Music Menu / News Metallica, Third Eye Blind rock Charlotte tonight

Posted By on Sun, Oct 18, 2009 at 12:34 PM

Metallica Fans and, most likely, the band would like to forget St. Anger and everything that came along with it. Their latest, Death Magnetic, is a return to form, so to speak, and made most people happy. Long songs that play more like epics than anything radio-friendly. This time around, the band is performing "in the round" which should make for an interesting metal experience. Especially after the dark growling of the opener. With Lamb of God. Time Warner Cable Arena (Hahne)

Third Eye Blind A colleague recently found himself in a flame-war with a representative of this band because he Twittered that "their limp brand of alterna-rock" and "mook" fans had soiled his tenure as a record-store clerk in the late '90s. (Fact: I suffered similar 3EB trauma working in a record store during that unfortunate era.) But the vehemence of this 3EB rep's counter-attack suggests the kind of insecurity that comes from a creeping awareness that, hey, that critic asshole may be right, and if so I've wasted years of my "semi-charmed life" listening to over-wrought cookie-cutter rock. With Hot Chelle Rae. Neighborhood Theatre (Schacht)
