Metallica 2014

I was impressed by the way the bloke from Royal blood played and sang despite looking like he had consumed a big sack of class As before taking to the stage.

Lol apparently the drummer never smiles either ! Was very good

Well I had a blinder at Reading Saturday, had a great run of bands, saw Marmozets, Slaves, Wolf Alice, Royal Blood, Seether, Bring Me The Horizon and finally finished off with the almighty Metallica!  

And to make it the best Metallica gig ever, my mate somehow blagged stage passes so if you watched it on the TV, I was one of the lucky bastards standing behind the band whilst they blasted through their greatest hits set for 2 hours, here is a couple of the pictures I took: (note I missed out on tickets to Glastonbury in 2014 despite getting them in 2013/2015 and was so so gutted when Metallica were announced so this more than made up for missing the glasto performance)

I'm still upset they didn't play Sanitarium.

 

I'm still upset I dropped my bloody camera

 

Really enjoyed watching that Reading set. Doubly good as I didn't know/forgot it was happening and only came across it through being bored, deciding to look at Twitter and seeing a tweet from Gnomicide.

 

Took me right back and thought I was enjoying it more than the crowd looked like they were.

I thought they may have changed their stage / production from last year ?

Haven't Metallica basically just been "big screen" for years at festivals?

....deciding to look at Twitter and seeing a tweet from Gnomicide.

All part of the service

The big black bouncing balls at the back got stuck at Reading this year . I felt sorry for the person who had climbed up the speaker stack to release them but had to chuck them down one by one!

Awesome

TV can be a weirdly deceptive thing when it comes to gigs but the Reading crowd seem much less up for Metallica than Glastonbury was last year.

Reading was only shown on BBC4 so there was a lot less motivation to look good for the cameras.
