Ever wonder who did the design we uncover here.

Are you a massive Metallica fan or one in the making and want to know everything there is to know about them aside from just their classic catalog? Well then, consider yourself one of us and welcome to the family. When we aren’t blasting the band’s legendary albums , we’re also researching cool facts about them that we never knew before. Today’s topic of discussion is the history of the Metallica logo and how it all came to be upon the band's debut. Similar to what we’ve done previously with The Rolling Stones and The Beatles , we’re going to take a deep dive into who exactly created the Metallica logo, the design process behind it, and how the logo has evolved over the years.  

Are you ready our fellow Master of Puppets. Let’s rewind time and take it all the way back to the rockin’ 1980s shall we?

Who Designed The Metallica Logo?

Believe it or not, the logo for Metallica was actually created by none other than James Hetfield. According to Metalheadcommunity.com , Hetfield studied drawing while in high school, and put those handy artistic skills to use originally in a sketch he made to promote the group as they were getting started with local performances. Hetfield designed the name/logo it to where the letters "M" and "A" in Metallica were more elongated than the rest, giving birth to an iconic creation. Metallica began using the original logo in 1981, with its first official appearance being on the cover of their 1983 debut studio album Kill ‘Em All . From there you can say the Metallica logo only evolved.

The Different Iterations of the Metallica Logo

Like many of their contemporaries, Metallica’s logo has gone through different evolutions over the years. Here’s a breakdown of some of the different ones.

Logo # 1 (1983 - 1996)

This first iteration is what remains the most popular with the M and A elongation and lightning flash symbols. On different album covers such as Ride the Lightning and Master of Puppets , the band would play around with 3D shapes and things of that nature, but the core of the logo remained the same. Metallica would keep this version from 1983 to 1996.

Logo # 2 (1996 - 2003)

From 1993 to 1996, Metallica would use just a regular simple font that was way more subtle compared to its predecessor. The "M" and "A" remained slightly elongated still, but the lightning flash symbols were gone. In our opinion, this is our least favorite version of the logo because it took away the Metallica personality represented within it. The first logo felt like a representation of a true rock band. This, however, just feels like words on a piece of paper (the logo did look kind of cool on those headbands though).

Logo # 3 (2003 - 2008)

Screen Shot 2023 10 25 at 10.10.57 AM

Now we’re talking! The logo used from 2003 to 2008 definitely felt much more “Metallica,” with the letters looking like they were engulfed in flames. This logo brought the personality and spark back, and it definitely felt like a logo that wasn’t just a representation of a rock band, but one of the most legendary rock bands of all time.

Logo # 4 (2008 to present)

And in 2008 Metallica took it back to the beginning with a slightly enhanced version of its original 1981 design. The extreme elongation on the "M" and "A" was back and so we’re the electric lightning flashes. This logo represents the Metallica we were all introduced to and fell in love with, therefore it’s Metallica in its most original form. In our opinion, Metallica doesn’t need to make anymore changes because this iteration represents them completely, and perhaps they too feel the same way because they haven’t changed it in fifteen years. Metallica always.

What Has 500 Speakers, 87 Trucks and 2 Nights of No Repeats? Enter Metallica’s ‘M72’ Tour

How the band is getting most of its fans to buy tickets to two shows in a row — and bringing them closer to the action than ever.

By Robert Levine

Metallica

HAMBURG, GERMANY — The pre-concert VIP tour of Metallica ‘s M72 stadium staging is something of a show in itself.  

A few hours before the first of two “no repeat” weekend Metallica concerts — where the band plays different songs every night — on May 26, Jon-Michael Marino , a member of the band’s management team is walking the floor of the Volksparkstadion. It is set up for the band’s performance with a giant ring-shaped stage, the center of which will be a fan-filled “Snake Pit,” and eight monolithic towers of monitors and speakers. Each of the towers is anchored by a raised platform that doubles as VIP seating, with eight folding chairs decorated with the black-and-yellow color scheme of the band’s new album, 72 Seasons .  

