Metallica, Marlay Park '09

The Frayed Ends

Hearing Turn the page was brilliant. One of my favourite covers,

Was also great to hear Harvester of Sorrow :pac:

yes it always is. you can say what you like about metallica but the shows are always enjoyable and the atmosphere is always great! here are some of the pics i got for anyone interested.

Anna Molly

^ awh wow, great pics! [:
My camera was in my gran's house so I don't have any!:(
Do you have to be a metclub member to get the concert downloads? I take it that you do but.......;)

Whiplash

anyone can buy em. but i will wait til it can be otained my other means lol. Thanks. got tones more but not gonna post em all, that would be overkill!! They arent my best piccys though. my best in regards to concerts were taken at whitesnale and def leppard. basically because i was right in front of the stage and didnt really need the zoom!

The Frayed Ends

Haha wasn't me. I was queing from seven that morning [I have hardcore friends] so I was not standing at a barrier all day, hell no. I'd a lovely view from the grass!

lucky you! next time i may make it to the pit. i wish being a metclub member would garauntee you pit passes. or when doing a metclub presale for gigs give clubbers an option of maybe paying an extra fiver or tenner to get pass with ticket.

Anna Molly

I do not agree with the whole fan club shennanigans, tbh.
I know most people that join it do it for the meets, but the thought to me of paying extra to be a "fan" just isn't right.

All the bands that I have met, not once did I pay to do so..
I may have worked for a record label but...

Whiplash

ah well you do raise a good point. i joined the fan club for the cool t shirts lol. what bands have you met?

Anna Molly

Corey Taylor [oooooh yeah] &Jim.
Wednesday 13, multiple times.
Trivium [whoooope.....:rolleyes:]
In Flames
Manson AND Dita Von Tease....rawr!
Iron Maiden
36 Crazyfists [:
Five Finger Death Punch
Dragonforce
Bloodsimple [:

I'm leaving out heaps but i'll edit as I remember

Whiplash

sweet joysus christ on a moped! wow

Anna Molly

As I said, Paying is ridic.
However, my friend won a meet last year, still hasnt stopped talking about it. I've never heard of anyone meeting Metallica by chance.

Whiplash

no i doubt you would catch any of them out and about. not in ireland anyway. Rob flynn of machine head is a guy you have a chance of bumbing into.

Anna Molly

I have to admit, when I saw him walking up the stairs, I did get weak at the knees. He's an image from childhood, ya know. Rob Flynn, metal master. Right there! Holy smoke!
They were all really nice actually, Dave liked my boots, ha.

Whiplash

where did you meet them?

mantom

I'm glad someone put up all the songs (just audio) on Youtube.

Oh, and I was looking through my pics and vids yesterday from the gig, and I found this:
