Damn, sounded like a great time.
She said it was the perfect time for her 11 year old boy, you could've probably say the same thing with the young girls watching her and Metallica.

I go see Metallica at Nissan Stadium and limp freaking bizkit opened for them. I'm now finding out I had to stand through that shit. Had I went to another concert I could have seen a good band open for Tallica.

Metallica was the best show i ever saw hands down! the most humble and best group of guys! And obviously the greatest band is ever existed in my opinion but in this case there's a ton of facts to to back it up. I mean they are the only band to play all seven continents so there's that I wont list the rest but theres alot

I've seen Floor Jansen when she was pregnant at the time being the opening act for Metallica in Amsterdam. Also seen EPICA as opening act. Also seen Within Temptation as opening act for Metallica.
Those 3 are on a whole different level. So so good.
Nightwish (with Floor), EPICA, Within Temptation are truly one of a kind.
It is only sad that The Grammy's never appreciate good music outside of the USA.
They are kind of prejudice towards good musicians from other countries.

Amy hasn’t aged a day, she’s still as beautiful as she was in the 2000s ❤

This kinda underlines some of the positive things I hear about Metallica. They seem to go woth "let's see what we can do" rather than 'nope, absolutely not'. I mean, they probably draw the line somewhere, but it seems they push it… also, I've always heard that they are very professional about things. We can say this and that about the live playing, but that aside, their reputation behind the scene seems pretty good.

No it wasn't your show as well, it was their show and you got to warm up the crowd.

Well, I was at Metallica Glasgow, and you heard nothing but pure vile noise from all the support bands. Worst sound I have heard in 40 years of concert going. I take it this was the lady who just sang the same thing over and over and over.

They were incredible live.

Partly by figuring out a competent sound setup when the rest of the show sounded like a muddy mess. I've got to hand it to them, they took it seriously and stepped up

Imagine asking her 25 years ago if she would ever tour with Metallica.. 😱
What changed? 😱

Didn't really care for evanescence but saw them open in Sydney and I'm happy to be proven a dickhead. They were absolute 🔥 blew me away, the whole band were monsters & when Amy did her piano tunes it took them from good to great. I'm a fan now
