You may miss the heated body contact, but the next best thing to being at an awesome metal show is watching a screening of one in all its sonic glory.

That’s what you’ll get Tuesday, when “Big Four,” a satellite-beamed concert headlined by Metallica goes out to exclusive theaters around the U.S. including Hawaii.

The Vasil Levski Stadium in Sofia, Bulgaria will rock — make that RAWK! — when Metallica takes the stage, supported by fellow metal heavyweights Slayer, Megadeth and Anthrax. That’s at least four hours’ worth of headbanging glory.

The show is rated R and, dear patrons, please don’t trash the theater during the show. The management will appreciate your restraint.
