Just back from seeing Metallica,Machine Head and The Sword and it was stunning. Certainly the best live show i've seen.
So first of all The Sword. A band i've never really listened to but i was quite impressed. They have the sound of Black Sabbath at times and although it was a short 30 min set there were a worthwhile watch.
Next up Machine Head. There was a large majority of Machine Head fans to see them and they didn't disappoint. From Clenching The Fists Of Dissent to Davidian they were loud and very very heavy. Rob Flynn really knows how to get a crowd going so Machine Head had warmed the crowd nicely for the main event.
So Metallica then. Well they certainly haven't lost their touch and they were brilliant. Hetfield,Hammett,Trujillo and Ulrich were on top form especially James with his crowd interaction.
So overall a great night of heavy metal and well worth catching,
