Metallica/ Armored Saint concert 40yrs ago today
40 years ago today — a night I’ll never forget. 🤘
I was lucky enough to witness Metallica on the final leg of their Ride the Lightning tour, with Armored Saint bringing the fire, fresh off their debut March of the Saint. The energy, the music, the crowd — it was pure magic.
But what made it even more unforgettable? Meeting the entire band at a signing at Sound Warehouse (RIP to that legendary spot on San Mateo/Menaul in Albuquerque, NM). They were so down-to-earth, and you could already feel they were destined for greatness.
And how’s this for some rock ‘n’ roll fate? Exactly one year later, on this same date, they dropped Master of Puppets — an album that would change everything.
