OMFG. Just in case there was any doubt - Metallica know how to rock!
Last night we went to see Metallica at Wembley (you can buy the gig or you can email me for it). We also heard a couple of support bands. First up was Machine Head (very loud, but too messy, their sound was just a big wash of growl and if there was a tune in there somewhere.... it got hidden!) and just before the main act was H.I.M. (appeared to have tunes but got booed off the stage - however their cover of Wicked Game by Chris Isaak was cool!).
Then it was show time. And what a show.
These guys have a wicked rapport with the crown (Mrs P was so blown away by that) and played most of the songs I wanted to hear. There was one track, one of the new ones, think it might have been The Memory Remains, James Hetfield got the crowd to sing the melody. Alone. For about 2 minutes straight. So loud. The band were so visibly stoked with the crowd response. It was a very powerful performance that lived up to everything I'd every hoped this band would be.
Here's the set list for you people who care about such things.
Creeping Death
For Whom The Bell Tolls
Sad But True
Disposable Heroes
The Unforgiven
...And Justice For All
The Memory Remains
The Four Horsemen
Orion
Fade To Black
Master of Puppets

Thanks to D and Mrs P for rocking with me, especially D who paid the price!
