Lang lang was a very cool guy and is the UN's International Ambassador for Peace.
His life story is pretty dramatic. You should check it out.
I think in context, this may have been a career move... a way of attaching something to him other than classical piano.
I actually thought Bob Ezrin's arrangement was really cool (but then, I was also in the room when it was debuted, and energy was up.) Creating such a work of music for this ensemble would indeed be a challenge. Who better!?
Metallica have been fantastic to work with. Very gracious. Their crew is non-stop awesome.
IMHO Taylor Swift's band sounds better than Metallica (Youtube audio, of course).

Ulrich's hi-hat... headache!
No, he hasn't.
"Every Nails tour I’ve done, there’s been a different rig built. This one we’re doing now (the Tension 2013 tour) there’s no audio on the stage; it’s just a midi-switcher. In the rack offstage is a Kemper Profiler and that’s basically my amp source. I’ve got three drawers of pedals that live in the RJM switching system."
Not too impressed with Metallica. Their sound seemed dry and could have done without the piano.
Fun fact: Her song "Tim McGraw" is actually not about himretro_dad said:Maybe it's part of her masterplan to replace her and steal Tim McGraw away....then she can write another song about him
You know what I like about Metallica? They still do whatever the F**k they want since day one. :applause:
Seriously though, why are you watching, listening, and even posting about it if you are so tired of it?
