First Metallica experience

7/20/00 Giants Stadium, East Rutherford, NJ

My Tattoo the Earth Metallica Experience. Okay here is the whole story!

My friend Jess and I went to the stadium Very early and went to the met booth. (She had flown all the way from California.) They had made a mistake with where they put the booth the floor people couldn't get to it. So we were standing outside for hours waiting for them to work it out...finally this guy from the club called Steve came out and checked out cards and gave us tickets to be in a drawing to get back stage.

Well we waited another hour for the drawing...the good news was that they were taking ten of the floor people backstage and there were 8 of us. That soon changed and the bad news was that they found a few more of the floor people so now there were about 20+ tickets in the bucket...and they did a separate drawing for the stadium tickets inside.

They started picking tickets and all of the numbers were the lucky ones on the other side of the fence. We were all crying practically, but being good. Then he calls 303...I look down and go h...that's me. I was so calm I still can't believe it.

They finally brought us backstage where we waited a bit longer. I gave the kid next to me a pic for whoever came out to sign. He was really nice and I actually got to talk to some really GREAT people while waiting. All of a sudden there was a buzz and who comes walking out with Gio -JASON!!!!!!!!  So Jason signs the kid's stuff next to me and turns to me and says Hi. I said hi and handed him my shirt...he signed it...then I asked him to sign a photo, which he did.  Then said he would sign one more so I gave him a picture that Jackie (my daughter) drew of them. Well at this point he kind of flipped out over the drawing he thought it was great. I thanked him, he kept saying over and over this is so cool and really great. Then he said should I sign by me? I said yes, he goes which one is me...then he said wait...this one...and he pointed and asked right?

So then he signed it and went to move away, and stopped and came back and said what's this stand for...he was pointing to Lars drum kid...jacks had put a large PM on the bass drum...I said it stood for puppet master...Her favorite song! (Which is really Master of Puppets!) Jacks likes saying Puppet Master!

The concert was amazing...here are some tidbits on that:

I actually survived the FLOOR and several mosh pits thanks to Jess...We were about 15 feet from the stage...it was AMAZING!!! The raw energy that pours off of all of them is something to see live. When the show was over I was really pumped up! I was impressed with them, and impressed with the crowd. The age span was interesting. From the very young...to people even older then me. :D
 

Which Metallica member you identify with most. (Past, present, living, dead...)
 Jason.. I’ve actually met him three times now and he was really wonderful. He was kind and went way beyond my expectations.
