Outdoor Soccer Stadium, Athens, Greece
Opened For: Metallica
Just before they came on, the stage filled with smoke, and the drum
set rose from below - it was awesome. The drum set was all gold ( Sonor)
make. The crowd reacted to the drums, they looked like pure gold!
The opening song was New York City! It sounded aesome! Billy had
his hair cut, and Ian's hair was still long. The Greek croud quickly
formed a mosh pit. The played for about an hour. The stadium was situated
in right in the middle of a neigborhood full of apartment buildings. Many
of these buildings were even higher that the stadium, so people were able
to watch the concert for free. It was funny, because Ian commented on this!
In a joking way!
I can't remember the entire song list, but they played all the hits -
nothing from Ceremony. They played The Witch which sounded awesome!
After the good hour, Metallica hit the stage.

The day I will never forget... "The Cult" were support group of Metallica, but,
they were trully "HEADLINERS". I just wanna say that I live and die for them and
if Ian Astbury will ever see these lines, I remember to him that: in that concert
he promissed that he will come back again in Greece. I have been waiting for 8
years and I hope that in this year's tour will come. P.S.: I have a t-shirt from
Ian that he throught in the audience and I caught it.
