Police arrested the men during the weekend’s concert. “It will be alleged the men climbed up the central tower inside the bowl at the Metallica concert held at Optus Stadium on Saturday,” a police spokesperson said, per news.com.au. Metallica kicked off their long-awaited M72 Australian tour dates in Perth on the weekend. Their return to Australia marks the first time they’ve performed Down Under since headlining the 2013 edition of the long-gone Soundwave Festival, where they appeared alongside blink-182, Linkin Park, Slayer, Paramore, and many others. Following the Saturday concert, Metallica will continue proceedings with a date in Adelaide on Wednesday, 5 November, before visiting Melbourne this weekend, and wrapping up with shows in Brisbane and Sydney over the next week. Full dates are available here. Reviewing the Optus Stadium show, The Music’s Sam Mead declared: “The ante is upped as all members of the band take helm at the front of the catwalk and shred the life force out of Master Of Puppets to crowd now worshipping the gods of rock as they chant ‘obey your master’ getting a gift of fireworks for their efforts and a hearty chuckle. Cue rapture of applause.” Mead also highlighted the “lusciously expressive” visuals, “effortless” musicianship and banter, and praised the night’s support acts, Evanescence and Suicidal Tendencies. Ahead of the band’s first night in Australia, a pop-up store packed with M72 Australian tour merchandise opened in the heart of Perth. The shop was home to exclusive vinyl, screen-printed posters, skateboards, patches, a range of classic tees, accessories, and unique tour items.

Australian banks like ANZ keep breaking the law because the fines are so pathetically small compared to their massive profits that crime literally pays better than following the rules. While you'd go to jail for stealing $100, these banking bludgers can steal millions, charge dead people fees, and lie to the government - then just pay a tiny fine that's basically pocket change and keep all the profits.
