On 10/17/09 I went to see Metallica in Charlotesville, Virginia with my brother and some friends. I got the tickets back in May, so I was quite excited when the day finally came that I could see them. It was loud, intense and easily the best concert I have been to. The band played songs from their new album and their classics as well, I couldn't have asked for anything better.
Some people may have seen this in the news, this concert was the last known whereabouts of the missing Virginia Tech student Morgan Dana Harrington. Police are urging concert attendees to call with any tips but so far there have been no developments, Morgan's parents are now offering a $100,000 reward for information which leads to her return.
I came to realize that this day, which was one of the best and most fun times of my life was also the worst day for someone else and their family.

Wow that is very sad but I'm glad to hear you had a good time there. I really wanted to go to the Metallica concert in DC last year but the tickets sold out too fast. What did you think of there new music? I'm glad to hear they still have there talkent and I sure hope the missing girl is found.
ReplyDeleteTheir newest album Death Magnetic is good, it's a throwback to their old stuff and the songs sound great live.
ReplyDeleteThey will never be able to top their classics though so its good they still play them.
