Well, at least it’s weekend…
So about that Big 4 concert: Quite good. I did not really know Anthrax, Megadeth & Slayer other than by name, so it was educational. Anthrax was good and I might even buy myself a Slayer album.
I fell asleep during the Megadeth bit – sorry Dave. Not to be nasty, but I think Megadeth would have done a lot better with another vocalist. Everything else was good, it’s just that the vocals did not work for me at all.
And then Metallica. Man, they are simply in a class of their own. Good show, and “Am I evil” with all the guys playing together was magnificent. You’ll be hard pressed to ever find a fuller, fatter sound than the drums, bass & rhythm of four of the all time great metal bands put together on one song.
Two not so lekker things: 1 – I left my earplugs at home thinking it won’t be that loud. Big mistake. The sound quality in
the theatre is excellent so you don’t really realise how loud it was until you walk out. It’s 14 hours later and I can still feel the after effects. Heard the same from the guys in the other theatres. Heard….mwahahaha.
2: Although 75% full there was not much energy to be felt from the other people there. I heard it was a lot better in Brooklyn, but where I was I started feeling awkward tapping my feet to the beat. Everyone just sat while I thought we were going to be jumping on seats…
All in all a good show, finished at 1am. I thought I was going to be spread a bit thin today, but all is good. The boss is gone so it’s going to be an early afternoon 
This weekend:
Delivering on my pet project tomorrow morning. Then entertain myself for a coupl of hours until Landmine Rock starts. Sunday looks like it’s going to be and my slackline. I might go check out some bouldering too – 2 spots I’ve been meaning to go see. Nothing new, but both spots seems to have stayed under the radar despite being close and safe. Hopefully not because it’s shit….
Other than that, it’s Friday afteroon – what are you still doing here?!
