But to remind you of the colossal task ahead, even Beyonce Knowles backed off from KL, but performed at Jakarta instead..........

During the concert and actually any concert I ever attended, drug dealers were left and right and the rowdiest people you could imagine were there - probably even worse than could ever be found at any EPL match! Still, we tolerated them and focused on the music. How then did we manage to get our degrees? I think it's all about having the right type of close friends, and my upbringing. My first friend at university turned out to be quite into the occult, and I was wise enough to back off and look for another crowd. Regarding Metallica, I think they suffer from the same thing as me and anybody: age mellows you. When I went to the concert they had just released their Black Album, Enter Sandman was all the rage and Metallica had not entered their "mellow" phase yet. I shall never forget the sight of James Hetfield smirking as he played the first few notes of Fade To Black, Kirk Hammett's going a little off-key during the ultrafast solo to One and Jason Newsted turning his hair into a propeller. Truly, those were the days...

But I think Metallica has quite a decent image nowadays, don't they? Wah Ben, I am struggling to imagine you at such a concert, ha!
