[kj] Gig reports? OT: Metallica in MexCity

[Darren A. Peace]

On the bass of the last album, I’d happily see Metallica. They’re a far better bet these days generally; the first time I saw them, Hetfield had the fecund complexion of a 14-year-old cultivated on a pizza-only diet and there was a real danger of getting spattered by pus in the front row. It’s a real chore getting pus off your spectacles, let me tell you.

Ok, ok it's not Killing Joke, but let me tell you two weekends ago i went to this Metallica gig (one of a total of three in Mexico city) and it was really good. Those old guys are kind of renewed and are playing at their best. This is the third time i see them and this has been so far the best. I'm not exactly a Metallica fan, but i like many of their stuff a lot, primarily before the black album, and i found their last album to be a decent work in general. 
Well, I went on Saturday and they played a nice set of "Ride The Lightning" songs among other great ones. A friend of mine went the next day -Sunday- and they played a set of "And Justice For All". 
So if this guys are going to your city and you are thinking of going/not going, let me tell you there won't be regrets. This guys are giving 200% of full live power. 

Oh! and just to be a little bit on topic, the Sunday's set included "The Wait" as an encore before "Hit The Lights" and "Seek and Destroy". 

Cheers!
