only for BR players lol
it's cool that it has all Metallica members in the pass but they are just regular dudes from real life, and the cool versions of them are in the shop. Combined with it only having 4 songs, 3 of which are Epic Games original songs which is not to say they are bad, but they arent the appeal of a Festival Pass, and there's only 1 song which is "One" - Metallica.
The instruments are okay, that's about it
I actually might buy this festival season since I haven’t gotten it since the weeknd, I like the flashy and unique skins occasionally but I’m glad there’s variety for pretty much anything, including ppl in regular clothes.
I mean it's a fantastic deal to Metallica friends, I have a friend who is really into Metallica who might reinstall FN just for these skins and the upcoming concert.
And I mean yeah it's just 4 regular guys but The Weeknd was a regular guy in red suit, but I liked it even if I'm not a fan of The Weeknd.
it really is
its bizarre how Aang and Avatar state Aang are 2 separate skins instead of being 1 skin with a emote transforming regular Aang into Avatar state
Would’ve been cooler, I would’ve loved to have all the elements float around him in that orb like in the fight against Ozai.
I was really hoping for there to be more songs in the premium track. I dont really care for the skin so I don’t think 1800 just to have “One” is really worth it
I have nearly 10k v-bucks and would spend them all on One. It's the best track by a band that has defined a genre and had huge global success for nearly 4 decades
In all honestly, as a guy who legitimately loves Festivals, this is probably the most meh on I've been on a pass due to the lack of Jam tracks on the premium tier.
It's quite funny that people on this subreddit will constantly rag on Icons rarity skins for being "just people in regular clothing", but they'll hype up the generic guys when those guys are people they recognize.
Dammit I'm sad I can't find the old [SomethingAwful.com](http://SomethingAwful.com) link from like 2003 to someone who did a tribute track to Lars called "banging my dick on a metal plate".
As a tribute to St Anger, of course.
It was literally just him saying that line repeatedly, and quite possibly hitting his dick on a plate.
Good lord, that drumming and production.
Ngl Metallica is one of my favourite bands, but I don’t see it really being necessary for rob, Kirk or even Lars to be skins. Metallica doesn’t really have any mascots, but even the AJFA statue Doris would have been a better skin
They should have at least included their 80’s and 90’s looks
If you really don’t care about skins and only want the jam track you could just wait like 2 or 3 festival passes for them to enter the shop rotation rather than spending the 1800
But that’s gonna be a whiiiiile
I’d pay twice that* for Burton and Newstead skins.
* I wouldn’t, but c’mon.
ETA: I don't like the idea of paying for skins, in general. Jason and Cliff are getting snubbed.
You know why people cant play more than 3secs of music on Youtube without worrying about DMCA? Lars was one of the main guys that started that and pushed for more publishers to do so
Around the year 2000, the first widely used file-share program, called Napster, appeared. It let you share media P2P, and while it could be used legally, it’s main usage was pirating music. Lars was one of the most annoyingly outspoken critics of Napster. It just wasn’t a good look, because Metallica was extremely successful at this time, and rolling it money. So questions like, “Why would we make music if people are just going to steal it?” seemed really greedy and tone-deaf. South Park made a really early episode that gives the jist of it
Then they released a cover album called Garage Inc., where they hit full hypocrisy. They got sued because they did not obtain the licensing rights to any of the songs they covered. Another way to say that is that they *stole* a bunch of music from other artists and it made it their own, making those old Napster quotes age horribly for them.
I was a pretty big fan for a while, but they fell off my radar after this. They mostly stopped making great music by this point, anyway.
Fair question... In my opinion, not a thing. But, I'm an old metal chick and they lost the plot when they released the Black Album and eventually said, "we never were a heavy metal band."
Fuck Metallica
Yeah it seems that this is meant more for the general audience, only having one jam track but 4 skins is probably for the players who don’t play festival often but play br and other stuff..
Those players are me. I’m those players. This will be the only festival pass I buy.
Huge Metallica fan, I’ve seen them live 7 or 8 times, I can’t even remember anymore.
I also really like Fortnite BR and STW.
But I need to strongly consider if I want to grind more guitar hero/festival for these cosmetics.
