I don't think on either night I went, there was one person who seemed disappointed when it was over... People wanted them to keep playing on Wednesday night. Half of us were still down by the stage when the guards told us we had to leave. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mister foozel 0 Report post Posted October 23, 2004 Just got back!!! Oh my god, was that awesome in every way. First, the Meet and Greet: Got to meet all 4 (one at a time), and they took some time with each person to sign, take a picture and chat. I got all 4 to sign my St. Anger cd case (Rob and Kirk on the front, James and Lars on the inside), and my white 2001 Metclub T-shirt. Rob was up first, and shorter than I thought he'd be but with HUGE arms. I asked him if he remembered making "Degradation Trip" with Jerry Cantrell, and he said he did and it was awesome. I asked what Jerry's up to, and he said he's finally gotten himself healthy because he was in rough shape (didn't know this! ) and he's ready to make new music. He struck his crazy metal horn pose with me, and I thanked him. Kirk was next up, and as he signed St. Anger, I said the only that would make it better would be some Kirk Hammet solos, he said: "next album, I promise." Sweet. I also joked with him about their recent appearence on The Jane Pauly show, (Kirk showed her how to play a powerchord on a guitar at the end), and I asked if she's joining the band, and he said "maybe as a backup singer". James was next and he is larger than life. I'm a short person and he's pretty tall, but his whole presence is just huge. He was very nice though, and I asked him about the Presideo recordings they did before they recorded St. Anger that I heard would be released as a soundtrack to the Some Kind Of Monster movie, but he said they decided they shouldn't be released that way and they need to stand on their own. I said I'd love to hear them some day, to hear the outtakes, but he quickly corrected "they're not outtakes, they're full songs", so I commented I liked the song "Temptation" that plays in the movie, and he said he "loved" that one. Lars was last and of course made us wait (we could have caught Godsmack if he didn't take so long!) but once he came in he was all smiles and very nice to everyone always making eye contact and asking everyone how they were. I asked if there were any suprises on tonight's setlist and he said "oh yeah, there's one suprise", which got me quite excited (ended up being The God That Failed), and told him I'd be at the show in Philly on Tuesday, so to play lots of new and different songs that day, so he started joking "ok, just for YOU! We'll play different songs for you". Amazing that it all passed so quickly, but definitely on awesome experience. Arrived just at the end of Godsmack's set, so I can't really comment on them. Metallica though was flat out unbelievable. This is my third time seeing them and it was by far the best. They just had so much energy on the stage it was unreal. The setlist was awesome too, maybe the best they've ever played. They played for a long time too, and after Enter Sandman when they were just throwing out picks and it looked like it was over, a lot of people cleared out, then all of a sudden they start jamming again and James starts making fun of the "people who went to their cars to beat the traffic. You can't get rid of Metallica that easy!" and they busted out Disposable Heroes and Seek and Destroy as encores. Excellent show, had an amazing time. I can't wait to develop the pictures. Here's the setlist: Blackened Fuel Sad But True No Leaf Clover Ride The Lightning The Unforgiven The God That Failed St. Anger I Disappear Creeping Death Fight Fire With Fire -------- Fade To Black Nothing Else Matters Master Of Puppets One Enter Sandman -------- Disposable Heroes Seek And Destroy FUCK THATS A WICKED SETLIST fade to black AND seek and destroy fade to black is my favorite metallica song, oh well maybe next time i see em Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

UseTheSledgehammerUh 0 Report post Posted October 24, 2004 My friend let me know that the 2nd show in Philly was absolutely awful. I last saw them at Vets Stadium last summer and feel it was their best show ever. I was surprised to hear of his dissapointment. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Styles 0 Report post Posted October 24, 2004 ^Kill the street teamer Hey, you can look at it as another money making venture (it is, and its brilliant) but you can also look at it as a very cool idea. I mean, I know I wish I had soundboard quality recordings of all concerts I've attended! So, really it's just an a heads up to the people in this thread who might want to buy their show...

2GOLD 0 Report post Posted October 25, 2004 Yeah, I bought it for my gf since I felt bad she missed the show. Now she can listen to it while bored at school. Obviously I'm keeping a copy for myself but it wasn't horrible at 10 bucks at pop. Bout 21 mp3s so the price doesn't royally suck. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
