In 2004, the members of AlcoholicA had the honor of meeting the famous band Metallica during their last visit to Montreal, where James Hetfield said: “Thanks for keeping the spirit of Metallica alive when we are away”. Following this meeting, photos and videos of this memorable moment, titled “Metallica meets AlcoholicA”, were published on Metallica’s official ‘Met Club’ site. Two days later, the members of the band Godsmack, which has sold several million albums, attended an AlcoholicA show in Quebec City. Sully, the lead singer, mentioned that he has been captivated by the depth, passion, and precision of AlcoholicA’s performance. That same evening, some members of Metallica’s tour team, including Flemming Rasmussen (engineer and co-producer of the albums “Ride The Lightning” (1984) and “Master of Puppets” (1986)), ended their night by attending AlcoholicA’s show and were impressed by the quality of their performance.

Jean-François Vincenti – bassist (NonHuman Era) and founding member of AlcoholicA, Pierre St-Jean – singer and guitarist (Heaven’s Cry, NonHuman Era, Voivod), the talented Sebastien Dubuc on drums, and either of their two virtuoso guitarists, Jay Lupien or Sam Dufour, promise to deliver a performance like you’ve never seen or heard before! Rest assured, AlcoholicA will make your evening a truly memorable one!
