PHOTOS: Give me fuel, Give me fire! Metallica smashes the Spokane Arena

When Metallica comes to town, it's kind of a big deal.

The band barreled into a sold-out Spokane Arena show on Dec. 2 with all of the righteous fury you might expect from the legendary metal musicians. The band kicked off their first show in Spokane since 2004 with a few thrashers, notably one of my faves "Seek and Destroy."

Next up, the band heads to Portland on Dec. 5 as part of their WorldWired Tour.

Check out some of our photos from the show:
