crappy. I tried for tix to the thursday show, couldnt get thru on the phone, and already had tix to vynle cafe friday, so didnt go, guess I didnt miss much. I saw them for the black album which was in the round at the dome, and the sound was decent. doest compare to priest or heaven and hell though.

We were pretty excited to see Metallica in Calgary on Friday night, but were bitterly disappointed. Now, I'm no rookie when it comes to concerts, as that was my 45th one -- one for each year I've been alive, and that includes seeing Priest (only) 5 times. But, I am so sorry to say Metallica sucked.
Their set-up to sell *all* the seats, with no back-stage and play closer to the middle of the arena must have had something to do with absolutely terrible sound quality, and they played a shitty, shitty, set-list. Don't know if it was b/c it was their second night of sold-out shows in town, but it was NOT good.
Maybe Hetfield needs to start drinking again, to get some inspiration. There was no 'style', no cohesiveness in their show. It was just separate guys doing their thing. It lacked something important. I wanted to be "wowed", believe me, I did ... But when people left during the first song of their "encore", I guess I was not the only one who may have felt that way. I was just kind of shocked.
We came out to the RV and cranked JP for all to hear how it was supposed to be done -- and to feed our unsatisfied souls with real music. I just can't think of the last time we were that disappointed with a band's performance.
Judas Priest raises the bar, and has spoiled me for any other metal band. Colley asked me to quote him as saying, "The more bands I see, the better Priest is."
Ok, now you can let the rotten tomatoes fly ... Sorry. |

HI BACK ....IT'S SNOWING AND BLOWING HERE  ...NO BIG DEAL IT'S DECEMBER RIGHT?...
UNFORTUNATE ABOUT METALLICA,BUT WHAT CAN YOU DO?...I MANAGED TO TAKE IN METALLICA MANY YEARS AGO,FUNNY THING IS,I DIDN'T THINK THEY SOUNDED ALL THAT GREAT LIVE THEN...I LIKE THEIR ALBUMS,BUT MAYBE LIVE ISN'T THEIR BEST PRODUCT,SOME BANDS ARE LIKE THAT...ANOTHER BAND THAT COMES TO MIND IS MEGADETH,I LIKE THEIR STUDIO STUFF,BUT LIVE?...NO...GOOD TO KNOW THOUGH.

I really hate to say it (I know, I'm going to hell...), but 'Save your Money'. Especially in this day and age. Save it to see Priest ... twice...
Oh boy, well, mostly they played shit from their new album, which pales in comparison to "Nostradamus" -- so I can only hope Priest gets their due at the Grammies. I have a thought, "the bands should be forced to play live to get an award". Priest would win, hands down. It's obvious (at this show anyway... but the Saddledome has had pretty good sound compared to a lot of other venues I've been to across the country), that the recording studio does Metallica a lot of favours they can't get away with on stage.
Whatever songs they 'did' play that people were waiting for, was indistinguishable -- and even I got lost at times! It was a garbled mess. They played something of Master 'o Puppets, but a lot of the stuff I had gone to hear was not played. Colley, who just loves the 'idea' of a concert and will always find some reason to like it, was "Did we just see a concert? That was Metallica?" Poor guy was never more disappointed, but never more proud to be a Priest fan.
We tried converting some pedestrians in the parking lot with our JP music -- guess we'll find out in the spring if the RV has blown speakers, or not... Some young kid broke from the crowd and came running up to us, yelling "I saw Priest last year! They were awesome!" We told him of our trip to Vegas, etc. and I'll bet his eyes weren't that bright and excited during the concert that he had just seen.
I just hate being the bearer of bad news...  |

Quite frankly WW, I am not at all surprised. There are so many bands that continue to play well passed their "prime". Priest is one of the few that still "have it". I saw Aerosmith a couple years ago and came away incredibly disappointed. Same thing when I saw Ozzy back in the late 90's/early 2000's...just awful. Not saying that this was the general consensus, but it was terrible for me.
I am not sure if it is as you say, that they sacrifice sound for seating space, or if they just do not care anymore, but there really is something to be said for a band to play together for twenty or thirty years and be able to play with feeling and "togetherness", as you put it. That kind of emotion really comes out in the music. All the musicians among us can really understand what I am saying. The passion for the music is easy to hear, and it is very easy to hear when it is missing.
