Metallica are kind of in the spirit of celebrating anniversaries at the moment. Do you think in 2013, it's possible for a show with the whole album played in it's entirety? I personally would love to see, and I think it's possible.

Seeing Rob play Anesthesia on night one showed me that he had probably learnt it for a reason, and that he didn't know the second half yet.

I think it's going to happen personally :)

If they were going to celebrate that album specifically, then there is no better way than doing it with guests like Dave Mustaine and having fun with it. And they've already done that now. I don't think it'll happen, if any album is to be played in full after The Black Album, it would have to be Ride.

Please no.

Why not! But I have some doubt if Metallica will release a new album later this year or more possible in 2013. A couple shows with Dave and boys connected with early Metallica history will be cool.

Because these things stop being special and/or a rare treat when you repeat them too often.
Examples: The Big 4 shows, recent live DVDs, riffs from Hate Train

Well I don't agree! Maidens does something similar in the recent 10 years. The cycle is: a new album with a tour, then a tour with only early 80's songs, then new album with tour. Then again a tour with only mid 80's songs. Then again a new album with tour, followed with 90's songs tour, e.t.c.
It's something like a celebrating their career!

This. KEM is not that great an album to be played in its entirety like they did with MOP and will be doing with TBA.

Boy, KEA changes lot of things back in the beginning of 80s! Personally I discover Metallica later, sometines in 85-86 but KEA still sounded somewhat like anything I ever heard in that time.

lol Kill 'E Mall
I don't exactly agree there actually tho. KEA was as much a landmark for thrash metal as MOP was for Metallica. It was always described as "I couldn't believe what I was hearing; I'd never heard anything quite like it, it blew me away" by people in those docs that had heard it for the first time.
But anyway, if nothing else, it shouldn't be played because every song off the album HAS been played, unlike Ride, Justice, and TBA.
