Maybe if I just get in line extra extra early so that I can lock myself to the barricade in the front. Although then there's the risk of being crushed, too. Ah, the risks of going to a concert.

| | | Vaillant 3.0 wrote: | | Yes!!!! Only weird thing will be not seeing the rest of Judas Priest. No Glenn, Ian, Scottie, KK. It'll be interesting to see see how the Metal God performs with his solo band compared to Judas Priest.
| | | Becks wrote: | | Oh man I bet you're excited! You'll have a blast I bet!
| | | Vaillant 3.0 wrote: | | Hell yeah!!! First Halford concert EVER!! 
| | | Becks wrote: | | Awesome! I'm jealous lol, seeing Halford live will be kickass!
| | | Vaillant 3.0 wrote: | | Ha! I'd have to see it for myself...maybe the next time they come around and have a concert in NorCal I'll go see them.
Oh! And speaking of concert, guess what arrived in the mail...my ticket to see Halford in Anaheim!!! 
| | | Becks wrote: | | Yeah it's definitely I'd say the most well known Metallica song, I like it too. Tell you what, Lars is a madman on his drums LOL he's like an energetic midget person hehe.
| | | Vaillant 3.0 wrote: | | That's probably the most popular Metal song out there. Hell, before hearing about Judas Priest I knew about Enter Sandman for a while. It's a good tune. I probably would have cheered for The Four Horsemen or Whiplash, if they played those at all.
| | | Becks wrote: | | Haha possibly! Enter Sandman got the biggest cheer I believe. I yelled out first and loudest for Master of Puppets.
| | | Vaillant 3.0 wrote: | | Dang...and all this time I thought they were from SoCal. Good to know!
That guy must have been either a noob or just a casual fan. Maybe before that concert the only song he knew from Metallica was Enter Sandman. HA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
| | | Becks wrote: | | Yep they're from the Bay Area - there was a well known bootleg EP out called Bay Area Thrashers, with recordings from when Dave Mustaine was still in the band. I only said 'proper' fan cos I couldn't think of how I wanted to put what I meant, LOL!!!
| | | Vaillant 3.0 wrote: | | "Bay Area"?? I thought they were from L.A!
Huh...interesting...unless they did something overthere I've never heard before. Other than that, cool review!
| | | Becks wrote: | | It was, LOG was average, I don't like the way the signer does his thing LOL all that growly can't really tell what he's saying stuff.
So here's a mini review of Metallica finally, after a busy few days lol! They opened with two tracks from Death Magnetic, which were pretty good, but for me the highlight was For Whom the Bell Tolls. Other oldies they played included Seek and Destroy, One, And Justice for All, Master of Puppets. The special effects they had were excellent - my friend and I were a fair way back in the seated area (with a good view) and could feel the heat coming off the flames they had occasionally. There was heaps of lasers and other nifty stuff, and coffin shaped lighting rigs that moved around. Plenty of idiots at the gig too, and plenty of people who were there just cos it was Metallica. Reason I could tell this with one dude is as follows - as anyone who has been a 'proper' fan of Metallica would know, the Bay Area thing pops up often. One of the t-shirts at the merch cart had Bay Area on it. A young dude (maybe 17?) was standing next to me and said 'Ba area??? What's that? I don't think it's Bat Area??' then someone finally explained to him it was Bay Area. Hmmm, lol. Anyways, the gig was great, the best bits involved the oldies, but overall it was worth the money and I am glad I went. Seen as Craig missed out I bought him a tour shirt and posted it to him
