Ninii's pages: Metallica!!!

So after over an entire year, listening to my band still does something too me!

In April 2013, the band came to South Africa, and well, I was always quite a fan, I never had a clue what concert was in store for me!
From the most incredible guitar playing, to a stage presence as we say in Afrikaans, skrik vir niks, mind blowing pyro techniques and an audience so eager and excitable, in all my life, it was literally the best night of my life!

A group of us waited eagerly outside the gates before the show - much to my knowledge, we were standing among the Metallica club... The crowd were quite rough but respectable and no one pushed in front, so well deserved, we got to stand right in front of the stage!
We took with us our very own Metallica South African flag, which we tied up onto the banner.
The set list included amazing songs such as, Ride the Lightening, Enter Sandman, Sad but true, One and Nothing Else matters.

On their on chore, we threw the flag onto the stage and as the lights came back on, our flag was over Lars's drum kit!
They played their last few songs, we got a snap of our photo by one of their photographers and collected a guitar pic or two from the band!

After the concert, each of us were completely exhausted and blown away by the band! We shared a long manly hug (which I was quite proud to be a part of!) and went our separate ways home...
After all this time, if I had to sum up my favorite moments with Scott, and I say this with a happy heart - this would be one of them. If I had to sum up one of the best nights in my life, this would be it. If I ever had to sum up my best concert, best band, best anything, my answer would be METALLICA!

I even bought the DVD, Through the never... Highly recommended if you are a fan! It's like reliving the gig all over again!