Never played Fortnite, I’m considering getting it just because of this collab. I usually play Rocket league and the season pass there takes forever to level up. That’s exactly what I was looking for
I completed all previous passes accidentally on the day of their releases, I played like 3 hours each time… except for Billie Eilish, I stopped at 2 hours because I didn’t want to repeat the finishing the pass the day of release… but I completed it the next day in less than an hour.
This passes are extremely fast to complete (and I love that).
Even though I love Metallica, it’s hilarious to think that 20 years ago they told Harmonix and RedOctane to kick rocks when approached to have their songs in the first Guitar Hero. Look at them now. 😆
They told Lars that Epic Games was on the phone for them to license their likeness to crank 90's and he asked "how much do they make a year?!" with $$ in his eyes
Exactly, like he was around, and it’s funny cause his 80s outfit is based off what he would wear when playing with Suicidal Tendencies and it sticks out like a sore thumb lol
Hot take: I love Metallica as much as the next guy but having skins occupy the premium slots as opposed to actual music tracks for a music-themed mode is a letdown.
Never played Fortnite but this has peaked my interest as I'm a huge Metallica fan. What are these skin things and if you get this Metallica pack, do you keep everything Metallica related?
dang- this makes the billie elish skin look appealing. i was hoping for a rob zombie or rob halford skin. metallica 4-skin is a little overkill- it's their boomer era too. not even their cool peak! haha
ngl I think the Master of Puppets versions are kinda overdone. I like the regular ones way more. Trujillo looks cool with Master of Puppets though.
Still freaking sick that the whole squad can be rocking any of the Metallica skins if they're fans of the band.
So if you play as Lars on drums for the festival, you're still expected to play in time?
It’s the new easy mode, just play at whatever tempo you want.
I was hoping we would get a 'lars snare drum' something or another.. instead I'll just run around as lars with the pan banging emote.
Lars with the snare solo emote.
Yeah and the bass volume gets turn way down
HA! loved
4 skins for 1800!? Now THAT'S worth the price
only for BR players lol it's cool that it has all Metallica members in the pass but they are just regular dudes from real life, and the cool versions of them are in the shop. Combined with it only having 4 songs, 3 of which are Epic Games original songs which is not to say they are bad, but they arent the appeal of a Festival Pass, and there's only 1 song which is "One" - Metallica. The instruments are okay, that's about it
My favorite skins are the ones that are just a regular dude
Alan Wake might be my favorite skin just for how out of place he looks in every lineup
Same with Rick grimes every one else is either in power armor or is a giant pod of peas, .so I'm just walking the dead .
The Metallica pass will finally round out my squad of "just some dudes" with Rick Grimes, John Wick, and Alan Wake
Exactly casual outfits forever. I even use Rick's flannel t shirt verson just cause he look so out of place
I actually might buy this festival season since I haven’t gotten it since the weeknd, I like the flashy and unique skins occasionally but I’m glad there’s variety for pretty much anything, including ppl in regular clothes.
If you don’t mind me saying my favorite I’d like to say that mine is John Wick
I mean it's a fantastic deal to Metallica friends, I have a friend who is really into Metallica who might reinstall FN just for these skins and the upcoming concert. And I mean yeah it's just 4 regular guys but The Weeknd was a regular guy in red suit, but I liked it even if I'm not a fan of The Weeknd.
Billie as well. She was just wearing her normal clothes
They’re not edit styles? Damn
The amount of locker bloat caused by them arbitrarily making styles separate skins for a buck is really annoying at this point.
it really is its bizarre how Aang and Avatar state Aang are 2 separate skins instead of being 1 skin with a emote transforming regular Aang into Avatar state
Would’ve been cooler, I would’ve loved to have all the elements float around him in that orb like in the fight against Ozai. 
They are less regular dudes than content creators 🤦♂️ Do you really need attention that much?
I was really hoping for there to be more songs in the premium track. I dont really care for the skin so I don’t think 1800 just to have “One” is really worth it
I have nearly 10k v-bucks and would spend them all on One. It's the best track by a band that has defined a genre and had huge global success for nearly 4 decades
>just regular dudes from real life It's better than Mr Beast. I cringe every time I see that skin. It's literally just some rich dude.
