I don't know, but this year there are no concerts for germany, or are there any? I mean no festivals btw *g* So I won't see them propably, but I've seen them 2006 and it was really great.

Lucs · **Reply #2 on:** April 13, 2008, 07:01:47 PM

Well, I really wanted to go, but their show in Switzerland is like at the opposite part of the country (it's more a show for German people I guess lol) and the show in France is in the North of France... so no

I saw them in Paris in 2004 it was really great !!!

Oh, imagine...back in 2004 he had worse moments even. He has improved a bit, well, maybe it's just the sound of the drum kit. Maybe he should go back to those old big Tama kits he used to play. :twisted:

Well, no drum kits can stop his bass drums going off beat etc. it's up to his legs and arms to do that ;P

It's true, yes. Although, at least, it would sound better than the cans in St.Anger :lol:

kendofreak · **Reply #14 on:** June 03, 2008, 10:02:49 PM

i have to say, at least the new drums don't sound like pot lids!

yeah the last time he played here he couldnt play the bass pedal beats in Battery! but im there for Kirk James and Rob!

Menacia · **Reply #15 on:** June 12, 2008, 03:30:05 PM

Did anybody watch their rock am ring 2008 performance?
I just got my hands on it and all I can say is, it rocks. It's one of their best lives in the past couple of years. ^_^

kendofreak · **Reply #16 on:** June 12, 2008, 04:00:04 PM

yeah i saw it on MTV2! it was great! they sound great look great! and they played No Remorse which just made it ten times better!

My sister was at it! was so jealous!

Menacia · **Reply #17 on:** June 12, 2008, 06:21:24 PM

no remorse was cool!!
especially James' intro.

James: No
Audience: yeah
james: No
Audience: yeah
James: No Remorse!!!

kendofreak · **Reply #18 on:** June 12, 2008, 09:21:03 PM

woo!! i love the intro solo!

creeping death is probably my favourite live song, i love the extended "die" part!

Menacia · **Reply #19 on:** June 13, 2008, 09:50:01 PM

Creeping Death as an opener owns. Great opening!!
For me -apart from Sad But True and Enter Sandman - the best performance has got to be Bleeding Me. There is so much emotion in it and the harder part simply moves me.

kendofreak · **Reply #20 on:** June 14, 2008, 08:36:14 PM

yeah! Bleeding Me is great! quite a surprise when i first saw it on the setlists!

as long as they play the four horsemen, ...and justice for all, ride the lightening and creep i'll be happy!

Lucs · **Reply #21 on:** August 10, 2008, 09:50:11 AM

Heh heh heh.

Yeah, Lars ceartinly seems to have sorta been slacking recently. I'm sure he'll probably kick his game up during the tour for Death Magnetic though.

And damn it! No Toronto show. I'm sorta surprised, but hey, if the Death Magnetic tour is anything like the St. Anger tour, it'll last for about a year or so, so I'm sure there'll be a show in Toronto eventually.

Metallica is the band that made me fall in love with music and made me pick up an instrument, I wanna see 'em live at least once!

Aerce · **Reply #25 on:** August 12, 2008, 01:28:06 PM

Well, aaroni you can make anything sound good or tight in the studio. Heck.. they made even St.Anger sound at least somehow "good".

That doesn't mean that it's good live tho.. Lars is simply bad nowadays.

Lucs · **Reply #26 on:** August 12, 2008, 08:13:36 PM

New song on their MySpace : http://www.myspace.com/metallica !

Aerce · **Reply #27 on:** August 13, 2008, 12:03:38 PM

Man.. that song is pretty boring but I guess die hard fans like it.

Lucs · **Reply #28 on:** August 13, 2008, 12:13:33 PM

I'm not a die hard fan and I like it

It's just a matter of taste anyway !

Can't wait to get the new album !!!

Of course. I was just making my point about die hard fans.

Anyway, got to hear others songs before judging more..
