Metallica - Sound Check (Soundwave 2013 Brisbane)

[@topixfromthetropix1674]

I was the lead truck driver on the US/Canada "And Justice for All" tour back about 1989. The band had decided they wanted to play in every state in the US. That put them in some unusual venues in Delaware and New Hampshire. When they played in Nome, Alaska the sound system caught on fire. The crowd thought it was part of the show and the crew extinguished it pretty quickly so no harm no foul? Curiously enough, Hector Lizardi, formerly Billy Graham the evangelist's accountant, was on the tour. While we were eating sushi off 8 mile road in North Detroit, Hector asked Lars what he wanted to do when he grew up. Without missing a beat, Lars said, "I wanna be an accountant because they can steal from everybody."

In 35 years of tour logistics, I've never seen the sound, instruments and stage gear travel at the same pace as the artists. It's usually far ahead of the band and is a constant game of leapfrog after each venue. I've NEVER seen an ancillary tour member sit down and dine with the band either, rarely they would hang out with sound and lighting engineers, but a truck driver?

[@markrosenquist8259]

It definitely is. I’ll never forget the feeling I got the first time listening to Kill em all when it came out. It was the greatest thing I had ever heard and was a huge Metallica fan up until the black album. Kill em all is my favorite album by them.

[@topixfromthetropix1674]

I worked 23 years as a concert sound tech. As the person in final control of sound system volume, you never let the opening acts have control of overall volume. If the headliner isn't above the rest, the engineer has failed his job.

Lars gets it. He is a killer drummer who knows his songs and his craft. He then and always has his kit set up in advance before the stringed instruments come out of their cases. He's ready to play. And is made to wait while guitarists, bassist tune up, and change guitars. Patience beyond measure, yet he gets the brunt of non-musicians negative comments. It's hard to play drums and you have to be fit. I saw all this as a guitarist and musician 45 years. RESPECT.