Metallica Sells So Much Vinyl It Just Bought Its Own Pressing Plant

The platforms are needed to anchor the towers — which weigh in at 11 tons without the bases, Marino says — so the band’s team figured they might as well put seats there, too. For a fee of $7,272 — the price a deliberate echo of the album title — fans can reserve the entire platform for both nights, complete with a cooler full of drinks and some other bonuses, as what the band calls an “enhanced experience.” The platforms are about half as high as the stage, so “you’re right in front of them,” Marino says, meaning the band. “You feel like maybe you should put your phone away.”

Trending on Billboard

“We try to do something a little different every time we go out,” says Cliff Burnstein , co-founder of the management Q Prime, which has managed Metallica for decades. Metallica has already done arena tours in the round, so it wanted to try doing the same thing in stadiums. But the band’s team felt that the normal setup – a circular stage in the center of a football field, would create too much distance between the group and its audience.   

Metallica Singer James Hetfield Visits Wounded Ukrainian Soldiers in Hospital

“I was that kid who used to sit in the last row, so I thought, how do you make this better,” remembers Dan Braun , the band’s creative director and scenic and production designer. (Braun, who has worked for the band for three decades jokes he “grew up in that hotbed of the entertainment business: Milwaukee, Wisconsin.”) “You move the stage closer to the crowd” — hence the ring, which has fans inside and out – “and you create twice as many front-row seats.” 

That requires a production that travels in 87 trucks — 45 for the band and its setup, plus two groups of 21 each for the steel stage and towers. Loading in and building the stage and towers takes several days, so while the band uses one setup, the other leapfrogs it to the next city on the tour. (There are 130 people in the band’s crew along, plus 40 steelworkers, local hires and truck drivers.) 

The load-in is so complicated and expensive that it creates an incentive to play two shows in each venue. “Playing a stadium is so expensive production-wise,” Burnstein says. “The value of doing two shows is there’s only one set-up and load-out, so we’re basically partnering with ourselves to lower the cost.” 

Doing pairs of concerts in each city with a pledge to not repeat the same songs, an idea Braun says came from frontman James Hetfield and drummer Lars Ulrich, encourages fans to see both shows. “We know from past experience that people will travel for a Metallica show,” Burnstein says — and many fans seem just as interested in traveling for two. (The Hamburg show was packed with fans who would be back two days later, and a few planned to see the band in Munich next year.) Since the band will only play 22 cities in 2023 and 2024, many fans will have to come to them. 

Are You Ready for the ‘Country Metal’ Sound? Rock’s Revival Takes Rural Route

At first, the band only sold tickets to both shows together, for about 20% less than it would cost to buy both separately, and Burnstein says that between 80% and 90% of fans at each concert will attend both shows. (Fans who want more can buy one of the band’s “I Disappear” passes , different versions of which allow entry to all the shows the band plays on one continent for a year, two continents for a year, or two continents for two years.)  

“A Metallica show is half-band and half-audience,” says Braun, who has thought a lot about how the group and the crowd amplifies one another’s energy. “If the band has a better experience, it’s better for the audience. If the audience has a great experience, it’s better for the band. Anything that gets in the way of that is bad.” To him, the key to the production isn’t the scale but the way it can bring fans closer to the action – to give a stadium the immediacy of a smaller room. “I like to challenge the cliches of Metallica,” which he describes as not just a great metal group but a great rock band. “They’re great entertainment,” he says. “The object is to give them the best platform to interact.” 

There’s also a desire to make the show memorable — in this case, enough to see twice. “Once you raise the bar to where it is, how do you keep doing better,” says John Zajonc , known as Lug, who has worked for the band on and off for three decades and helps run the tour logistics. “The scale is massive.”

The Proof Is In The Flavor

What makes BLACKENED different?

No Gimmicks. All Science.

Black noise sonic enhancement

The BLACK NOISE TM sonic-enhancement process produces low hertz sound waves, causing the whiskey to reverberate at a fast rate, interacting with the oak staves of the barrel, measurably releasing wood compounds and flavors like toasted coconut, vanilla, butterscotch, and caramel.

