Hmm. Thats interesting that you really like Metallica that much. Even more than Maiden. I'd be interested to know why. I really don't like much Metallica after Justice For All, except a few songs of the black album. Do you like Metallica after Justice? I'd like to know why.

I am pretty sure I saw one fo the greatest Metalica shows in recent history. Why? Well check this out:

I live in San Francisco, and they live around here. About 4 years ago, before they went on tour that wanted to warm up. They played here at a theatre called The Filmore, which is standing room only that fits about 1000 people. It was 3 days of free shows for invited guests only and special fan club member lottery or soemthing. I was not invited nor was I a fan club member. I showed up and met some dude, and we started talking. After everyone went in they had room for a few more "Fan Club members" There guy told her I was his cousin and she let me in.

The show began with Hit the lights and they played almost the entire Garage Days. The focus of the show was almost entirely Justice and before. All old stuff! Out of the entire long show, they only new songs were Sad but True and 2 others of that new album. So only 3 or 4 Post-Justice songs. Awesome show! My ears rang like a jet plane for about 2 weeks. I truly thought I went deaf.

So, having said that, I do like them, but don't really find them interesting enough to listen to often nor do I find them as melodic and sophisticated as Maiden. As much as you know Maiden, I am surprised that they fall second to Metallica, especially since they haven't put out a good album in years. Lke Rush. Rush has completely forgotten how to write songs since Moving Pictures, besides a few songs here and there.

What the hell happened to Rush?