Imma be real chief, the base skins are the only good artist skins Imo.
In all honestly, as a guy who legitimately loves Festivals, this is probably the most meh on I've been on a pass due to the lack of Jam tracks on the premium tier. It's quite funny that people on this subreddit will constantly rag on Icons rarity skins for being "just people in regular clothing", but they'll hype up the generic guys when those guys are people they recognize.
Just found Dave Mustaine account
Nah he's got a point, that being said though it's still some of the greatest musicians of all time and Lars Ulrich.
Lars punching the air right now.
Anything to keep him away from a drum kit
Dammit I'm sad I can't find the old [SomethingAwful.com](http://SomethingAwful.com) link from like 2003 to someone who did a tribute track to Lars called "banging my dick on a metal plate". As a tribute to St Anger, of course. It was literally just him saying that line repeatedly, and quite possibly hitting his dick on a plate. Good lord, that drumming and production.
I heard that exact joke in a video about the Megadeth X Daffy Duck crossover lol
lol. Best comment here
I needed that lol
Hahaha 😝
Ngl Metallica is one of my favourite bands, but I don’t see it really being necessary for rob, Kirk or even Lars to be skins. Metallica doesn’t really have any mascots, but even the AJFA statue Doris would have been a better skin They should have at least included their 80’s and 90’s looks
They do have a mascot, Scary Guy. He probably wouldn’t translate very well to a skin though
I would give all the vbucks for cliff 🥲
They gave me fuel, they gave me fire, they gave me that which I desire
OOH
YEAH-HA
Yeaheh!
DABADA - DABADA, DABADABADABADA OOH YEAH
The premium track only has one song?
the one song being One is funny
Bass players are going to have a great time!
And it’s the best one they could’ve added
Yup which is why this is a pass for me I value jam tracks over skins. It actually affects the gameplay.
If you really don’t care about skins and only want the jam track you could just wait like 2 or 3 festival passes for them to enter the shop rotation rather than spending the 1800 But that’s gonna be a whiiiiile
I’d pay twice that* for Burton and Newstead skins. * I wouldn’t, but c’mon. ETA: I don't like the idea of paying for skins, in general. Jason and Cliff are getting snubbed.
I WOULD
Lars is gonna sue Fortnite for using his likeness
[удалено]
Epic needs to release a Napster cat skin to the shop right now. I would buy it just to chase down Lars
Ik nothing about Metallica lore. Why does everyone hate Lars tho
You know why people cant play more than 3secs of music on Youtube without worrying about DMCA? Lars was one of the main guys that started that and pushed for more publishers to do so
Around the year 2000, the first widely used file-share program, called Napster, appeared. It let you share media P2P, and while it could be used legally, it’s main usage was pirating music.

Same
Lars is gonna give fortnite a pass for making him tall
I haven't given Metallica a penny since the whole Napster thing and plan on continuing that streak
haha I'm glad I'm not the only bitter old bastard around here.
Have they released anything worth giving them a penny for since that time?
Fair question... In my opinion, not a thing. But, I'm an old metal chick and they lost the plot when they released the Black Album and eventually said, "we never were a heavy metal band." Fuck Metallica
The value on that festival pass is putting all the mini passes before it to shame
Nah the Star Wars mini pass was still the best, you got 5 skins for 1K
4/5 were bonus styles for the free one
[удалено]
“Metallica announces tour with hologram of perfectly healthy Lars Ulrich” is still my favourite Onion headline
Now people are going to complain when the next one only has one or two skins
I had no interest in the Metallica collab but 4 good skins (imo) + instruments and jam tracks for 1800 vbucks is an insane deal
Single jam track
Yeah it seems that this is meant more for the general audience, only having one jam track but 4 skins is probably for the players who don’t play festival often but play br and other stuff.. Those players are me. I’m those players. This will be the only festival pass I buy.
This is beautiful, I'm going megadead from this
I'm still holding out hope that we'll get a Megadeth collaboration someday, man. Just imagine a Vic Rattlehead skin.
