   Great Concert
  hey guys, 08.03 was my birthday and i went to the Metallica concert, just have to say it was killer.Mudvayne- pretty good, they only did a twenty minute set.Def Tones- pretty good, the lead singer was so messed up he fell down twice.Linkin Park- i had no idea how good these guys were live, IMO they stoled the show and im not even a big fan of LP.Limp Bizkit - as always Bizkit was awesome. The pit got pretty bloody during Rollin and Break Stuff. Fred Durst was yelling "kill somebody in the pit mf''ers!!", and people were going for it hardcore.Metallica- They were really good, the new Bassist adds alot of energy to their performance and fits right in to the rest of the band. I didnt realize it but i share a b-day with James Hetfield so he was going on and on about his 40th b-day which was pretty lame. During Enter Sandman the rest of the band and his crew charged him and hit him in the face with pies and spray on confetti. They played a bunch of Kill em All, and a bunch of Ride the Lightning, they played about 4 songs from the new album. It was pretty cool seeing some of the really young peeps that came to hear Saint Anger get blown away by For Whom the Bells Toll.Anyway, if this concert comes to your town id have to say go for it, Linkin Park is really incredible live, they come off alot stronger than they do over the radio and Metallica is just what you think they will be.  
  Metallica has been and will remain a great band, but if you ever got to see them back in the early 90s in concert and then compare it to now you may very well see a difference in overall energy they put out.

In fact, I know I don''t (but I don''t want to be a downer on your good time.)If you like hard rock / metal, you might be interested to know Queensryche, Dream Theater, and Fates Warning are touring the US together.I saw QR in London and it roxored my boxors. If DT was there with them... gadzooks!Metal Tour Information.Look out for In Flames, too. They are fantastic on their albums (and I hear they are great live too.) ;  Ya, In Flames is amazing live.  I saw them about a month ago, was a really small place and they were soo loud.  I''m amazed at the singers ability to scream like a gremlin for so long and do it well, heh.  Unfortunately, they only play the super heavy stuff live, none of the cool acustic melodies that are on the albums.Had to miss out on Metallica when they came, a lot of my friends went though.  I also missed out on dream theater when they came too, damn it! ;  When I saw metallica back in 199?, it was evident that Hetfield couldn''t sing and play the guitar at the same time.The tour they did when he had a broken arm (wrist/hand whatever) was great. ;  How can anyone like Limp Bizkit? Fred Durst is annoying, and NO I DON"T REALLY WANT A FUCKING PEPSI. /ARHGH ;  lol, i hear that from everyone RedSweater, "Fred Durst is a dick, he caused a riot at Woodstock II". I cant afford to judge bands by their personalities or their politics, none of them stand for the things i stand for, almost all of them advocate the exact opposite of the things i advocate, so i just listen to the music and see if i like it.Name that Band:"If you want to destroy my RedSweater, pull this string as i walk away. Watch me unravel ill soon be naked. Lying on the floor, ive come undone." ;  Some stupid weezer cover band? ;quote:Original post by flangazor  I have seen Metallica before.

I just saw DT/QR/FW in seattle the other day (August 2nd).  And all I have to saw is .. WOW.  Dream Theater is absolutely amazing, the show they put on was EPIC!  They played most of the songs off of Scenes from a Memory, and I was blown back.  Queensryche kicked ass too, I''m thinking about picking up Operation Mindcrime later today. ;  While on the topic of Metallica, I saw a music video for St. Anger. The song I heard on the video was a lot different than the one that I remember hearing. The one I heard was a nu-metally song that's only lyrics were liek "DEATH! DESTRUCTION! IN THE ... OF THE ...", but the one I heard in the music video was like "He doesn't get any respect" or soemthing like that. Can anyone clear that up for me? Maybe I watched the wrong video or something.
