Flashback gig yet again today and yet another dream show I did get to see!
Why in hell would I go and see them live in 2019? Costing me hundreds of dollars when I got to see them back in their hey-day! I did find a Metallica fan blogging in Poland collecting every ticket stubs he can and he’s got one from these shows which was only coated $45.90 Aussie dollars, linked here if need a look? Metallica fans are totally insane so they will shell out whatever to see these grey hair old men play songs they wrote when they were young! I guess, I’m saying to me Metallica now are a total nostalgia live act even if they last few albums have gone number one worldwide but really does anyone what them to play the new-ish songs? Nope would be the honest short answer! I did read an interview recently with James and Lars saying they will never quit or stop the band until they drop dead, off course they’re having a go at Slayer for calling time on their band. Sorry to remind you James and Lars but a member of Metallica did drop dead Cliff Burton and you guys just continue business as usual in the 1980’s. So in my opinion your statement is total bullshit, I think unless both James and Lars or even Kirk drop dead together at the same time somehow they will keep going forever! I say Robert Trujillo should just hire a new singer, drummer, guitar player and keep Metallica going even after James, Lars and Kirk all are dead and gone as some kind-of bass player revenge or karma? OK, my little bonkers rant almost over but fuck me, stop saying dumb shit in interviews! Then again they’re metal heads and I shouldn’t be reading interviews. Anyway by now Metallica fans have found me and lynched, hung me in closest tree or light-post until I’m dead because I’m not saying very nice things about them!
Anyway when I was sixteen and did love them so much and I did get to see them live, it was on my birthday too so how wicked cool is that? Last month I did blog a late 90’s gig at the Perth Entertainment Centre but these would be my earliest shows I got to see at that same venue.
