Ok I’ve been checking out the sets and I have to say most of them surprised me at how great they sounded. Metallica kinda sucked and there were a few shaky ones and lowlights but overall I’m surprised. I hope they release this
 
Did you see that insanely ugly guitar Gary Holt was slinging on the first song with Slayer? I felt violated, like my feelings were hurt. I just kept shouting "NO GARY, NO! THIS CANNOT BE HAPPENING!!" At this point I have to assume he was contractually obligated by Kerry King so that Kerry would finally look cooler somehow.

I wondered if that was so they could turn 'em up more and get the tubes working without moving the sound guy's cheese. I've done similar before.

IMVPO Gary Holt stopped looking cool on stage when he dropped this for his Esp

Tobias missed the target on "bark at the moon", not a good song choice for his style or range. That said, the real fail here was definitely Vernon. I don't know what song he was playing and his tone was atrocious. He was also sloppy and off time. Nuno, however killed it. Rhythm chops were strong and he nailed those frantic lead runs almost like JEL. Without him that performance would have been a flat out embarrassment.

What the fuck Vernon? You are STILL a terrible guitarist, sloppy as fuck, and have HORRIBLE tone. It sounded like a kid who's been playing for 3 years and discovered the old Line 6 Insane setting on the Spider practice amps. Nuno barely saved that performance, even Tobias SUCKED on the mic, and I LOVE me some Ghost. Damn that was a garbage performance, and 75% of it was Vernon.

From the very short time I spent watching some of the performance, it seemed like the vocalists I saw (Hagar, Ghost guy) seemed to be struggling with pitch. As if the key was a little bit out of their range, which is sort of surprising for Hagar...but then he is like 87 years old or something.
 
Hagar hasn't "sang" in key since 1971. He just growls now to anyone that will listen.
 
There was so much talent out there

And it was really cool that most bands played original music that was appropriate for the venue. I wish Metallica had played Sad but True but Creeping Death and Puppets were excellent choices

As mentioned Nuno and Zak were so good

Not doing the "everybody HOWWWLLL!!!" at the end was such a missed opportunity too.
 
I skimmed through a good bit of the show last night and agree with most of what has been said. Vernon shouldn't have been there, Nuno killed all night, and the stream mix was pretty consistently bad. That had to be a logistical nightmare though.
 
If Randy were alive, what song(s) would he have been allowed to play as part of a super group? And who would have been the other guitarist? John 5?
 
I was pretty stoked to hear Steven Tyler! I thought that his voice was forever gone but this makes me hopeful that we'll get Aerosmith back out one more go
