    Best concert of my life was when I was 17 years old. They came and played a small club (that alone blew my mind) on Dec. 14, 1999. I still have the ticket stub. It was at Ground Zero in Spartanburg SC. Lineup was Dave and David obviously, but Marty was still with them, and so was Menza. To this day I have never heard a louder concert. There are no words for being less than 6 feet away from these four icons of metal. I caught a pick from Dave as well I still have. I mean... I was still in high school when I went to that show. That astounds me to this day how lucky I was.

      Lars could play it, being able is not his problem. Playing it and staying on the beat is his problem. When Master of Puppets came out I thought Lars was the best drummer in the world. I played battery to my instructor at school. He said "go home and put a metronome to that, then come talk to me tomorrow." Next day he saw me come in heart broken, he said "and that is the best take they kept on the album". As I was walking away, he handed me a tape and said, now go home and try to play this." IT was Slayer "Rein in Blood".
