The next level begins TONIGHT!
July 28, 2012

Hello Mexico City! The crew has been here all week setting up the colossal, new mind blowing stage. And the word colossal is not an exaggeration! Today's schedule: local opening band Koltdown will go on 8, and Metallica will hit the stage around 9.

Uhhh... wow!
July 28, 2012

Words can not describe the huge roar heard inside the Palacio de los Deportes when Metallica took the stage for the first time in front of this sold out crowd. And the die chant for the first song of Creep was deafening! Then it was onto Bellz, and Fuel. Old school was next with a little Ride The Lightning with an electric chair that came down from the rafters, along with some tesla coils that shot electricity to the chair!!! One is on right now, (with and all new "war" intro) and cyanide is up next!

Sanitarium just started here in Mexico City. But it's weird, there's guys in blue jump suits on stage.... looks like they are building something.... hmmmmmm Before Sani, we had Cyanide (with some people trapped in the coffins!) Memory, Roam, and Sad..... can you guess what's next?

Doris Returns!
July 28, 2012

During Sanitarium, the men in blue jumpsuits started to build Doris. Half way thru the next song, ...and Justice For All, she was complete. She stood tall and mighty, until the end of the song, where she came crashing down..... Fade is on now, with Puppetz on deck!

Night 1 Done!
July 28, 2012

What an amazing first show with the new mind blowing stage. During Puppetz, lighted crosses came up from the stage, Battery saw pyro and coffins, then we had Nothing. Enter Sandman was up next, and that's when shit really hit the fan! Loud bangs, random fireworks, falling towers, falling spot light guy, falling scaffolding, guy was caught on fire.... then a complete black out. After a few mins, some things were still working, so the crew brought up some work lights, amps and speakers, and the band played on with Die, Die My Darling. Seek was the final song of the night, with beach balls falling from the ceiling, and the infamous Metal Up Your Ass toilet came down at the end of the show. Full setlist is up, pics to come.
