Edit: seen acdc not Metallica live.  91 in Tinley Park IL and 2008 in Tampa.

Edit: edit: may not have been 91 lol must’ve been the 2000 or 2001.  Was reminiscing and realized they were in Chicago more than one and I was apparently 9 in 1991. So had to be the 2000 show.  I was 18 or 19. Must’ve been good, lol

Dude, that Metallica S&M CD is the best. My husband bought me the DVD of that concert for Christmas a few years ago and it's [BLEEP] to see the band with the orchestra behind them. I can't listen to the studio version of any of those songs because they pale in comparison.

In school, we used to make fun of many of the band kids.  But Metallica made those guys cool again. Pretty cool and innovative for a rock n roll/ heavy metal band.  Much respect to the Orchestra and the band for pulling that off and giving another generation more love for music.  All around it was brilliant.  

But Metallica got soft.  For that.. bye James and Lars. Sellouts!
