Summary

On the Summer Sanitarium tour in July of 2000, James Hetfield injured his back while jet skiing, missing three Metallica shows in a row. All tickets were honored for makeup dates but in the mean time, members of the opening bands (Powerman 5000, System of a Down, Kid Rock and Korn) filled in for James Hetfield on vocals and guitar for what ended up being an interesting, hilarious and sometimes frustrating concert experience. The first night of this experiment was at the Georgia Dome in Atlanta. Somewhere up in the nosebleeds was a 16 year old Clint Wells and this was his first Metallica show. A few nights later a 16 year old Angelo Gonzalez would also witness this strange event in Dallas. This was also his first Metallica show. On this Metal Tales, we meet Angelo and hear all about his Lord of the Rings-esque journey being dropped off alone at Texas Stadium, making his way as close to the rail as possible, making sense of the unique performance, seeing Newsted shine and what ultimately brought him to tears at the Metallica concert. Enjoy!
