Metallica-Verdict

Great concert, wasn't it. Didn't seem like they'd play whiskey, but they did.
Thought Lostprophets were good, though I'd say most people would disagree. Don't like slipknot, but I thought they put on a good show.

did metallica ritually sacrifice 'the crab' bassist of thiers? Then all die horribly when lars' ego swelled to gargantuan proportions causing his drum riser to topple over and crush the remaining memebers to death? Cause thats what id call a good metallica gig. At least id pay to see that.
Im sorry im just annoyed with seeing all these fucking clones walking around town all day in thier metallica T's, not realising that metallica are now the ultimate symbol of corporate cock suckage, and by supporting such a band, are themselves being fished in, paying 60 euro a ticket so lars can buy his diamond shoes and produce more horrible, godawful, piss poor, fuck bollocks albums like stanger, all the while pissing on the memory of metallica when they were a good band and roping in more wee little kiddie winkies by getting hip new cool support bands like lostprophets, cause yeah man! Theyre so hip and with it and by comparison make metallica look hip and with it. WAKE UP. METALLICA ARE THE ULTIMATE IN CORPORATE COCK SUCKING SELL OUT SOULLESS FUCKSTICKS. Its a fuccking shame they all werent killed in that bus crash, at least then they wouldve went out before they could sell out.

krattapopov · 25-06-2004 11:49PM

No but I soon will be !!!

Went to see them last year and they sucked big big big time. They play the exact same set-list at every gig, and say the same things at the same time of each gig.

Did anyone ever see the Spinal Tap episode of the Simpsons?

"Good evening... Springfield"

Sellouts.

krattapopov · 25-06-2004 11:54PM

i went with a guy who was at the gig last year, said this year was much better.... had to add that

Devilman · 26-06-2004 12:26AM

They play the exact same set-list at every gig

erm...take it you havent seen the setlists from the last 6 months worth of gigs then........ :rolleyes:

Been to see them every time since 92.. and been to the UK a few times aswell. I have to say tonight was a great show.. if that makes me a sheep ..meh like I care

SirLemonhead · 26-06-2004 12:28AM

I got in for free

and it wasn't that great.

0utshined · 26-06-2004 12:47AM

Damn, ye don't waste time reviewing a gig, I'm only in the door from it.

I missed Lost Prophets and most of Slipknot because of traffic so I can't really comment on them.

All in all I think it was a good gig, not their best but a good one nonetheless. I've given up on their albums and thought the new songs were the weakest part of their set. They're alright, but not good Metallica songs.

The highlight for me had to be hearing Blackened and Master of Puppets blasting out over the speakers. They played for over 2 hours as well so there was a lot of classics to be heard.

Overall I'd give it a 7/10.

funky penguin · 26-06-2004 08:10AM

So what if they're sell outs?

Buck Owens · 26-06-2004 03:19PM

I though it was an amzing show. Better than last year:D all 2+ hours of it. I agree with Funky Penguin,so what if they're sell outs, they seem to know what they're fans what to hear live only 2 songs of St.anger. They could just tour for the rest of their careers and people would keep seeing them.

Slipknot were enteraining but the sound was siht for them. I wish I could have being up the front for Spit it out and the Jump the Fcuk up part, felt sorry for mick just playing the same riff over and over again so corey was trying to set it up,missed lostprofets,sorta feel sorry for them after Ozzfest and the recepition they got there

Ronan|Raven · 26-06-2004 06:28PM

Didnt bother goign to see the two supporting acts so we stayed drinking. Was a very enjoyable day out. Pretty happy withthe selection of songs they played. Fade to black was great to hear as always. Seemed to be a much easier going atmosphear compared to last year. Maybe it was due to it not being as full?

Had a great time there with me mates as we managed not to loose one another as always. Few drinks, some good songs. An enjoyable day out.

*edit* anyone have an idea of the exact setlist that was played.

IamMetaldave · 26-06-2004 08:02PM

I thought Lostprophets were amazing!! What a band... I didnt see the dickheads that threw ****, If I did I would have thrown a bottle in their face! What a pile of **** doin that to a band... but anyways, Ive seen Metallica play better before, Slipknot... average..

Hal1 · 26-06-2004 08:04PM

Good gig, got there about 6pm and saw about 40mins of slipknot they are a crazy bunch of mofo's

first time to see them. My second time to see metallica last time i saw them was in '93 (..was it '93?) anyway I enjoyed it, good atmosphere and a nice couple of pints €5 a pint was pricey enough. But overall it was worth it.

Ancient1 · 26-06-2004 08:19PM

I thought it was much better than last year (not that last year's gig was bad) - and the setlist was good too.
I was surprised to hear Holier Than Thou - i dont think i've ever heard/seen them play that one live.

andrew163 · 26-06-2004 09:01PM

absolutly amazing concert. started to lose interest in metallica for a while there but now i worship them again as music-gods...

again again..again again...

got to see some of my best friends from belfast who i almost never see there too ...which made the whole thing even better

dregin · 26-06-2004 09:08PM

I thought Metallica were excellent. Slipknot were the same as when I saw the in Leeds....lost. The sound was terrible for them IMO. Really like their ST album, but they just can't do it live

sepia · 26-06-2004 10:33PM

only reason the sound was lost for slipknot is because it was outdoor and they can't play louder than the main act(I've noticed this before). The volume for metallica went up as soon as they came on. Then again I bet as soon as you hear them indoors it'd be a different story.
i loved it, really enjoyed it. thats what its all about in the end isn't?

therecklessone · 26-06-2004 11:01PM

Just to show there's nowt queer as folk...

