I went to see Metallica at one of the Minneapolis shows. I got a seat very close to, but behind, the stage. I tried to find a leak in the security to get to the floor, but that never materialized. It was a good show, though. I, quite unfortunately, missed the whole Sevendust set.
Kid Rock is a hack.
That about all I have to say about him. Metallica are still cool and still appreciate the hard core old fans that know all the old tunes. I also made it to the Dream Theater concert recently. That was a good show, though LaBrie forgot a verse in Home. The Dixie Dregs are quite cool.
