Sign in to disble this ad
Well, I had GA floor seats friday night (down in the mosh pit !?) for Metallica/Godsmack. What a show. The boyz were on. It was the 22nd anniversary of their first concert ever and Jaymz and the boyz did not disappoint. Godsmack was the shizzle as well. Usually I could take or leave Godsmack, but based on seeing them live, I'm now a fan.
Here's the good part of the evening. Took my 8yr old boy JT to see the show, they were GA floor, 1st come, 1st serve. We got there way early and were right up front at the rail, you couldn't be any closer without being on stage. My son was bangin and flashin' the devil sign @ Kirk during a solo. Kirk looks down sees him waves at him and flashes me a thumbs up.  How cool is that. During the next song he's back in front of us again, reaches up to the mike stand and pulls off a couple of picks. Hands them down to a security guy and points to Josh. The guy gives Josh the picks and Kirk flashes my boy a devil sign. "Awesome" was all I heard from is mouth , he was floored.. Later in the show I got him up on my shoulders and he got a high five from Jaymz. At the end of the show that same security guy reached up and grabbed a set list off the floor, a real gig set list off one of the vocal stations. How cool is that ? At one point in the show we saw the wives and some of the Metalli-kids onstage as well. So it was family night at the metallica show, LOL! It was cool though, they seemed to be very kid focused that night and my boy got the rewards. All in all he wound up with 2 picks from each "guitarist" including Robert, and a gig-used actual set list.
There were some hot chicks around eating it up. OOOOOww how cute, yada yada. One goes, "if you 2 get back stage, I'm his mother". LOL ! what a hoot. I couldn't have had a better night planned for him, it was perfect. It makes me feel good to know that I was able to give him an experience like that. He'll remember last night forever  |

Did they play Creeeping Death? | No Creeping Death. But we did get "fight fire w/fire". He only played the sig bass on 2 songs that I saw. Very cool looking, had sort of tattoo looking graphic paint job. Although it sure looked like it had a wooden neck ?! The cool thing was that my kid noticed the Zon logo on the headstock and says to me, "see that Dad, he has a Zon just like your 2". That kid is sharp, he doesn't miss a trick. He's been walking around the house for the last 2 days singing, "searchin'......Seek & Destroy" |

| | | They played 'Fight Fire With Fire'?! Lucky you. I love that song. I think it's really cool that after 23 years of being a band, they still kick ass. No signs of turning down the volume yet! 
Peace,

Peace,
Graeme | True, I've seen them on every tour in their history except for Ride the Lightning. They were as heavy and fast as I've ever seen them. No lie !

I'm going to get all that stauff mounted & framed along with an autographed pic I have. Sort of like you'd do to sports memorabilia stuff. That way he can hang it on his wall and have it forever.
PS, six picks. He even got 2 from Robert ?! He threw them down at the end of the show as they were all walking around handing out goodies.

Sooooooo much better then when I saw them last year at Nassau Col. | It seems like Robert is now more integrated into the unit. last summer they seemed forced and bit less tight than I've become accustomed to. But it's all good now for sure. |
