can we just take a moment to talk about how awesome Joey Maloney's pics are?
fucker went to see Metallica at the Weenie Roast
and all i got were these amazing pics to show you.
an excerpt of what Joey wrote on LAist: Following a small benefit concert this past Wednesday at the Wiltern, Metallica hit the stage with such force and bombast that it was hard to believe that had only done a handful of shows since 2004. The legendary four-piece tore through "Fuel" and "For Whom the Bell Tolls" at the open of their set. Led by the ever powerful James Hetfield, the volume and power that comes with a Metallica show is unlike anything you will experience. They kept their setlist limited to pre-St. Anger material and did not showcase any new songs. It was hard to tell that it had been almost four years since they had toured as they three guitar/bass wielding members weaved a delicate choreography on stage with one player never in the same spot for more than a song. Guitarist Kirk Hammet's shredding solos are still some of the most intense and charged out there as each solo break was a showcase for his amazing talent. The 16,000 + capacity crowd at the Verizon Wireless Amphitheater, who had braved the fierce heat of the day, loved every second of it. there are a few people id like to kidnap and bring over to the Times, Joey is on the top of my list, but sadly we're not really hiring right now
... but when we do...
