i had heard of metric before the concert, and i was interested in seeing what they were like. it was a typical tiny speakers in a cavernous stadium sound. they didn't convince me that they were unbelievably amazing and i have to get the discography, but at the same time i will listen to see if i hear some of their stuff on the radio or around the house. live music to me both captures and reflects the atmosphere of where and when it was played, and is usually a completely different experience than recorded sound. i have seen many bands live that i would never buy an album from, but after seeing them live i usually buy the record. it is a funny thing.

kudos to the nhl for giving a different band a chance to play.

i love 80s music and i would have been fine with that too. nickelback would also have been fine.

i thought 5 for fighting were good as well.

i guess i don't understand why people can't just like or not like music and have to bring the hate/love to the poster. i personally wouldn't have minded kiss, and while i wouldn't have picked iron maiden, i could understand why people would like to see them play live.

all in all though...it was a hockey game.
