Ticket America Has Your Bruce Springsteen Concert Tickets

The year 1949 was a great year when it comes to the birth of a superstar. It was the year that Bruce Frederick Joseph Springsteen, affectionately known to fans around the world as “The Boss” was born. A native of New Jersey, Springsteen has been thrilling crowds around the world since 1972 with his signature sound of songs with heartland rock.

Widely appreciated for his poetic lyrics and Americana tunes that are infused with sentiments about New Jersey and his particular brand of rock, there are very few people who haven’t heard of The Boss. Often, just the first few bars of one of his songs and you find yourself singing along with the lyrics because his feel good music reminds you of how great it is to be an American. Springsteen has performed with the E Street Band, Miami Horns, Seeger Sessions Band and Steel Mill and if you appreciate nothing else about Springsteen, you know that he puts heart and soul into his songs.

Strong expressions run across his face in some of the intense ballads he performs and you feel the rhythm that makes you get up and dance in his party rock-style tunes and rousing anthems. He draws us into deeply emotional stories in song form and we relate because the tunes could easily have been written about us. His albums Born in the U.S.A. and Born to Run are the prime examples of how well Springsteen takes the American struggle of daily life and puts it to music in a grandiose style that you can’t help but appreciate. Born in the U.S.A. made Springsteen one of the most popular artists of the 80′s. With an Academy Award, 19 Grammy Awards and 2 Golden Globes, Springsteen has sold more than 195 million records around the world.

Continuing in the tradition that exhibits the passion and love for music that is a trademark, Springsteen and the E Street Band took to the road in March this year with an opening concert at the Convention Center in Springsteen’s hometown of Asbury Park, New Jersey. For hours, fans were delighted as Springsteen and the band blazed out more than 21 songs. Audiences across the country and around the world have been enjoying outstanding performances in venues since then and the excitement continues.

With just a few more opportunities that still like ahead for this tour, if you haven’t had the chance to witness Springsteen in action, you simply must get your hands on some of these tickets before they are all gone. It’s the last leg of the tour but as the saying goes, often they save the best for last. If you’re thinking about getting in on the best of the Springsteen tour for 2009, you’re in luck because this award winning singer can still be seen at the Bradley Center in Milwaukee, Wisconsin; the Sommett Center in Nashville, Tennessee; the 1st Mariner Arena in Baltimore, Maryland and the HSBC Arena in Buffalo, New York is the last planned stop for the tour.

If you’ve ever had the chance to see Springsteen performing live, you know there’s nothing that compares to witnessing this awesome performer. The E Street Band makes you get up and dance because you simply can’t resist the heart pounding percussions and guitars. Springsteen is famous for grabbing the harmonica, telecaster and guitar and belting out the music you’ve come to love him for. If you haven’t experienced this music live and in person, the opportunities are calling now and there’s no time like the present to get your tickets and check out Springsteen for yourself.

Missing The Boss? There are still a few venues left on the 2009 tour. Ticket America has Bruce Springsteen venues. We have some of the best Concert Tickets available.

Ticket America Has Your Metallica Tickets

If you’re a fan, you already know that James Hetfield, Lars Ulrich, Kirk Hammett and Robert Trujillo are the current members of the smash hits band Metallica. Did you know that former members included Ron McGovney, Dave Mustaine, Cliff Burton and Jason Newsted. Now you do. Metallica has been delighting audiences since 1981 when this heavy metal band first formed in Los Angeles, California. Also recognized for their skills in thrash metal, hard rock and speed metal, Metallica got its start when Ulrich posted an advertisement in his local paper.

Whether you appreciate the group most for their earlier releases that included aggressive tempos and fast instrumentals or are more of a fan of their newer releases, there’s no question that Metallica has played their way to the top in the underground music community as well has hitting the top of the charts with their 1991 self-titled album. Their prior album Master of Puppets had already thrust Metallica into the limelight in 1986 and received critical acclaim as one of the most influential heavy thrash metal albums.

To date, Metallica has won nine Grammy Awards. This successful band has sold more than 100 million records around the world with the release of their album Death Magnetic. With two live albums, nine studio albums, forty-five singles, two EPs and twenty-four music videos, Metallica has shined in the star light of having five consecutive albums to make their debut at number one on Billboard 200. Tragedy struck Metallica when Burton was killed in a freak bus accident where other members of the band only sustained minor injuries. It was a devastating blow but after Burton’s family gave their blessings, approximately 40 people tried out as a replacement before newcomer Newsted joined the band.

In May, 2009, Metallica was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. By this time, Newsted had left the band and been replaced by Trujillo. Both Newsted and Trujillo performed on stage and Burton’s father was on hand to receive this prestigious award in his son’s honor. In November, 2009, Metallica was on hand to perform at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame’s two-night series of concerts that were held at Madison Square Garden in New York.

True to the excitement that Metallica always creates at a concert, the band performed Sweet Jane with Lou Reed, All Day and All of the Night with Ray Davies, Iron man/Paranoid with Ozzy Osborne and outstanding renditions of For Whom the Bells Toll and Enter Sandman. HBO was on hand to record every step of the journey with Metallica for this fantastic event so you can expect the program to air on cable.

Currently, the World Magnet Tour lives up to its name in every sense of the word. Since January, Metallica has performed to sold out crowds across the United States and around the world. From the first concert, which was performed on January 12 at Bradley Center in Milwaukee, Wisconsin to their recent November 15 performances at Madison Square Garden in New York, New York fans everywhere have been snatching up tickets to see and hear this band perform live.

The World Magnet Tour continues through the end of 2009 with many venues already sold out for shows scheduled at Mandalay Bay in Vegas, Idaho Center in Boise, ARCO Arena in Sacramento, Honda Center in Anaheim and HP Pavilion in San Jose. With some much deserved time off for the Christmas and New Year’s holidays, fans can expect Metallica to return to the tour circuit on January 19, 2010 when they’ll be performing at Estadio San Marcos in Lima, Peru. From there, it’s no stopping Metallica as they venture to Santiago (Chile), Porto Alegre (Brazil), Guadalajara and Monterrey (Mexico), Guatemala City (Guatemala), San Jose (Costa Rica), Panama City (Panama), Bogota (Columbia), Caracas (Venezula), San Juan (Puerto Rick), Oslo (Norway), Riga (Latvia), Vilnius (Lithuania), Moscow (Russia) and Belfast (N.
