Why not? You seem to be a passionate fan, and they don't come around all the time. It just seems a shame that you wouldn't be able to see them simply because of something like money. So, I repeat, if I send you 50 quid would you pick up the rest of the ticket price and go?

I just want to say kudos to you dude. That is a hell of a generous thing to offer to a fellow fan. If you 100% meant that then that's a really cool thing to do.

 I have seen Metallica twice, both at festivals here in the UK. The first time was 2006 and I was probably at the height of my Metallica fandom. It was almost like a religious experience and was beyond words. Even just thinking about how amazing that experience was is making me consider getting tickets. I would urge any fan who hasn't seen them to make sure they see them live at some point. Kotow, you're obviously a big fan. I know you've said before about the difficulty of arranging it all and that you get post gig blues but I urge you to go for it. You 100% won't regret it.

Again, Podaar, hats off for that selfless act  :tup

Like I said before - it would take too much organising - my social anxiety / depression won't allow me to enjoy the experience and i'll just be super miserable afterwards

because I hate myself :) x

I just don't understand what they were trying to achieve with any part of the song, either individually or as a whole. You know what? It's the Platypus of Dream Theater songs. That bill doesn't go with that tail, or that strange little furry body, or those webbed feet, and oh god why does it have venomous spurs!? And then you find out it lays eggs too. The difference is that the Platypus is somehow functional despite being a crazy mishmash or leftover animal pieces

This is the sort of experience I had in mind. KB has contributed a lot of enthusiasm in this thread and I mistakenly thought he wouldn't be able to go simply because of the ticket price. It really seemed like a shame to me. I happen to be in a position to help out. That's all. It truly isn't a big deal, but thank you for the kind words.

And TAC too.

Like I said before - it would take too much organising - my social anxiety / depression won't allow me to enjoy the experience and i'll just be super miserable afterwards

I wasn't aware of this, KB. Some folks very dear to me struggle with the same, so I understand completely. My best, and I won't bring it up again.

Damn, those resell prices are crazy.  Makes you think the $150 isn't a bad price considering the value in the resell market.

^ That sucks, but it's a problem that's pretty bad in the ticketing industry as a whole, definitely not a Metallica specific thing.

Love those " Metallica only got big because of Mustaine " comments. :lolpalm:

He wasn't even in the band when they recorded Kill Em All - which isn't even anywhere near their best album.

Ride The Lightning is such a huge step up and Master is another step up from that.

36 years into their career and they can still write albums like Hardwired To Self Destruct... and have the 18th biggest selling tour of all time... **

I think they're doing OK without Mustaine.


Also if Mustaine is such a genius - why have Megadeth had over 15 different line ups and sell nowhere near Metallica numbers ?

This isn't a fanboy talking. This is factual stuff.

I've tried to enjoy Megadeth but the music doesn't do it for me and his voice is a big obstacle.

When he left the band before they got signed.

I'm pretty sure Megadeth's constant lineup changes are because of Mustaine's psychotic tendencies.

He didn't say exactly that, he said he was one of the four best rhythm guitar players on the planet. Still egotistical, but much less so than claiming to be one of the 4 best guitar players in the world. As far as the thrash genre goes, he's probably up there. At least he had the sense to also mention Hetfield and Malcolm Young.

I know I sound like a Metallica fanboy :p I don't intend to.

I've heard a lot of Megadeth and I can't enjoy it. But I have tried...

But any interview with Metallica from like St Anger time onwards - they always downplay their abilities.

Lars and Kirk especially have said many times that they're nowhere near what they used to be and modern players run circles around them.

To be fair, when you suck as bad as Lars and Kirk, you kind of have to admit that you suck. :P

I'm not much into Megadeth either, as I'm not generally a thrash fan. My favourite Megadeth album is Youthanasia, which is about as much thrash as TBA.

True, and I'm not a big Megadeth fan, but to be fair, Metallica used to be just as cocky, they just seemed to have aged out of it a bit.
