"It is great to see you once again. We are grateful to be back in Madrid," METALLICA frontman James Hetfield told the crowd at Arganda del Rey some 20 kilometers (12 miles) southeast of Madrid after performing "Creeping Death", "For Whom The Bell Tolls" and "Through The Never".

According to Billboard.biz, attendance at the five-day Rock In Rio Madrid festival fell to 250,000 from the 290,000 who attended the five shows at the 2008 festival.

Rock in Rio founder and director Roberto Medina blamed the drop in numbers on bad weather on June 11 and the general economic problems in Spain.

"I am generally content with the festival, but the government's cuts announced two weeks ago have had a negative effect, especially the wage-freeze for civil servants [government employees]," said Medina.
