I, too, was able to attend the Guns ‘N Metallica concert along with Faith No More. My intentions to go were mainly for Guns and FNM. If this concert was only Metallica, I probably wouldn’t have bought a ticket. It’s not that I don’t like Metallica, in fact I like everything I’ve heard from them which is about 50% of their music. I just have never been into them enough to spend money on a concert ticket for them.
I enjoyed Faith No More very much. Those guys have such great stage presence!! Now I must admit Metallica just blew me away. They put on one killer of a show. I was very impressed! Guns ‘N Roses….oh what can I say about them? First, allow me to say that in my opinion G’NR is one of the best bands around today. Yet, I was disappointed with their performance. Don’t get me wrong, I still do and always will praise the Gunners. The way I saw it, they had too many guitar, drum, and piano solos. Although I did enjoy these to a certain extent. Another bummer, they played almost all the same songs as their January date. I feel that if they would have changed their line-up, the show would have been much more enjoyable. I was awe stricken when bassist, Duff McKagen, performed a song called “Attitude.”
Well now, to wrap this little review up, the night was worth the money. The night of Tuesday, September 15th goes down in history for me.
