Share the Date of Your First Metallica Concert In El Paso No one could ever forget their first time seeing the greatest heavy metal band, Metallica. El Paso sure has been lucky to have the opportunity for that band to visit a handful of times. There are some lucky people out there that had the chance to see them all 5 times they stopped in El Paso.

Their February 28, 2019 show I like to believe rules over all other past performances they had in El Paso. Now I am not saying this only because this was my first time seeing Metallica but because of the prop effects.
