Lifelong Metallica fan, should I spend the £120 to see them at the O2?

I've only seen them with Jason.

As much as Cliff is a massive influence on me, Jason was the better fit. I haven't decided where I place RT yet. He's an amazing player too.

I agree, Rob is a great player but Jason just seemed to bring more to the band.

It's a shame he didn't write more. The first Flotsam and Jetsam album is incredible.

I suspect he wrote plenty. But James and Lars didn't let him in.

I haven't listened to that for 20 years.

I'm going to buy it.

That's inflation for you! Feel your pain but if you've not seen them, do it! 

Pearl Jam Manchester International 2 1992 £6 and we got to talk to Eddie before the gig!

I loved that album at the time, but listened to it a couple of years ago and found it hard work.  I should give it another go.

When he joined Metallica I thought oh, they'll be wanting him for his songwriting - and then they didn't let him do much at all.  I liked his singing contributions though.

Looks like your money was well spent

That looks like a pretty good show!

I might have to rip it and crank it through some proper speakers