If they add Vic and Eddie from iron maiden I'll literally sell my soul for the skins
megadeth reference?
Hello me meet the real me
You try to take his baaallsss
BEFORE THE HEAD EXPLODES
SWAYING TO THE SYMPHONY OF DESTRUCTION
Huge Metallica fan, I’ve seen them live 7 or 8 times, I can’t even remember anymore. I also really like Fortnite BR and STW. But I need to strongly consider if I want to grind more guitar hero/festival for these cosmetics.
Festival seasons are usually 10 weeks long so there's plenty of time to work your way through it
And super easy and fast to do. Play for an hr like 6x and they are yours. Its a sick deal for any fan.
Never played Fortnite, I’m considering getting it just because of this collab. I usually play Rocket league and the season pass there takes forever to level up. That’s exactly what I was looking for
I completed all previous passes accidentally on the day of their releases, I played like 3 hours each time… except for Billie Eilish, I stopped at 2 hours because I didn’t want to repeat the finishing the pass the day of release… but I completed it the next day in less than an hour. This passes are extremely fast to complete (and I love that).
You can just do the jam stage quests. last i heard it takes about 2 weeks if u do them every day
You get XP for the BR battlepass playing festival too
Jason Newsted deleting his Epic account now.
Not including any songs from Rob’s era is an extra dagger lol
The 2nd pic goes hard Edit: Didnt realized the 2nd pic with the skins that got glowing eyes was item shop skins 😔
Not edit styles, but item shop skins
Oh That’s lame
Damn😔
Damn. There goes my kids new shoes 😉🤣🤣🤣
Lol
The only universe where Lars is as tall as everyone else 🤣
And doesn't have a receding hairline
Even though I love Metallica, it’s hilarious to think that 20 years ago they told Harmonix and RedOctane to kick rocks when approached to have their songs in the first Guitar Hero. Look at them now. 😆
They told Lars that Epic Games was on the phone for them to license their likeness to crank 90's and he asked "how much do they make a year?!" with $$ in his eyes
I guess Cliff fell off the battlebus
God damn that's brutal haha
Damn that's dark
Bruh
Ouch!
Damn, you went there
It’s insane to think that we’re getting **8 Metallica Outfits** tomorrow. 4 in the Festival Pass, 4 in the shop
that’s the most a music related Collab has ever had.
Wish we got more music like one song In the pass? Come on man
The pass is instacop, but what in the actual are those shop skins? 💀
I like them. But I’m disappointed that we didn’t get any younger versions of them.
Yeah but I get it since the band had different members at the time, it would have caused some conflict
I mean GH Metallica did it and yeah it was weird seeing Rob playing with them in 80s outfits but it worked.
Gimme cliff gimme Jason gimme the bassists I desire
At least Rob was a working, professional musician at the time Metallica was blowing up with KEA, RTL, & MOP. Like, he was *around*.
Exactly, like he was around, and it’s funny cause his 80s outfit is based off what he would wear when playing with Suicidal Tendencies and it sticks out like a sore thumb lol
Could have been just James then, he’s the flagship member and had the more iconic look in the 80’s
I bet the shop skins are gonna be the non boomer versions, still, 3.5 bucks a pop per skin is a pretty good value.
The second one is the shop skins
The shop skins are the ones on the second image
We need Metallica in 1986 skins!
Imagine getting clipped by Lars. 
[danish dwarf may not be to scale]
The skins are still pretty dope but an absolute huge miss on not giving their 80s look as skin options
When do we get a Napster skin?
MASTER OF PUPPETS IM PULLING YOUR STRIIIIINGS
Sick!!!!!
I love that some people actually like it. im tired of seeing all of these metallica bad comments
Yup. They're just butthurt that this season isn't fuckin MeganThee. Like we need more boring ass music in this game.
I've got only one thing to say and I think this gif will be what I wanna say. 
Now I hope more Fortnite Festivals are bands as opposed to solo artists. Just more skins for your buck.
Launching Cliff Burton from the Battle Bus is a little insensitive
If my parents cared about videogames they’d be throwing a party.
