THE VILLAGE VOICE (weekly), Greenwich Village, New York City, Aug. 5, 1986
* Metallica concert performance advertisement
* Heavy Metal band - Felt Forum (cancelled)
* James Hetfield - Cliff Burton - Kirk Hammett
* Scheduled weeks prior to Bassist Cliff Burton's death
Page 71 has a 5 1/2 x 4 3/4 inch advertisement for a upcoming performance by "METALLICA" at the Felt Forum inside Madison Square Garden.
background: The band was scheduled to perform at the Felt Forum as part of their Damage, Inc. tour supporting Master of Puppets, but the show was called off due to James Hetfield’s broken arm, which he sustained in a skateboarding accident earlier that summer. During this time, guitar tech John Marshall filled in on rhythm guitar for some shows, but certain dates — including the Felt Forum concert — were ultimately canceled or rescheduled. This incident occurred just weeks before the tragic death of bassist Cliff Burton in late September 1986.
I suspect this to be an extremely rare item because their was really no reason to save it at the time.
The Village Voice was an American counterculture newspaper known for being the country's first alternative newsweekly. It introduced free-form, high-spirited, and passionate journalism into the public discourse - a tradition it maintained throughout its 60+ year history. It is quite common to find great political cartoons, satirical cartoons and articles, thought-provoking editorials, and ads and reviews for both concerts and theater productions - both on and off Broadway. Many iconic writers and musicians credit their appearance in The Village Voice for at least a portion of their success.
Complete in 128 pages, one fold across the center, nice condition.
Provenance: This issue comes from The Village Voice's own archives, part of their in-house collection used to create their digital archive.
