I just got back, im sleeping at work tonight as its already 1145pm as I write this and I would have had to get up at 430am so its easier to just sleep in one of the spare control rooms.
The Datsuns got absolutely crucified, it was pretty funny, there were big chants of "Fuck off" and "Get off" and so on. Also, during the second song everyone around me started pissing themselves laughing, I turned around and everyone on the floor had their middle finger in the air, it was hilarious. Maybe you had to be there
The Datsuns are boring, all they do is play one riff for the whole song. I hate retro garage 70s rock. Why couldnt they be more like Iron Maiden or something?
Then there was an interminable wait for Metallica. OVER A BLOODY HOUR. I was so damn sore it wasnt funny and beginning to wonder why I came. But then FINALLY the intro tape started and I was 4 people from the front! But then halfway through the intro tape I realised I could not breathe and I had to try and move, it was pretty difficult. I finally got back a few people and could breathe (a little) and then... The intro to Blackened started! Yay, no Fight Fire With Fire!
I have no idea what it looked like from up in the seats, but down where I was it was like a fucking warzone, I managed to stay almost the entire set at a Slayer show at the front, here I lasted halfway through Blackened and it was either move or collapse, I wasnt in a very good way, Blackened rocked though!
The heat was ridiculous, it was hard to breathe down where I was, and I couldnt even sing along because of it. Well I could, but I dont think James heard me unless he was listening pretty hard. The crowd was singing along so loudly to everything I couldnt hear the band sometimes, it rocked, so much.
I cant remember the order of the setlist, but my friends, lend me your ears, for something beyond magical did happen. I saw the setlist from the Brissy show, so after One I figured it was just Sandman and 2 covers and thats it. And then...
THEY PLAYED MASTER OF FUCKING PUPPETS!
OH WAIT, IT WAS THE ENTIRE FUCKING SONG!
Im so tired and sore right now, tomorrow is going to suck, but tonight ruled
Of course, you guys do realise that (obviously) Metallica reads my posts, how else could you explain them adding Blackened and the full Master Of Puppets in the set? Coincidence? I think not.
I think I may have missed one or two songs, and they arent in order, but heres what I remember:
Blackened
Welcome Home (Sanitarium)
The Thing That Should Not Be
Frantic
Sad But True
Dirty Window
Harvester of Sorrow
One
Seek and Destroy
Nothing Else Matters
Creeping Death
Master Of Puppets
St. Anger
Whiplash
Enter Sandman
So What
Hit The Lights
