Scars on Broadway & Metallica May 14, 2008 Review
Posted by S.O.A.D.orV.O.A.D. on Friday, May 16, 2008 - 09:29 AM
Scars in Silverlake BenefAs soon as I heard that Scars on Broadway would be playing with Metallica, I knew that I had to be there. I bought tickets the second they went on sale and patiently waited until the show came around.I got off work early and made my way to the Wiltern. Thinking I was early, I didn't rush too much. When I got there, I saw that the line went around the corner about a block and thought, "man, there's no way i'm getting close to the front this time." I waited for about an hour for the doors to open, in the meantime I talked with a few other fans and saw cigarosmoker, who's a member on this site. That was pretty cool, we talked for a bit then walked in together. He and his friend had seats in the upper section, and we split up and I tried to get as close as possible. I ended up right behind the pit in the "second pit," which was a lot crazier than the first one. I told a few Metallica fans that Scars were awesome, but they weren't really paying too much attention.



After waiting for a little while more, Scars came on stage and started playing the same set as the other shows. The only differences were that they slowed the tempo of a few songs down and everything was done better.

I really enjoyed the music more than the other two times, and that's saying something because the [Whisky show] and [Coachella] were both amazing.

My favorite songs by far were "Universe" and "Cute Machines." I really loved the melodies in "Universe." Both guitars, the keys, and the drums sounded amazing. Daron seemed really happy to be on stage.

During "Enemy/Drugs" he said "I like drugs, and I like Metallica too!" I thought that was pretty cool. Overall, Scars was awesome again, and a lot of the Metallica fans thought they were good too, which I found surprising.

After another ridiculously long wait, Metallica came on and played their set. It was really cool seeing them for the first time. They played a lot of songs that I love. The only thing wrong with them was that they messed up a few times, very noticeably during "One," which is my favorite song by them. I honestly feel like Scars outplayed them, even though the Scars set was much shorter. It was a really fun night overall, well worth the price of admission.

ok. do not believe this dude at all. He is so lying. There were no seats at the Pima County Fairgrounds in TUCSON Arizona. I got there at 3:45 and I made my way to the front. It was a great show, but Scars on Broadway didn't outplay them. I don't think no one can. Unless it's of cousr System Of A Down. And the crowd mest it up on One, not metallica. One of the best shows ive ever been to. But the best one was System Of A Down in 06' at Ozzfest in Phoenix...

I was at the one in Tucson also and I agree with BLOODYNUT they cant outplay metallica. I honestly didn't like SOB. I was so excited to see them only to be disappointed. SOD only played for about 30 min. if that. They left the stage without saying anything. Good thing that Metallica made up for it.

Its too bad that SOB isn't playing Ozzfest this year with Serj. If they could reunite for just 1 show, that would kick ass.
