    They played at the Shoreline? I know they played at the Concord Pavilion (as well as Irvine Meadows Amphitheatre in LA, which is where I went), but I wasn't aware of a SF show.

And you'd probably never guess it.
    Uhh...hate to burst your bubble here...but Lifeson plays guitar. Neil Peart is the drummer in Rush.

    - i didn't get my drivers license until i was 19 (had permit at 15, but was in germany when it expired...)
    - almost 20 and have lived in germany for a total of 8 years
    - 100% bavarian
    - i grew up on Metallica, Danzig, The Cult, Billy Idol and Kenny G

    - Lars Ulrich convinced roomate James Hetfield to sing and play guitar for his band, which he didn't have. the next day, they (along with Robert Tanner) recorded a song for Metal Blade Record's Metal Massacre compilation album.

    - Kirk Hammett had the top bunk on the tour bus that killed Cliff Burton but lost it when they drew cards the night of the accident.

    - the only big bands i've ever seen live are Puddle of Mudd (free concert), Edguy and Aerosmith (on the roof of a building OUTSIDE of the concert area) and ZZ Top (almost center stage!)
    If it ain't broke, fix it 'til it is!
