Headliner was good. All that matters. I had a chance to go but St. Louis was the closest and that long a drive to see a band I had seen a bunch of times in their heyday before they got all "cool" to see and mainstream (BORING, from the Black Album on, IMO) just didn't make me really consider it. Especially, as you mentioned, with Gorija. Megadeth with SCORPIONS (NOT the other way around) would be the better ticket, IMO. Again, not coming close to me.
Good deal, though! Glad to know someone with your good tastes thought they still put on a rockin' show!
Was quite a good show. next time I go to this venue I will spring for better seats, was a bit high up, never been there before. Gojira was sort of Meh, A7x did a good job, not nessesarily my cup of tea. Metallica mixed the set up well, good pyro, good energy. well done
good system for getting to the show also. no parking anywhere in the area, they set up some special bus routes, and have these random parking lots in the middle of nowhere. you hop a bus from there, come out of the show, hop a bus back and no traffic. worked real well.
came back and worked this afternoon. need a nap now
