Metallica is always great but this was a disappointment
by BA55I5T on 2023-08-23I love Metallica, this it my third time seeing them live and I have to say it was the worst of the 3. Nothing against Metallica themselves but just the overall organization and fell of the concert was horrible. The Olympic stadium is a horrible venue for a concert, the acoustics are bad and just the overall feel of the place just feels old. Not historic old like Massey hall, more just the feeling of why hasn't this place been knocked over yet. As well the fact that if your on the 400 level your alcohol options are either Coors light, or straight shots of liquor, they will not mix you a drink. As well they closed off the 3 roads around the stadium and told everyone to take transit, but then closed off a subway station forcing 85,000 to try to go into the same station at the same time. As well Montreal is a beautiful city and I had no issues with the people when exploring, but at the concert those were the most obnoxious people I have never met. I get being proud of where your from but in the middle of a song screaming "Quebecois"ever 45 seconds is just stupid. To add on to it all, whoever was mixing the sound must have been a 6 year old, nothing was leveled properly. For Pantera the second the drums started you couldn't hear a single other instrument. Same with Metallica, I could barely hear the bass but Kirk's solo's were way too loud. Again nothing against Metallica or their ability to perform, but if you ever see a concert at the Montreal Olympic stadium, DO NOT GO, it will be a waste of money.
