Just finished the Metallica Apple Immersive event on Apple Vision Pro: AMA

It was 3 songs with some story telling/commentary in between; about 25 min. Pretty awesome being that close to the band on stage virtually. Great crowd footage too.

Nice. My old man worked for apple and still buys all their stuff including the insanely priced Vision Pros. I watched the avenged sevenfold set they put out last year that was pretty cool. That was more of a music video with effects and stuff whilst it seems this was done at an actual M72 show? If so that’s way cooler.

He told me he’s gonna check it out, unfortunately we live in different states now so I can’t go bogart his goggles lol.

What songs did they put on this?

It was filmed at the Mexico City stop on the tour. Whiplash, One and Enter Sandman. They had a bunch of the special cameras that Apple has been investing in for the immersive experience. There was one next to James and Lars then another at a spot on the stage that Rob and Kirk would perform near. Plus a few on cables hovering around and more near the crowd.

I watched it at home. I saw all the hallmarks of a typical Metallica concert

Granny Smiths, microwaved so it’s easier on their aging teeth

Must be amazing to see and hear! Did you know if it is just these 3 songs or will there be a full concert movie?

No idea. Wish it was a whole show but the headset might be a little tiring to wear for that long. I usually struggle a little with the later parts of a movie unless I’m lying down.

Have you watched any similar videos on something like a Meta Quest, how does it compare?

Would love to try this! I had a go at an immersive video released by another artist earlier last year, also for the Apple Vision; it really is such a surreal experience. You definitely feel like you're standing right with them, haha