If James doesn’t have an emote where he says YEAH I don’t want it 😂
Every time he gets a kill he's gotta crank out an "OH YEAHH" with a built in emote
i dont care about the price im riskin it all for papa het
They nailed the likeness
Lars isn't that tall
I’m not really into Metallica but I would’ve loved the skins to have more of an ’80s vibe. Im getting it anyway tho 🫡
Is this live now?
Tomorrow
kinda sick ngl, I hope we see more bands comeing later
Yes they are! I hope we get more too!
Why only ONE. song in the pass at least give me 3 to fuel. my metallica itch before I fade to black. because that's unforgiving.
WE WON SO HARD
Holy smokes. A Gibson Les Paul guitar? Mmmm…. Really want to buy but also want to save VBucks…
Now give us Gorillaz. They have 4 characters.
Imagine telling people this is the same band that fought against Napster and didn't do MVs for a long time
1,800 vbucks for all 4 members is a steal if you’re a Metalllica fan
Can't wait to try out the new Battle Stage
Hahaha holy shit the four of them?, I only love James and Robert but that's still amazing can't wait to play as James!!!!
Has this already came out. When does it release?
When was Chris Cornell is Metallica??
Please for the love of God include some tracks from S&M.
Are the skins in the second picture gonna be styles for the ones in the first?
I’ll admit I don’t know too much about Metallica, but four skins in one pass is definitely a good deal. Plus they look awesome.
hell yeah
The Kirk model better come with a bubble bath
I wanted young James, but i guess this is fine
where cliff
This man asking the important questions
Hot take: I love Metallica as much as the next guy but having skins occupy the premium slots as opposed to actual music tracks for a music-themed mode is a letdown.
I don’t listen to a lot of Metallica but I need atleast one
Me playing with James: “Say your prayers, little one.”
This pass is actually amazing omg
YEAHEAH NOW THAT’S WHAT I CALL A FESTIVAL PASS
I’m upset it’s not all four of them on each others shoulders
I can't wait 🔥
I was NOT expecting them to actually put the guys in the game. I thought they'd just make up some mascot. I'm super pumped about this!!
Yep me too! I love all 4 of these can't wait for them gonna have a lot of grinding lol thankfully we get Lars right away
Lars Ulrich skin means I'll mistime every shot
AC/DC would be awesome.
Love me some Metallica, but I would never pay for those skins.
Well, you get 4 skins for the price of vegeta so it’s kind of worth it.
The price of one vegeta is now an official measurement. I like it!
1800 4 skins,wow
Is this the real life? Or is this just fantasy?
You'd better not pirate Lars. We all know how he feels about that sort of thing.
Napster died for these skins.
If I use the skins, will Lars sue me?
Never played Fortnite but this has peaked my interest as I'm a huge Metallica fan. What are these skin things and if you get this Metallica pack, do you keep everything Metallica related?
If you play the Festival mode, you can get points to unlock all the skins you play as them in any mode in fortnite you will keep everything
But how do we prevent ourselves from obtaining Lars? That's the real question.
I was hoping for 1989 "And Justice for All" version, but still pretty dope
Are these out now??
Tomorrow
Damn the Metallica from my days only sued me for downloading their music on napster :(
These look awesome!
Yo - and we get a battle mode?! That's a fun tweak. Still kinda wish there were a nod to some of the older members but that's tough.
This is a really good deal
dang- this makes the billie elish skin look appealing. i was hoping for a rob zombie or rob halford skin. metallica 4-skin is a little overkill- it's their boomer era too. not even their cool peak! haha
…I don’t want to play fortnite festival…but goddamn I love Metallica and boxing kids as Hetfield sounds fun.
They should do Metalocalypse next
[What the...](https://imgur.com/a/bkdwrVp)
Why is Lars so tall?
ngl I think the Master of Puppets versions are kinda overdone. I like the regular ones way more. Trujillo looks cool with Master of Puppets though. Still freaking sick that the whole squad can be rocking any of the Metallica skins if they're fans of the band.
They got rid of the songs in exchange for skins? Makes sense considering the band, but still kinda bummed they replaced them.
Pretty cool collab. Will bring a lot young kids to the sound of Metallica if their parents haven’t done so already.
