![]() It was released as a double album on October 31, 2011, by Warner Bros. They came a bit raw, yet polished, but most definitely determined and ready to put on one hell of an aggressive show.Lulu is a collaboration album between rock singer-songwriter Lou Reed and heavy metal band Metallica. They are a band confident enough to pull out the songs they want to play and ignore the radio hits and the easy crowd pleasers. These guys just come out with one mission: kick your ass with the music. As Sandman trailed off into the dark, yet moon-lit night, the band came together as one and thanked the crowd and assured us that they would be back in the spring of next year. Kirk's 3 main/tail riff that is Enter Sandman got the crowd pumped for the huge explosion of fireworks above the stage. Then the hour long (ok, maybe not quite) warfare intro of One - complete with "landmine" effects for extra effect kicked off the second encore. Kirk and Rob once again provide the back-up vocals, but they aren't needed when the overpowering sound of 75 thousand fans chanting "DIE, DIE, DIE" echoes throughout the stadium. Not the big, over the top Nothing Else Matters from the last few tours, but rather a little streamlined, a little more aggressive.the song fades only to be crushed by Creeping Death. Guitar and voice, standing alone against a sea of lighters. Nothing Else Matters started with Lars assisting Kirk with a drumstick to the strings, and after the intro, it was just James for the first part of the song. "Give me an M, give me an E, give me a T.Gimme fuel, Gimme fire, Gimme that which I desire!" Fuel sparked off the first encore with yet another display of pyro - "gimme fire" - oh yeah, that they did.Īt last, a bit of a breather. Other than the two brand new songs, 1997's Fuel is the newest song played - nothing else from the Load twins, or S&M/Garage/M:I-2, most of the setlist was from 1991 and before. These guys are seriously not holding any back! Blackened hit next, with an amazing display of fire. Cliff, Jason, even Ron and Dave are represented in the visual timeline as the band played through the kick-ass version of the classic song off the first album. It started at 1981 and worked its way up to the present day. ![]() Just sit back, relax, mellow out, don't release that energy you've got.but most importantly, it's the one when you don't listen to what I just said." Soon after the riffs for Seek and Destroy have the crowd back in it. "This next song is the one when you guys don't sing and be really quiet. Absolutely killing us with the unbelievable variety of fast paced, in-your-face music. No Remorse was up next and by this time the band was taking no prisoners. Anger hits with a bit of dull thud, the song may be just a little too long to keep our attention, but nonetheless, it is one heavy motherfucker! Once those riffs hit the speaker system, the crowd lost it. "My lifestyle determines my deathstyle!" James did a 'sing-along with me' for a few verses of Sad But True, prior to the instruments kicking ass. The band slamed through Frantic with an amazing amount of energy. He lays down the opening intro to Bellz with Cliff Burton behind him on the video screens, banging away, slamming the strings along with the 'new 'old' guy.' Unending energy from Metallica's bass players! Robert Trujillo." Yeah right, 'new guy.' On stage he's the perfect fit, like he's been there for years and years. "I just wanna say, my name is James, this here is Kirk, back there banging the drums is Lars, and our newest Metallica family member, Mr. James then determined it was time for a little break, as he introduced the band. "Leave Me Alone" - the song sings right back in Fred's face. Limp Bizkit did an admirable job trying to update this classic, but man, there' is just something about the original that does the job better. "Welcome to where time stands still." Sanitarium chimes through the stadium again, for the second time. ![]() But don't worry fans, Rob and Kirk can pull double-duty just as well as Jason did in the past. But no, the band roared right into Harvester of Sorrow. The band started it off with a killer version of Battery, then charged straight through with the full version of Master of Puppets - you'd think they would have slowed down a bit, caught their breath and allowed us to catch ours. The lights were cut, the crowd erupted, Ecstasy of Gold kicked in and we booked it back to our seats. This band - seemingly rejuvenated by the presence of Rob Trujillo - comes out fangs bared and ready for blood. It certainly wasn't a concert for the casual Metallica fan (one that doesn't know the words to 'Blackened' - or even have the album 'No Remorse' was released on).
