french_disko Posted March 27, 2009 Report Share Posted March 27, 2009 They were good. Not the best I've seen them though. And I really should have listened to the new album more before going. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The59Sound Posted March 27, 2009 Report Share Posted March 27, 2009 Absolutely belting.Favourites on the night were Of Wolf and Man, For Whom The Bell Tolls, All Nightmare Long, The Day That Never Comes and Master of Puppets. Was surprised to see Turn The Page in the mix, ditto Trapped Under Ice. First time seeing them, loved them for absolutely years, totally ace.For the record, did anyone else think the sound mix for Machine Head was abysmal? Especially for the first couple of tracks?

Hog Posted March 27, 2009 Report Share Posted March 27, 2009 I thought that James kicked ass. Trapped under Ice was definately a highlight!Rob and James were giving it hell. Lars was not too shabby. Kirk is a really good guitarist but he seems to be going through the motions. Just my honest opinion.Machinehead were fucking terrible! The person in charge of their sound should be taken out and shot. I also cringe at that "Halo" song. Jeez, leave songs in that style to Bullet for my valentine and Trivium. Seriously, Machinehead were like the sacrificial lambs to the slaughter before Metallica played.I was near the walkway and when James came off-stage he ran along then fell face first. It took him about 15 seconds to get to his feet. Hope he is ok, because it looked like a bad fall and it took him ages to get to his feet!

Hope he is ok, because it looked like a bad fall and it took him ages to get to his feet!I kind of took Kirk's onstage mannerisms to be more relaxed than complacent. I can see why you saw it like that though. The solo part he played before Nothing Else Matters was blinding I was well up for Machine Head. I don't love them on record but thought they'd do the job, because they tour with Metallica so often. The one song I was actually really up for was Imperium, and it got absolutely drowned in the sound mix. On the whole, pretty dull, although the crowd seemed to really take to them. I'd rather have had another half hour of The Sword, or better still, a different band, like Black Stone Cherry or something. Something a bit more melody driven maybe.Loved pretty much everything about Metallica's performance. I don't really like Fight Fire With Fire that much on record but it sounds better live.

I don't really like Fight Fire With Fire that much on record but it sounds better live.I thought when James announced him as Kirk "The Ripper" Hammett then he proceeded to play a weird crappy jazz solo thing it was a bit of a let down.Other than that I thought the gig was excellent, except from "The Day That Never Comes" which is a terrible out-of-place song on the record never mind playing it live, which I thought brought the atmosphere down just a wee bit.Machine Head's sound was dismal, the vocals weren't up loud enough and the guitars were chuggy and muffled. Still my mate actually caught one of James tombstone pic's, needless to say he's loving himself right now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lame Guitarist Posted March 27, 2009 Report Share Posted March 27, 2009 Loved the stage show, wasn't over the top and just seemed enough. The laser show was superb at the start and those coffins on the lighting rig were cool.Master of puppets totally made the night for me and to hear them do of wolf and man again was ace Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ben_1903 Posted March 27, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2009 Now that i have calmed down a bit here are my opinions:set-list - excellent, although a shame about the lack of justice era and load and reload era . turn the page was epic - they make it 'big' live. trapped under ice - yas min. of wolf and man - YAAAAS minperformance - tight as a nuns chuff, particularly the first hour. I'm fed up of lars getting criticism for being shabby - he was excellent, and the double kick in all songs was good. Especially the wee 'trills' in for whom the bell tollsjames - greatest front man everrob - machinekirk - actually I thought he looked relaxed and seemed to be having funover all i had a blast, and i think metallica did too.Machine head were good, the sound was not their fault.

Murrr Posted March 27, 2009 Report Share Posted March 27, 2009 Really enjoyed Metallica, even some of the stuff on the new album that I'm not so keen on. The setlist wasn't the best but I thought the band were absolutely blinding and "Turn the Page" was fantastic.Whoever was responsible for Machine Head's mix needs to be slapped with a big wet fish. Aside from a couple of bits of cheesy crowd banter from Robb Flynn all I heard was a big fizzy mess. The Sword didn't have the greatest mix in the world either but at least I could hear their riffs.

Monster Zero Posted March 27, 2009 Report Share Posted March 27, 2009 Overall I enjoyed it but they seemed hopelessly out of time with each other on a good few songs, 'Master of Puppets' being one that springs to mind.Machine Head were pish but I don't think the sound did them any favours at all....

Scootray Posted March 27, 2009 Report Share Posted March 27, 2009 Last night was awesome. MH sound was pish and messy, but Metallica's was spot on. Enjoyed every minute of it, and hope I get the chance to see them again in the near future. The laser show and pyrotechnics were great too.

Dayeth Posted March 29, 2009 Report Share Posted March 29, 2009 Has anyone seen the video released for Broken, Beat and Scarred? It's basically a live video from this tour, and in my opinion the best video they've ever done with the possible exception of "I Disappear". Captures the show perfectly.Thought they were out-standing in Glasgow, seeing Hetfield that close up making silly faces was brilliant. Saw them in Sheffield a month ago, which was seated, totally different experience, some bits were better, some worse, but it was in a which was designed as an ice hockey rink, so it had the terraced seats and a Cunning Stunts feel to it which is a great way to see Metallica too.I'm finally going to concede that they may EQUAL Kiss live.Second time round I'm still not sure what the black bouncey balls were about though.
