its the little enclosed pit within the stage extension like in this video

So, basically we can park at noon and tailgate. The parking staff is not set up to stop this. When do y'all want to do it?

I'm gonna throw a cooler in the truck for sh*ts

I feel stupid for not buying tickets to this

There's still a lot

Bow to leper messiah

i was debating whether i may go hit a bar for a bit, or litrally do as mentioned and just pre-game some parking lot beers. I probably wont leave my house in lolOTL til about 1:00ish

anything in the afternoon is pretty fair game as im flyin solo.

i would actually like to catch Volbeat/A7X opening, but arent hellbent on going in RIGHT when the doors open at 4:00 to stand around with my wang in my hand and $12 beers for 2 hours, Mix Master Mike warming up the crowd be damned, although it may be a better alternative than sweating said wang off outside.

One of the more underrated and one of my top 3 favorite Metallica songs.....

you just like that album cover because its bloody semen...

Guilty

This one came across the other day on my ITunes on shuffle while in the gym. Another great, underrated jam

This was in my earbud (hidden, thanks long hair) when I walked across the stage and shook my principal's hand. I thought it was sooo badass.

My neighbor and I are probably taking an uber to and from the show, but are interested in meeting up beforehand if the tailgate happens.

im out of town for the Deftones show or id probably be there ... but also, F the woodlands for rock shows

That is a good question. Probably not until 6ish at the earliest. Might hit the HOliday Inn bar pregame.

So are they gonna play Raining Blood to close the show as usual???

Are you going to come adult beverage with us on Sundee?

Snake pit gets you this close, and you only have to make your way through 20' of medium density people. And you are obviously sometimes behind them, sometimes they face you.






The GA area, you'd have to fight through 150' of high density people, and you still have a 5' barrier (about a 15' barrier if you are along the left/right edges). I don't even know that they sold snake pit passes outside of the 'experience packages', or if you win them. I won mine. I know every show, the metclub people comb the upper stands and upgrade a few random people to snake pit.

Here you see the buffer zone for the regular GA


Where as, in the snake pit, that catwalk was up against my chest.

Of course, they aren't always on the catwalk, they are on the 'main stage' area a bit too. That is like 8' high, and a huge 15' buffer zone between GA and it. If you are in snake pit, you walk in that buffer zone to enter the snake pit (no fighting through crowds); you walk under the catwalk into it. The catwalk then slopes down to bring them to about 4' high.




Snake pit was unbelievable. You're off looking one way looking at kirk, then all of a sudden your area lights up, you turn around and James is right behind you with spotlight on him. It's literally a 360 degree experience. You can't see Lars much, since he's main stage and back some, but they do seek and destroy on a secondary kit that pops up out of the front of the catwalk. So my view was like:




Between this and meet and greet (humblebrag), I will likely never have a concert experience like this again. My M/G win came with the snake pit upgrade, something I didn't even know until a few days later when I got the instruction email.
