In interviews these dudes have always seemed to have good taste when asked. This looks pretty cool.

Orion Music + More? Someone could have thought of a much better title than that.

What the fuck is this? I mean, solid line up for the most part, and seeing metallica is always cool as fuck (Though I'd pray to Dave Grohl I wouldn't show up on the night they do the Black Album in it's entirety.) But seriously...what the fuck is this?

Okay that's kind of an awesome lineup. I'm not sure why they'd call it the Orion festival and then play the Black Album, but whatever, I'd go to that festival in a heartbeat. Mainly for Modest Mouse and Titus Andronicus. Lots of other decent bands too. And holy shit, Roky Erickson? From the 13th Floor Elevators? Random but awesome.

Right, because they've never staged live shows or tours prior to Lulu. And I'm sure all of the old school fans they offend each time they do something experimental are huge Best Coast supporters.

If Metallica still had their real thrash sound (or real metal sound), this lineup wouldn't even be conceived. I think it's time these guys threw in the towel.

"I'm pretty sure they're playing all of the Black Album at Download too. Bleh."

Yes, they are. And as much as I'd have loved to see them do RtL or aJfa live, it's better than nothing. I have never seen
Metallica live before, and as ridiculous as they may be at present time, I'd still like to stand a shout along to Creeping
Death and the other classics they'll hopefully do after that one album is performed in it's entirety (and hey, it could be a
really bad album they'd be playing instead of the black one, so why be sour?)

^ I couldn't imagine them ever seeing playing Load or St. Anger in entirety a good idea. Ever.
