Death Magnetic

Its not so much a talk about the album ... its Metallica ... you know what your getting yourself in to when you buy the album. They are going to be the number one album on the billboard 200 with projected sales of half a million .. which by today's standards .... is a lot of albums to sell.


Here's the news though. They'll come as close as Calgary at the start of December. Tickets for the show went on sale last Saturday and sold out in less than an hour. Sucks hey? I really wanted to go to .... oh wait, did you hear they added another show? Yeah, its cause they did. After the first show sold out so fast ... they thought they would treat us to another one the next night .. which is way better for many reasons. December 4th is a Thursday ... which would than warrant using a holiday day to go to the concert, no problem, I was willing to do that. But now ... the second show falls on December 5th which is a Friday ... which means in Calgary Friday afternoon .... Metallica Friday night ... and party for the weekend. No Holiday days, just Metallica at the Pengrowth Saddledome!!


Tickets go on sale for the second show Tuesday morning at 10. Lamb of God and The Sword will open.

It sucked reading about Pink Floyd's Richard Wright passing away from Cancer the other day. He was basically the only normal one in the band. He was a very low key guy, stayed out of the controversies, and was a fan favorite. He was 65, and will be missed in the world of music.
