First off I wanna say that I'm a METAL HEAD born and raised with it, old Metallica, Overkill, SLAYER, King Diamond you get the picture. As I have gotten older I now listen to everything but you will always catch me listening to hair nation on Sirius.

So a buddy of mine gets $200+ seats for free and invites me, now not liking there newer stuff as much as the older stuff I was complacent on goin but I figured what the fuck if they play even 1 old song it may be worth it.

So we get there and of course I bring my camera and on the way in there scanning with wands and of course guess what? No camera aloud WTF??!? So my buddy is already in the gated area and I'm like FUCK I have to walk all the way back to the car to drop the camera off, so he is talking to me inside the gated area which is a waist high gate, I say give me your keys he looks at me and goes give me the camera, I'm like what? He says give it to me, since he has already been checked and inside the gate they wont check him again, so I give him the camera he puts it in his jacket and I walk around 2 cars and walk back and wallah I'm in! We find our seats and were right on the floor buy the hockey board right next to general admission which is floor seat, YES!!!! Long story short show starts I turn the camera on, dead battery, I left it on the night before, FUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Backstep a few minutes before that this is where it starts getting good. Standing there looking around I hear the crown cheering, I look in the gen. admission area 10 rows from me and there is guys squaring off UFC style brawling I'm talking bloody brawling baby, holy shit my adrenaline was flowing at this point, I WANT IN!!! Security separates everyone and the lights go down and the show starts.

They start off with ONE by this point my adrenaline is so high I can feel my blood pumping thru my veins. I look down at gen. admission and what do you know 10 rows from me a MOSH PIT!!! OH HELLS YES!!!!!! There playing Master of Puppets, Damage inc a few new songs you get the picture, I cant take my eyes off this mosh pit, now by this point I cant take it anymore I need to hit the PIT!!!! I'm looking down and there is a bunch of LID in the pit (Long Island Dicks) a few big guys throwing weight around and I want in to cause some damage! I go to the security guard and ask him, BEG him give me 20 minutes and ill come right back to my seat just let me GET IN THE MOSH PIT, I can only describe it like the movie 300 when the Persian Elite Warriors have that huge monster and all the fighting is going on around him and he looks at the guys holding the chains and is BEGGING for them to cut the chains and let him get into the BRAWL, I was BEGGING this guy just give me 20 minutes let me bruise some of these guys up and ill come right back, take my wallet, take my camera TAKE MY FIRST BORN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Holy shit I was like a madman, he was just a dick and would not let me into the gen. admission area. So I go back to my seat and just pound my fists, head as hard as I can to every song until I was soaked in sweat, my veins were popping out everywhere it was fucking great.

One, Damage inc, Master of puppets, The day that never comes, Kill em ALL, They did a 4 song encore and ended with SEEK AND DESTROY by this point I couldn't hear anything and had no voice due to singing every song at the top of my lungs. I must say that yelling like that all nite and not being mad at anyone and yelling like that I woke up this morning with a weight lifted off my shoulders, I have not felt this good in a while. I have NEVER released so much tension in one night, would of been more if they let me into the pit.

My review, HOLY SHIT they rocked the roof off Nassau Coliseum, they sound as good as they did 25 years ago when I first seen them. If you have a chance don't miss it they FUCKING ROCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Glad you had a great time Tony. I was able to go to their Summer Sanitarium tour here in the cities several years back and it was a similar experience. The croud actually booed (I cannot remember the band now), but they left the stage just after starting and we got 4 full hours of Metallica. It totally rocked. I am a huge fan of theirs and it was awesome. It was even better when the 50 some chick sitting next to us lit up a joint. :eek: Made it easier to sneak in the one hitters... (For my buddy of course). :music049:

Sounds like you had a fuckin blast Tony, Their old stuff is always the best. However their new stuff needs to be just thrown in the trash. Look at the lyrics from their first 4 albums (Kill em all, Ride the lightning, Master of puppets, Justice for all) then compare it to everything after the black album... Doesn't even seem like the same damn band! They need a serious change, They need to get rid of Lars' premadonna ass and find a real drummer, James needs to start drinking again, Kirk could use a smack upside the head and realize that he's not the greatest guitarist and he should try harder. Most times I wonder how Metallica would be if Cliff Burton was still alive.

I would have loved to see Dave Mustain with Cliff Burton also, ahhh but we can dream. I stopped being a hardcore fan after Justice for all, the shit they were putting out was way to mainstream for me.

As for the show I have to say I was shocked bordering on impressed how good James sounded, he can still belt them out. All in all im glad I went i got some serious aggression out and would have been more if I could have gotten to the pit.