I thought it was poor compared to last year. The sound was awful for long periods of the show, and I thought the band looked tired.

I can forgive the set "banter", its understandable when you're playing a choreographed show like that, but you can't forgive what I though was lazy playing.

Left for the start of the encore, didn't see the point of hanging round for the cliche of Whiskey...

dimerocks · 26-06-2004 11:09PM

that gig ****en ruled, far better than last partially because lostprophets were very very funny, and because slipknot were great, impressed me enough to take back everything i ever said bad about them.metallica did a great show, ****ing awesome.
i think they have earned the right to sell-out all they want, it doesnt change the fact that they made brilliant music andplay it well, put on a good show.
the chilis are the ultimate sellouts and i will forever wonder how they are so popular being such a limited bad monotonous band.and they keep coming back here because they know stupid ****ers who are casual music liteners will go and see them.

c0rk3r · 26-06-2004 11:12PM

good gig. didnt like lost prophets but they were good enough to play through the critisism of the crowd. All those fu*kers throwing bottles really piss me off.

Slipknot where good , not great , but put on a good live show. I liked when sid took of the plain mask to reveal the skeletal mask and at the end of Spit it Out when everyone sat down then jumped up , arrogent people that didnt annoyed me.

Metallica where great , enjoyed when they played some of the lesser known songs , the kids in the pit with their parents didnt know what was going on. Loved Robs solo , excellent bassist. particulary liked when it broke into orion. hated Hammits useless solo's (wish he would stop hiding behind a wah pedal).

in all a good gig, specially when i caught 2 of robs plecs (wonders why he has them since he plays with his hands, must just be for show)

[CALIBUR] · 27-06-2004 02:27AM

thank god I missied the lost prophets and just came in time for the start slipknot. it was great gig but I have massive hangover from drink....

NightStrike · 27-06-2004 12:03PM

Great gig. Wasn't too pushed on going seeing as I saw them last year but really glad I did now.

How amazing were Fade to Black and No Leaf Clover!?

Placebo · 27-06-2004 01:08PM

I thought Lostprophets were amazing!! What a band... I didnt see the dickheads that threw ****, If I did I would have thrown a bottle in their face! What a pile of **** doin that to a band... but anyways

i nearly did, i felt their performance was so much better but i couldnt here the vocals in the pit well at all.
If the sound was good then id reckon it would have been great

evad_lhorg · 27-06-2004 03:00PM

Thatb concert was miles better than last year(althouh i loved the darkness).

Got there at about 10 and had to hop the gates to get in and get my pit pass:D then we left and smoked a few in the park. me and mates went in at about half 3 and sat in the pit. did anyone see that guy tryingto run in and the security running after him? they tripped him. was brilliant.

Lost prophets: they were really goood. i heard they were **** live from a friend but they were brilliant. they didnt deserve that abuse, at least it wasnt as bad as linkin park's abuse they got. the band got a kick as mosh goin for shinobi vs dragon ninja.

Slipknot: the pit was fairly packed for them. I was expecting a really good show but they kinda were a dissappointment, they didnt hav long enough and they didnt really play the best choice of songs. the best bit by far was when they got everyone to sit. everyone in the pit did except the people on the barriers. then once he said 'jump the f*uck up!' the whole pit was a proper pit. that was the only time ive seen an entire pit going mental. it was brilliant

Metallica: they were miles better than last year. the sound was perfect from the back right hand side of the pit. the set list was miles better than last years. blackened was a brilliant opener. hearing no leaf clover and fade to black was amazing. one of the best bits i thought was moving from the quiet nothing else matters into master of puppets. sounded brilliant. whiskey in the jar kicked so much ass.

all in all a good gig. the only dissappointment for me was slipknots sound and the setlist. they were still good though

derrylahan · 27-06-2004 06:08PM

i thought the gig was great first time seeing slipknot. thought they were good, only thing was the sound was crap, i could barely hear micks guitar.

best part for me was during lost prophets when me and the drummer of my band 'exp' started shouting EXP and a few people joined in untill my bands rivals 'heretic' started shouting heretic and they lifted me up and sent me crowd surfing which i enjoyed.

does anyone remember the exact set list for slipknot?
and does anyone have pics or sound of the concert?

evad_lhorg · 27-06-2004 07:12PM

i dont really know slipknot too well but I KNOW they played the following

Surfacing
wait and bleed
spit it out
disasterpiece
heretic anthem
duality
the blister exists

they could have played people = s*hit but im not too sure what that goes like. and i think they started with (sic) cause thy had the 742617000027 thing playing as they came out on stage.

niallith · 27-06-2004 07:56PM

couldnt go

lack of money, am soo pissed that i couldnt cause ppl sayin it was better than last year which kiked ass, did they say theyl b coming back at all ?????????
