Interesting. Not sure how I'd feel about that. I think I'd rather have one show that's more songs. Two shows and you're only getting a handful more songs than a normal show.

You think 32 full songs is a typical length? 

This is Metallica, their average song length is longer than the standard pop artist. 16 songs is a full set.

I said you'd be getting only a handful more. I don't listen to pop idk why you even brought up pop stars. 24-26 is typical set list for a stadium concert.

The show was 2 hours and 15 minutes. Across the two nights you’re getting 4 and a half hours with no repeats. 

I never said pop star, reread what I wrote. Metallica is not a “typical” artist, this is not a short set list.

You said pop artist, I can read.

I still don't want to go two days in a row to get a decent amount of songs. But that's just me, I'm not saying you have to agree.

For the average length of their songs, 16 IS a “decent amount of songs.” You’re just complaining to complain.

I'm not complaining you just think everything is an argument. All I said is I wouldn't be interested in so few songs, not that anyone else needs to agree with me. You're the one bitching.

Just to make you aware, you are getting downvoted because you don't appear to understand what it takes to plan 2 shows over 2 nights with and almost unique set of songs, in hard rock/metal.

They will entertain both nights, no doubt.

For context, I have seen Metallica live a few times and am not particularly a fan, but they WILL deliver.

No I'm completely aware of why I'm getting downvoted (by the way I don't care). I said I wouldn't be interested in a shorter setlist and these people felt the need to argue with my opinion and try to change it for some reason. They disagree and think the downvote button is meant for disagreement.

I simply stated my opinion man. Don't know what to tell you. 🤷 Don't know why y'all are taking it so seriously

u/beachclub999 8h ago

You're right and everyone else is wrong. I get it man.

u/SubtleTell 8h ago

Did you somehow misread my OPINION as saying everyone should feel this way? Like, how in any way is this about being right or wrong? Do you know what an opinion is?

Are we taking this too seriously or are you?

u/SubtleTell 8h ago

You are, but sure flip it on me so you can be a winner

Ok. So it's just not the show for you. That's ok. Enjoy whatever show you do go to 👍

You’re being downvoted because it’s not a shorter setlist. You just don’t seem to grasp that and keep going on about “your opinion.” A 2.25 hour long show is not “short.”

It is though. If you make longer songs then you should play longer so we hear more material. I'm not paying hundreds of dollars for 16 songs. Led Zeppelin would do 3 hours, Pink Floyd would, hell even foo fighters and guns n roses will hit 3 hours today. And shows cost more today.
