My brother and dad are going. They asked me if I wanted to go but eh, I hate having to plan things way in advance. I'm going to go see Disturbed next week on the Music as a Weapon 4 tour but I'm not going to be able to go when it starts since I can't skip my classes (I have too many absences and can't afford anymore...doh).

My only regret really is that I didn't get the seats I wanted. I wanted 100 level seats.

I'm going to be sitting in section 201

Last time i went to see them in 2004 I sat in 106 and it was great.
It's not terrible, just not what i wanted

I've got a friend in the Metallica fan club, and he's supposed to be getting us pit seats for the MSG show. He's guessing it'll be about $100, because it was that much when he recently saw them in Philly.

A lot of venues double as basketball or hockey arenas, so the majority of the tickets are seated.

Yeah I actually saw NIN at the HSBC arena but they cleared out the floor to use as one big dancefloor. Still I find that kinda weird, I like to dance and jump around when I go to shows (usually dance music, sometimes other genres).

yesterday i was in a hoitytoity book store and was browsing the music commentary section.  there was a book about how Metal and Punk are related and not at all diametrically opposed as one would think.

my reaction was kind of "duh"

I'm debating whether or not I want to spend $70 on them. I've never seen Metallica live, but they'll probably be playing a lot of Death Magnetic material :yuck Plus, Hetfield's voice isn't what it used to be.

Other than the fact that he is a giant douchebag, he is notorious for mediocre live performances.

hopefully they do play a few Death Magnetic songs because Death Magnetic is a pretty good album.

Compared to St. Anger, yeah, it's an improvement. I would like to hear Judas Kiss at least, but a lot of the songs just meander along.

Megadeth announces a tour with a "big band"

Quote

Band Photo: Megadeth

In a recent update, Megadeth frontman Dave Mustaine announced that Megadeth will be hitting the road this year in what will be a huge tour with another band. Although he didn't specify which band, he stated it could lead to the end of a potential feud, which has resulted in many rumours about who they will be touring with as in the past, Mustaine has feuded with Slayer, Metallica, Suicidal Tendencies, Phil Anselmo and more. The message from Mustaine reads as follows:

"Today is the 9th of April and I have agreed to doing something last night that I am sure a lot of people are going to be very excited about, and something that I had hoped would one day lead to another one of the potential feuds going away for good, if not for a long while.

"I can't confirm the band or the dates yet, and I have to go get my youngster up for school. Rest assured, as soon as we are ready to announce it, you will be one of the first to know. Check here at the official Megadeth Forums, the Killing Road pages, and here at TheLIVEline.com.

"I worked on my book yesterday for an hour at least, and talked with the people from DEAN for a spell, then worked on lyrics and finally checked my eyelids for holes.

"I have to get up my kids for school now, so I will check back soon."


I'm kind of conflicted. I just bought these goddamn tickets and now there's a fleeting chance Megadeth and Metallica together?! Goddamnit!

Nah I doubt it's Metallica. I HIGHLY doubt it unless Megadeth is cool with being an opening act. This is Mustaine we're talking about... opening act is out of the question. Besides, Metallica's booked through the end of the year with their 2009 Death Magnetic Tour.yet.

Last I heard Megadeth is doing the Gigantour again this year. Wondering who it could be? I know Slayer is going to be on the Mayhem Tour with Marilyn Manson. Rumors last year persist that it was going to be Avenged Sevenfold and Bullet for My Valentine with Megadeth on the Gigantour. Who knows  ???

Those were confirmed false thankfully.  I'm pretty interested to see exactly WHO this band will be.  Also give us awesome shred-tastic bands on Gigantour this year.  Bodom was awesome, no more In Flames pussy crap though.  Well it could be Slayer because Gigantour might be end of summer early fall.  We'll see.  :rock  Can't wait to hear what the new album is gonna sound like.  :rock