Layering & Enhancing Flavors

Remastered and cask finished

Remastering whiskey means layering flavors during blending and enhancing the base through cask-finishing, while using our BLACK NOISE sonic enhancement to extract more flavor, resulting in a one-of-a-kind Blackened taste.

The Best Or Nothing

Created with Metallica’s Standards

Metallica approached whiskey-making the same way they’ve always approached music pushing to create something original and better. They work only with collaborators who share their uncompromising commitment to quality and pour their souls into it until they’ve made something that’s truly special.

When you buy through our links, Business Insider may earn an affiliate commission. Learn more

After announcing the upcoming end of his Madison Square Garden residency this year, the demand for Billy Joel concert tickets is growing in 2024. Thankfully, there are still a few avenues for how to get Billy Joel tickets for his 2024 concert tour and remaining MSG shows.

The "Piano Man" singer has held an MSG residency since 2014, setting a record for the most shows at the New York City arena for solo artists. But, after a decade of monthly shows at Madison Square Garden, the curtains are closing on his residency in July 2024. While his MSG residency is ending, the singer's long-running "Billy Joel in Concert" tour will still continue throughout the year in various cities across the United States.

Billy Joel has 12 more shows scheduled throughout 2024, including a few more performances at Madison Square Garden. The year's confirmed remaining dates will take place across ten cities before ending in Las Vegas, Nevada in November. As such, there are various opportunities to see Billy Joel sing his hits like "Vienna," "Movin' Out," and "Uptown Girl" in 2024.

We've got you covered if you're looking for how to buy tickets to Billy Joel's 2024 concert tour. Here's our breakdown of the "Billy Joel in Concert" 2024 tour schedule, purchasing details, and original and resale ticket prices. You can also browse available tickets at your leisure on StubHub and Vivid Seats .

Billy Joel 2024 tour schedule

Billy Joel's 2024 concert tour is well underway, with only a few more chances to see him play at Madison Square Garden before his residency concludes. Joel has three more MSG performances in May, June, and July 2024, with the remaining concerts taking him to Chicago, Denver, Cleveland, St. Louis, Inglewood, San Antonio, and Las Vegas.

In the table below, you'll find the cheapest starting prices listed on Vivid Seats and StubHub at the time of publication. The dates with a "*" indicate that the show is part of Billy Joel and Sting's "One Night Only" concert series. All concert times are listed in local time zones.

How to buy tickets for Billy Joel's 2024 concert tour

You can currently buy standard original tickets for Billy Joel's 2024 concerts through Ticketmaster. However, some dates have already sold out of original tickets.

Tickets for Billy Joel's 2024 tour are also available to buy through verified resale vendors such as StubHub and Vivid Seats . Resale tickets are still available on these sites for his Madison Square Garden and Cardiff, Wales performances, which are sold out of original tickets.

How much are Billy Joel tickets?

Tickets to see Billy Joel cost substantially more for his remaining Madison Square Garden performances than his alternate US shows due to high demand. With original standard tickets being sold out for his MSG shows, the least expensive standard ticket overall is $54 in Denver, CO, on July 12. However, Billy Joel ticket prices are generally about the same price or less expensive on resale sites.

The cheapest ticket prices on StubHub start at $77 for Joel's concerts in Denver and San Antonio, the latter of which he co-headlines with Sting. Meanwhile, Vivid Seats' prices are generally comparable, with the vendor's least expensive Billy Joel ticket price being $72 for his 2024 Denver show. The two resale sites are relatively similar in availability for Joel's MSG shows, with prices beginning at $359 on Vivid Seats and $368 on StubHub for his performance on May 9.

Who is opening for Billy Joel's tour?

So far, Billy Joel hasn't confirmed any opening acts for his 2024 concert tour. However, Joel will co-headline one concert with Stevie Nicks in Chicago, one concert with Rod Stewart in Cleveland, and three shows with Sting in St. Louis, San Antonio, and Las Vegas. Chris Isaak will serve as a special guest for the Cardiff, Wales show.

Will there be international tour dates?

Billy Joel currently has one international tour date scheduled for his 2024 concert series. The "My Life" singer will perform in Cardiff, Wales on August 9.
