Huge production, it was a bit of a squeeze in there alright. And they did their encores with just a few '100w bulbs', after the burning roadie & collapsing lighting rig...

I remember it well. I was at the point in 92 as well, and preferred the 96 gig. Though, COC played a brilliant warm up show. f**king savage...
I thought the burning roadie was a bit hamish.....0 -

First started listening to Metallica when I was like 9 or 10. My brother had a taped version of the Black album. (Pirating from a young age)
I had been listening to Nirvana, RHCP, Soundgarden, Pearl Jam etc. I just lumped Metallica is with them and started writing their logo on my copies.
Then I drifted away from rock\metal as a typical teen girl. At 17 I descovered Load and kind of eased myself back into Metallica. It's a good rock album. My brother gave me the Kill Em All casette, I was blown away by the speed on Whiplash and the fact that they were so young and so amazing.
I was never keen on AJFA because it's was so hollow and too heavy. I was disturbed by the One video too, left quite the impression on me!
Reload is ok I guess. Not memorable. St. Anger is useless. So is Death Magnetic.
Ride The Lightning is my favourite Metallica album because some of MoP is just too fast, heavy and unmelodic. I didn't like that they played it all during the anniversary concert in RDS. It was just to much.
By 18 I was a fully fledged, pink haired metal head (thanks metallica!). I recorded all the Metallica videos and live shows off MTV. My favourite is a live performance of Garage Inc. (Roseland Ballroom NYC) That's one of my must-have albums. First time I heard Sabra Cadabra. Loved it (Hadn't ever heard the Sabbath version haha). I had all the Metallica albums at this stage and was obsessed.
First saw Metallica in 2003 RDS. Then again 2004, 2006 and 2009. I won't be going again because there's a sameness each year. I love their stage presence and crowd interaction . I love that I know Hetfield will shout "Oh yea..", he'll shout "Gimme an M, gimme an E gimme FUEL GIMME FIRE...", he'll sing "Scanning the scene out in DUBLIN tonight"
We'll all sing along to the guitar solos and shout DIE DIE with out fists in the air. We'll all dress up like the black army in layers of Metalllica merchandise.
*nostalgia*
That's the thing about Metallica. They're comfortable and familiar and you'll always go back to them. I'm a Guitar Hero fanatic and the Metallica version is just perfect metal fun. I'm 25 now hahah. I think they're over rated money grabbers that peaked a long time ago but I'll always love them.
My dream set list:
Seek and Destroy
Fuel
Creeping Death
Battery
Whiplash
For Whom the Bell Tolls
Master of Puppets
Sanitarium
Fade to Black
Nothing Else Matters
The Unforgiven
Enter Sandman
I Disappear (awaits stoning)
Sabra Cadabra
Loverman

You really don't rate Death Magnetic? IMO best album since Black.
Have you heard ...and Justice for Jason, it's the AJFA album remixed by a guy who added his own bass to it, sounds totally different.
I've seen them 25 times now, worst was Pukkelpop in Belgium, 97 i think, they were fcukin dire.
Best was either the secret gig on 2nd stage at Donington or Donington 2006 (the puppets anniversary tour)
Yea, I didn't like it. I couldn't get into it. None of the tracks hooked me. Can't even hum one off the top of me head. I should give it another chance but I didn't really like any of it that I heard in Marlay Park.
I downloaded it at same time as last Slipknot one, so that one took centre stage for me.
Haven't heard that album no, must check it out. Thanks man! 0 -

2 nights in Belfast, 1 in Dublin perhaps? That was supposed to be the case in 1993, although neither show got confirmed (they're on the original list of tour dates in the 'Live Sh*t...' tour programme).
They've not announced any British shows yet - and there's a lot of empty space in the schedule, I can't imagine them coming to Europe and not playing London, Birmingham, Manchester etc. Unless it's a 10 night residency at the Odyssey
