I accidentally broke a guys nose at a show once. douche kept pushing into me so I swung my elbow back. SNAP

Metallica is one of the biggest bands in the world. Not surprising that they'd go on for a few hours.

damn lol that is pretty wild but you got your money's worth

I think that only happened when I saw fall of troy on their first reunion tour back, they played for like 2-2.5 hours

This topic reminded me how excited I am to see Iron Maiden later this summer.

maybe i am jaded from all the bands that delay until 9:30 then play a 1hr set because they have to be out by 11

but metallica hit the stage as fast as they could at like 8:25 and was still launching fireworks and playing enter sandman at 11:01

Yah, Metallica definitely puts on a show.

for the artillery cannon blast in One they literally set off a firework ON STAGE

i may have lost my voice around that point

they opened with hardwired and IMMEDIATELY followed with atlas as if the two were designed to chain into one another

throughout the set the screens reverted to a red distorted face shot anytime they played stuff off their 2016 album. very helpful for identifying the new songs

but over that 2.5 hours they played essentially every single they've ever released

i live basically across the street from where theyre playing wednesday

wow thank god for this fucking topic because i didnt even realize it was that close

i bet you could still get tix to the philly show

some fucktard used bots to buy up all the tickets and has not been able to sell them all

also fwiw volbeat> avenged sevenfold

Idk man, from what I saw for ticket prices for NOSE BLEEDS fuck that dude. Lars is lazy, Kirk is sloppy, I still can't get over James voice these days and their guitar tone is horrendous. Although they were pretty dope at Yankee Stadium for the Big Four show back in 2012?


I'd like to go seen em again but not for those prices at this point in their career. Glad you had a good time though.

i cant make philly it's too short notice

i dont care for either of the bands besides metallica but i really want this experience

lars was great last night. kirk WAS sloppy, I will admit. There were parts of One that he was flubbing and I was like "whoa did that just happen?"

James' voice was great, there were just some moments in hardwired where I think he missed the emphasis. But it's a live performance, there are always flaws in a live performance. It did not ruin the experience.

The ticket prices are a result of dicks buying up the tickets and selling them all at inflated cost; waiting until like a week before to buy actually is better than buying months in advance.

Too bad their music sucks after 1991. And I'd even say it sucks after ride the lightening.

Asherlee10 posted...

Are you a big Metallica fan or just so-so?

I'm guessing their stage presence is pretty spectacular.

i would describe myself as a big metallica fan yeah

james is nearly 100% of their stage presence and he is a titan

the new album is sweet. death magnetic is...not, but they only did 1 song off it. they played almost every song off the black album and i dont think you could complain about that.

I'll give you death magnetic was a step back to good music

Between the buried and me
Protest the hero
Scale the summit
Explosions in the sky
Roger creager
Necrophagist

btbam has been so self indulgent for so long it's kind of hard to keep enjoying them, plus nothing they've made is as good as silent circus

PTH is amazing and they were awesome when I saw them live in February

Btbam fell of after colors


Colors



Colors






Haunts my fucking life


I've listened to that album almost 1500 times start to finish and love it more every time. I can hum every note in ants of the sky (where my band name comes from) and white walls



And pacific myth is playing right now. Did you like volition?

I saw them a couple of times in the 90's and they put on awesome shows back then too, glad they're still going hard in their old age.

I agree, I did enjoy great misdirect a bit but it wasn't as good as colors and I think their last consistently good album was colors. My favorite happens to be silent circus

I love everything PTH has done, they're one of my favorites. They've managed to wow me somehow in every record

IMO the best song they've made is c'est la vie

lars was great last night.

Watched a video of One via Blabbermouth a min ago and he didn't even do the double bass breakdown. Just some lame ass single kicks. Like that is what the song is fucking known for. I can't get on board with that and support such laziness. Stop being lazy and fucking practice. There are bands who have been around just as long and play their shit how it's meant to be played.

I saw them live back in 2010, arena section. My legs hurt after standing around for like 5 hours straight, but it was fun. Mastodon opened for them, too.
