Re: Hamilton Report
credit goes out to d-man for this
(taken from encycmet.com)
WAS AWESOME!
Second time seeing the band in 3 weeks, and I enjoyed this show even more than in Toronto...
Here's the setlist:
Battery
Fuel
The Memory Remains
The Thing That Should Not Be
Frantic
The Unforgiven
Holier Than Thou
Whiskey In The Jar
Welcome Home (Sanitarium)
Master Of Puppets
Fight Fire With Fire
--------
For Whom The Bell Tolls
Nothing Else Matters
Sad But True
One
Enter Sandman
--------
Dyers Eve
Seek And Destroy
Now, can you ask for a better setlist It was amazing!
Now, to the show.
I went by myself this time, and I brought two signs with me...
One was a Canadian flag, but it had the Ninja Star logo on it instead of the maple leaf. I'll take a pic of it soon. This one scored for me big time, and I'll tell you how in a bit.
The second one was my gem. It said "HAMILTON LOVES THAT SILLY LITTLE WEBSITE!" I'll explain why it was a gem in a second.
So, the show starts off with... No, not Blackened, but Battery! Great surprise there, and it just got better. After a sweet version of Fuel, the guys whipped out The Memory Remains, which was big on the sing along parts.
Now, this is where the awesomeness starts. It was around this time that Hetfield goes to the mic, and says, "Boy, I see a lot of Canadian flags around here." I heard this and screamed his name as loud as I could and held the flag I made up, and he looks at me and says, "Hey, that's a cool one!" That made my day there, but it just got more awesome after that.
They then played The Thing That Should Not Be () and went into Frantic. At this time, I brought out my "HAMILTON LOVES THAT SILLY LITTLE WEBSITE!" sign, and guy (Pretty sure it was Niclas from MetOnTour.com) comes up to me and says he'll take my pic for the site. That was awesome, and he took my pic, and thanked me for the support. Thank me? Niclas, thank you, you f'in rock. It should be up very soon, and when it is, I'll post it here. This wouldn't be the last I would see of Niclas though. Kirk played a mean solo after Frantic, and it was very cool. He read my "Silly Website" sign as well, which rocked.
They then played some more songs, including Holier Than Thou, Whiskey in the Jar, Welcome Home (Sanitarium) and Fight Fire with Fire, all of which I've never heard live before, so that was sweet that they played those songs. Rob did his Junglessence solo as well, which sounded even better than it did in Toronto. (Did he add on to it or something?)
During this, Hetfield came around and I got to slap hands with him, which was awesome.
For the first encore, we got For Whom the Bell Tolls and Sad But True, along with NEM, One and Enter Sandman. The pyro for One was insane, much like it was in Toronto. During One, I got out my "Silly little website" sign and showed it to Lars and gave him the devil horns, and he looked right back and me, with his own set of devil horns. He was hunched over behind the bass drum when he did that, so that was funny. As well, Hetfield came back to over to my area, and we slapped fists this time. That was even more awesome. First a high five, then the fist. He had a mean looking ring on too, pretty sweet.
For the second encore, we got Dyers Eve. This helped finish the show on a high note, just like how Disposable Heroes made the Toronto show worth seeing. After this, we got everyone's fave, Seek & Destroy, which the crowd went nuts on.
When the show ended, I got blown away. While the guys were throwing picks to the crowd, James came over to me and gave me his wristband. His sweaty, awesome wristband. I couldn't even speak. I had just gotten a freakin' wristband from Hetfield! Aghhh!!! To top that off, Niclas came back over to me and gave me like 10 picks! I thought he was gonna give me like two, but he gave me 10! Ahahahah.....awesome.
So, after that, I left the building, and delibritely started looking through all my picks while walking through the crowd just to show them off. People were offering me like 10 bucks a pick, but there's no way I'd sell any of them.
Well, that's about it. I'm at home typing this, with ringing ears and a satisfied Metallica smile, which James said he wanted us all to have. Well James, you did you job. Thanks.
And that's it. Metallica in Hamilton = best time of my life. And Lars, you're right. You should come back here more than every 7 years. Haha...
PS: Niclas, if that was even you, (I don't know, I've never seen you before ) thank you so much for taking my picture, and the 10 picks. YOU ROCK!

Re: Hamilton Report
The only sad thing was the turn out. The upper deck seating was closed and the first deck was not sold out. The floor was full on one side of the stage and the other was only half. But at least the london show the next night was sold out.
