Ok, so who saw Metallica last night and how was it??

flatfourfan

I reckon that they all (with the exception of Robert) have lost a bit over the years and as Lars said on the N24 interview, they don't really make mistakes, cause the songs are theirs and they can play them any way that they see fit....lol.

I did notice that Kirk was a tad sloppy, but I don't think that it took away anything from the show as a whole and I still personally think that James Hetfield is probably one of the best frontman...........period. (crowd interaction, ability with vocals and guitar is still right up there).

They deserve the huge fan base that they have as they have one HELL of a stage presence.

Cleric

Fully agreed. Didn't detract from the show one bit for me, just kinda interesting to actually see a guitarist lose a touch of his edge with age.

Cleric wrote Absolutely amazing show, and I echo all the good things said above. But tell me that someone else noticed that Kirk has gotten a bit... sloppy? And relying on his Wah as a crutch WAY too much?

Since roughly 1984.

flatfourfan

the first person to say bring back Mustaine will be klapped.......

sharonzaz

show me another player that wrote so many riffs that ended up
being the ''i want to learn it'' riff for so many ppl.

he can get sloppy, he dont need to impress no one.

im sure the show was great, glad they kicked ass!

Hammeron

Bring back Mustaine.
No, hang on a minute, then no Megadeth.
{Shoot, imagine that. Metallica with the Ginger Winja, eish!}

Tokai-SA

No ones discussed what amps they were using, is that because the amps weren't visible on stage? ...the amps along with racks and racks of additional gear, cabs and mics were hidden off stage. ?

Nothing on stage besides the 4 of them, guitars and a drum kit.

Metallica are not slayer.lol.

Here's an older rig rundown on James and Kirk on youtube. Cant be too old as Kirk is already on Randall amps.

Stubbs

Is there going to be a DVD or soundboard recording (like for the Chili Peppers)?

Tokai-SA

I don't know what they've used on previous shows, but for this show they had H&K Tri-Amps, Mesa Boogies and Marshalls.
It's anyone’s guess what and when they used the different amps, as long as it sounded good then 'nothing else matters'. ?

Should be. Metallica record and upload all of their live shows to their website, their first Cape Town performance was uploaded way back when.

Mustaine would of added a dimension to Metallica reckon...but then no megadeath....

Joburg show can be pre-ordered so long. I think I might actually get it.

sharonzaz

we had a thread not long ago about sex drugs and r'r..

flatfourfan

Oh man that was a hoot..........good find. The guy doing the interview was just blunt enough to be funny..................."the MYTH of rock and roll"...good one.

It's true though I have to admit, cut out the booze and fast life and you get so much more focus. That night in JHB, I swear that Metallica could have done another set no problem.

Attila

so where that strip club again ? ?

saw them both heaps of time o/s...
i wouldnt waste my time here in RSA...
megadeth always won... hand down,regardless which other guitarist they used
Their Gigantours were good as well
If metallica never played old songs pre black era,there would not be anybody there 'cept Belibers

As a rule I avoid alcohol at live events. I really cannot see why anyone would want to watch any show that they've paid for drunk?
But last night in JHB was bloody good!!!!

Too true unfortunately...
Reason been ? partly to music isolation with reference to huge gigs of popular artists with juvenile folowing...?
Id like to say... it'll wear out eventually...20 years on now....it hasnt

In saying that.RSA drink and drive laws are flawed and unregulated...
100% no tolerance would be preferred..
I blame the Taxi industry for that really....who uses a taxi in RSA ?Its cheaper to get a front row seat at the gig..LOL
which I would extend to cell fones and driving....sh#t ive seen metro cops doing it...come on..?
strangely this lawlessness attracts me,which might explain to why im still here...LOL
