METALLICA In Guatemala City: Warning Shots, Pepper Gas And Power Outage

March 5, 2010

According to elPeriódico, Guatemalan police fired warning shots in the air and used pepper gas to disperse hundreds of METALLICA fans who tried to rush into the sold-out Estadio Mateo Flores (reported attendance: 27,000) in Guatemala City last night (Friday, March 5) in order to see the veteran metal act perform. The situation was eventually brought under control and the concert was reportedly a huge success despite a technical glitch that caused the power to go out during the second song of METALLICA's set, "For Whom The Bell Tolls". After a few minutes, the power came back on and METALLICA's performance resumed.

A five-minute report from Hechos.tv on the events surrounding last night's show can be viewed below.

METALLICA's setlist was as follows:

01. Creeping Death
