Justice will thus be king, as well as Death Magneticįrom which four titles will be played. With «One» and the exceptionnal «Dyers Eve», you could believe to be back in 1988 on the tour for their iconic album …And Justice For All.Īh…if all the Robert could be like this one! In any case, in the pit, we’re in ‘Nam!Īs usual the band has changed its setlist introducing as soon as the second bit the great «Creeping Death»įrom Ride The Lightning, an album from which no title were played by Metallica on this 2009 tour! «Fade To Black» will then follow punctuated by a colossal «Harvester Of Sorrow». We’re far from the Damaged Justice Tour in 1988-89 where the band started right away «Blackened» after the intro in an outburst of pyrotechnics! Apart from this little hitch, the concert starts off great with a beautiful sound in this magical place, of course in open air, but not overblown like in a standrad stadium.

Therefore there’s a gap of 15 seconds between the song intro and the starting riff, which is a bit breaking the dynamics. All of a sudden the first sampled bars of «Blackened» ring out before the band comes leisurely up a few seconds later. Then the audience gets the mythical intro: «Ecstasy Of Gold» from Ennio Morricone, sung in unison by the audience. The beginning of the concert is closing in and James Hetfield wife and children settle in the stand on the left side of the stage.Ģ1h45, the sun is setting and «Heavy Metal Thunder» of Saxon rings out in the arena. We’re having fun counting how many cameras there are: at least eight! Two in line with the stage, one behind, one mobile on tracks, one at the hand of an articulated arm on the right side and one at the end of a crane above the arenas! Not counting the three cameramen that are on stage, in charge of the close-ups on the musicians. Then the roadies of Metallica come up to prepare the stage for the band. The singer, Mouss, explaining to the audience that it is a dream coming true to be there for them and that they all had posters of Metallica in their rooms when they were 20 years old! Failles, the next Mass, will be released in September. Then it’s up to Mass Hysteria to be on stage to set it up on fire. All that for a somewhat noisy music that reminds us a bit of the solo project of Mike Patton. Three seated musicians: a drummer right in front, a singer on the side and a third on the other side playing the piano. It’s the band from Toulouse, My Own Private Alaska, who opens the show at 19h. Except that the seats are not indexed, that there’s no control whatsoever and that you actually had to get there early to get a good seat… The early bird gets the worm as they say!. Hence the special mention on the tickets reduced visibility. Meaning that some viewers in this bend will only see the back of the band playing most of the time.

The stage is in front one of the two bends. Special thumbs up to: «Metallica, What Else ?» ! Many banners are arranged on the stands, amongst which a lot with the French colors – blue, white, red – mixed with references to Metallica. You could actually hear in the city streets the band’s balance on «Blackened» !ġ8h : the arenas are quite full. That’s why the Four Horsemen already rehearsed last night on this ancient site. 2 000 years ago! Besides the band takes this great opportunity to shoot his next live DVD.
Actually, a question arises: how many t-shirts the band has sold these last 25 years? Honestly might be counted in millions! Anyway, the sun is shining and the big event is coming : to see the biggest metal band in the world in these roman arenas built in the 1st century after JC. Funny to meet all these Metallica fans wandering about in the old pedestrian streets of downtown. Artists : Metallica – Mass Hysteria – My Own Private Alaska
