MetalliBash 2001 will be held September 1, 2001 in San Francisco's Maritime
Hall. Such acts as the Rollins Band and Dio, among many others, have played
the Maritime. Although this event is NOT sanctioned by the Metallica Club,
event organizers are hopeful of a cameo appearance by
the band members.
Six hundred tickets are available ONLY to Metallica Club members and their
guests, and will be sold only until August 1. A waiting list will be drawn
up once ticket sales exceed 600. Any profit from the event will be donated
to a charity to be determined at a later date.
The 18-and-over show will feature such standbys of any Metallica gathering
as bootleg trading, a chance for local chapters of the Metallica Club to
strut their stuff, and a commemorative t-shirt designed by two Club members.
The standouts of the night will be the raffle of Metallica goodies --
including the new action figures and original art by artist Mark DeVito --
and a night-capping performance, including a special musical set, by
Southern California's premiere Metallica tribute band, Creeping Death.
Tampa Bay rock radio station WXTB has also joined forces for
MetalliBash-related promotions, and more sponsors and companies are lining
up quickly.
