On Dec. 8 Paula and I went to the Metallica Concert in Sacramento for my xmas gift (Thank you Paula! <3).

Opening for them first was a band called Volbeat from Copenhagen, didn�t get to hear much of these guys cuz we were a little late due to traffic, and then we met up with my boss (who was � trashed already) for a few minutes before heading to our seats. We had lower level seats, about a dozen rows back from the floor, not bad at all, good view of everything. So we finally get to our seats and Volbeat was beginning their last song, which was a cover mix of Slayer�s South of Heaven and Raining Blood, it was sweet (obv cuz I�m a huge Slayer fan).

Next up was Machine Head, now I haven�t listened to these guys in years but I know they are pretty good and really heavy. They rocked out for about 45 minutes then did a tribute to Dimebag and played Fucking Hostile which I thought was really cool. (For those who don�t remember Dimebag was killed exactly 5 years ago on Dec. 8).

Now for the moment I�ve been waiting for, for a long time (No good/big bands play in Newfoundland, ESPECIALLY Metallica). The lights went out, the song from the beginning of Guitar Hero Metallica came on (I guess they play that when they enter a concert, obv why it�s in the game lol), the laser light show started and the crowd went nuts. It was awesome. Here is the set list from the concert:

1)<SPAN> </SPAN>That Was Just Your Life

2)<SPAN> </SPAN>The End of the Line

3)<SPAN> </SPAN>Creeping Death

4)<SPAN> </SPAN>Fuel

5)<SPAN> </SPAN>Fade to Black

6)<SPAN> </SPAN>Broken, Beat and Scarred

7)<SPAN> </SPAN>Cyanide

8)<SPAN> </SPAN>Sad But True

9)<SPAN> </SPAN>One

10)<SPAN> </SPAN>All Nightmare Long

11)<SPAN> </SPAN>The Day That Never Comes

12)<SPAN> </SPAN>Master of Puppets

13)<SPAN> </SPAN>Fight Fire with Fire

14)<SPAN> </SPAN>Nothing Else Matters

15)<SPAN> </SPAN>Enter Sandman (MrBlonde�s fav obv)

Then for the encore the came out and did a cover of Budgie�s Breadfan, then played Motorbreath. After that everyone was still going nuts, so they stayed on to play another song but they turned on the house lights so they could see the whole crowd. They played Seek & Destroy and dropped like 80 big ass black Metallica beach balls into the crowd. People were trying to catch them to keep them and shit, one person would grab the ball over his head trying to get it down from the crowd�s hands and someone else would punch it into the air from behind, this happened about 20 times, lol. People were popping the balls and deflating them so they could keep them. Then they started throwing out guitar picks and drum sticks and shit, they stayed behind after the last song for about 20 minutes going around waving and saying hello to everyone still left in the arena.

The lights and pyro effects were pretty sweet too, when the big fireballs would go off on stage, we could immediately feel the heat on our faces from about 150 feet away!

The only song I told Paula I would be disappointed if I didn�t hear was Master of Puppets, and they didn�t disappoint. The crowd was totally into it too. MASTER!!! MASTER!!!

My ears were ringing and my throat was sore for almost 24 hours after the concert, but I had a great time. Would definitely like to see them again if they came back I think.

fmxer isn't real

I am a figment of everyone's imagination...

but yes thank you, I'm actually on my 2nd job right now, still looking to improve of course lol

go back to your dungeon bitch

n00dz?

yeah i guess i wouldn't shake his hand though (there was obv some history, just due to the first OT league shit) but i kinda feel bad. he wasn't an asshole or anything, i was drinking and obv hold grudges, but i don't think he cares, and he is ok in my book. (i also met one of gidder's friends that night, which is way more drama lololol)

filthy brag re having sideburns immfo. (if u read between the lines I mean)

I love Metallica but I think it's lamesauce that they play the same setlist basically every night. Mix in a breath Larsy...

Great review! They'll be in Jalisco, Mexico on March 1st. Hopefully I get a chance to go.

There's a big difference between making fun of people/giving them a hard time for the stupid shit they like and wishing harm upon someone. I've never wished harm or an awful, incurable disease befall anyone on this website.

"Rap Star Wannabe"? Is that what they call people with multiple degrees these days? Hmmm....I wonder if my wannabe rap career will coincide with my day job as a portfolio manager. Hope not.

But I'll make a one time exception here: I hope your wife is hit by a car and killed on her way home from work today, and if I were irrational enough to believe in god, I'd pray for it to happen.

well that would assume that i do work, but i will try my hardest to get hit, though i don't do any high speed driving on city streets, so this will be a tough one.

you are a fucking retard. who gives a shit what kind of music people like? if you don't like metallica, then don't fucking open a thread that has a review for it. i asked him to post it because blonde and afink asked me for a review, and i figured since fmxer knows all this shit, he better write it. i guess you feel better about yourself because you made fun of people who listen to metallica. and i will continue the love and hope you catch bird flu ass well.

Damn, I'm jealous. One of my favorite all-time bands and I've yet to see them live. Glad you had fun man!

I've never really been the biggest Metallica fan, but I did get a chance to see them at Summer Sanitarium Tour in 2000 in St. Louis.

I was pleasantly suprised by how good they were in concert. I would even go see them again.
