METALLICA - Charlotte NC 10/18/09

Real quick:

GOJIRA - boring

LAMB OF GOD - boring

METALLICA - very tight, professional and energetic. Great light show, excellent sound. James came off very happy and thankful/appreciative of the crowd...very humble.

Here's the setlist:

That Was Just Your Life
The End Of The Line
For Whom The Bell Tolls
The Four Horsemen
One
Broken, Beat And Scarred
Cyanide
Sad But True
Turn The Page (Bob Seger cover)
The Judas Kiss
The Day That Never Comes
Master Of Puppets
Fight Fire With Fire
Nothing Else Matters
Enter Sandman

Encore:
Too Late, Too Late (Motörhead cover)
Phantom Lord
Seek And Destroy

Awesome!!!!!

Yeah, I was surprised at hearing "The Four Horsemen" and "Fight Fire With Fire"....that was killer.

And the new songs sound better in a live context w/ older material...much more intense live than on the album.

Very cool. Wonder why they didn't play anything from St. Anger?

I've seen Lamb of God twice now and was unimpressed by them. The last time I saw them was on Gigantour opening for Megadeth. They had a loooooong set and I was bored with them within the first half and hour. Their singer looked like a pip-squeek nerd bopping around stage acting like a tough guy, flipping off the audience. He was actually the weakest part of the band, as I though they had some decent riffs here and there. A few rifs reminded me of Slayer and Anthrax, but overall they just didnt' do it for me.

I feel the exact same way...hated the singer....he helped make them boring...thrash riff-breakdown-RROOWWRR-thrash riff-breakdown-RROOWWRR-F**K YOU-thrash riff-breakdown-RROOWWRR...zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Sounds like a fun show, pretty cool setlist for the most part.

I think they could have cut a couple new songs and probably the covers...but overall it was quite enjoyable.

I would have freaked out when they played Too Late Too Late.
