This song was my wedding song in 1998. My parents didn't like my girl. I loved her immediately. It was such an issue, I had to choose between a life without her or without my parents...... Sooooo happy I choose my girl. LOVE HER....... And nothing else matters....
Was gonna say the same. He must've heard it. Unfortunately, there is a moment where you just run out of music. Music is infinite (actually it isn't and you can calculate it , but let it slide), but there is a finite amount of music.
I'm just an old man and these songs are my life's soundtrack. Good job, young man. These videos have me jamming out and they make me happy. I appreciate what you do.
In this video, James was playing a 12 string/6 string combo. 12 string guitars have a mixture of two octaves - the strings sit next to eachother so you can play normally and create a bigger, fuller sound. Jimmy Page from Led Zeppelin famously used a 12/6 combo and guitar virtuoso Steve Vai even has a 3 neck guitar. Shred guitarist Michael Angelo Batio has used guitars with up to four necks and he is capable of ambidextrous play. The guitar would have 2 necks available for either hand!
I think Alex should react to Led Zeppelin. This band influenced so many rock and metal groups. And like you said (and I said it to in a comment to one of the previous Alex's video when he reacted to Zakk Wylde) Jimmy Page made 2 neck guitars famous.
Some people don't like when they have to read more than 1 line. I think your comment was good, answering the double neck guitars question. The main idea is to have 2 instruments merged into only one item. You can check "Andy McKee - Into the ocean" for an other example of instruments merged into one.
The entire "Black Album" is an absolute masterpiece in my opinion. And you have to listen to it from beginning to end, no skipping. That being said, solid reaction.
If you are going to talk about a masterpiece.. then go no further than Master of Puppets! Black was great, but not like puppets was. Black was the beginning of the commercial watered down metallica.
I think the 4 best Metallica albums are the Black Album, Master of Puppets Album, the Ride the Lightning Album, and .....and justice for all Album, but i cannot rank them because all of them are equally awesome
@@cassidymartin1151 u fucking ignorant... Black Album is the worst methallica album u know why? CUZ ITS COMMERCION.... best albums for true fan are: Kill'rm All, Ride the Lightning, Master of Puppets (little overrated) and maybe Hardwired, but its not that Metallica anymore. So stop sayin' that Metallica (album) and And Justice for all... were best cuz they sucked... Justice has the worst mastering ever, just after Death Magnetic and St. Anger. Goodbye
Yeah i was typing out a response and seen this one lol Yeah Its just basically so they can have 2 different sounding guitars without having to swap mid song or whatever.
2 neck guitar usually has a mix of a 12 string guitar and a 6 string guitar. Gives you 2 different sounds without having to switch guitars. Also, can you react to MEGADETH- Shewolf? Loving your honest opinions on this music, keep it up!
It's great for songs that utilise both guitars in parts for one musician. That way when performing they don't have to switch instruments inbetween. There's different mixtures as well. In the video it was a 12- and a 6-string, but there's all sorts of different combinations even with bass guitars or just two different tunings for a 6-string.
If anyone really believes that all these videos are really his "first time" hearing these songs and that he isn't bamboozling you into a view so ha can get paid, you're a moron.
The double neck guitar looks amazing! Plus you can have two types of tuning on one guitar so you don't have to swap mid song and you can go back and forth.
Alex, we aint gonna stop requesting *A Little Piece of Heaven* with your Girl pleaseeeee🙏🙏🙏 The level of eagerness is like waiting for Mgk diss by Em all over again, seriously bro !!🤘🤘
Double neck guitars showcase two different kinds of guitars. In most cases the top neck is a 12 string, and the bottom is a standard 6 string. If you search G3 Steve Vai "I Know Your'e Here", you'll see a triple neck with top being 12 string, middle 6 string, and bottom 6 string with no frets to get a violin or slide like sound. Love the videos man! Metallica changed my life when i was 7 and my father put a cassette in in his work truck coming home. We played "Enter Sandman" over and over for weeks. Little did I know there we many more on the "Black Album", yet many many more great songs on their albums. Metallica is the greatest man. But watch that Steve Vai video lol. You won't be disappointed. He also uses a relay switch on his floor board to repeat certain riffs over. Enjoy :)
I don't know which option you should choose. I could never advise you on that... No matter what kind of wisdom dictates you the option you pick, no one will be able to tell if it's right or wrong until you arrive to some sort of outcome from your choice.
When I met my future wife, we were both Big Metallica fans , and after we got engaged we said that , this would be our first dance at our wedding. Ten years later, it was, 12 years after that, still makes me smile like the most blessed man on the planet😊
On the making of the black album video (where that footage came from), you can tell James is nervous about how people would react to this softer album. The fan base was used to Master of Puppets and Four Horsemen, and he was putting out stuff like this. Fans, naturally, loved it, because good music is not confined to labels like "hard" or "soft."
He said he has the reaction already recorded and he's going to release the video once he hits 200.000 subs. So we will all get the video very very soon. ;)
I hope this reaches you, Alex Hefner. Coming from a guy whos been a Metallica fan for about 18 years now (aka half my life), I would like to encourage your to try a few things. First. You listens a lot to the lyrics and really like a good song (Seems that way to me anyway), I gotta suggest you to listen to Metallica - Sanitarium (Welcome home) for the lyrics. It's insane. And if you really like Hetfields voice. Do try Metallica - Moth into Flame from their latest album. Obviously a lot has changed since the songs you are listening to now and this, are about 20 years apart. But I really feel his voice finds a new era in this song. Last but not least. GO TO A CONCERT WITH METALLICA. Even if you don't like the music it is a fantastic experience. Last time I saw them in Denmark, they asked a kid his age (11) meanwhile I was standing close to a couple that must have been around their 70's. And standing just 10 meters away from stage I had a pregnant girl next time (Visible pregnant). Only 1 time did she creep a bit in behind me cause a couple in front was dancing a bit wild. Only thing I did was calmly put my arm around the guy when he came a bit close, and just let him know there was a pregnant girl behind him. He instantly smiled, congratulated her, and took his girlfriend a few feet down the line, so they could dance without being afraid of hitting Preggo, should one of them loose footing (A lot of empty cups was on the floor). And that was it. No drama was had. Everyone at these concerts are friendly and just want a good time. IT's the best metal experience you can have, if you don't wanna go fight in a mosh pit, or the likes.
I did security at a max security psychward, had a patient who would play sanitarium on repeat. The lyrics are so deep and true. Especially from the unique perspective I had from being there 😭
YOU REALLY HAVE BEEN LIVING UNDER A ROCK OMG HOW THE HELL YOU HAVEN'T HEARD THIS SONG BEFORE Also, I'm pretty sure that if you react to St. Anger you will consider it a masterpiece or something.
Some people just don't listen to certain kinds of music. The St. Anger thing is just plain wrong too. Nobody considers that a masterpiece. Even people who don't listen to Metallica agree that album sucks
If anyone really believes that all these videos are really his "first time" hearing these songs and that he isn't bamboozling you into a view so ha can get paid, you're a moron.
@@frigglediggle2 Pretty sure "first time" just means first time actually caring about the fact that it's playing, but why not name it a little clickbaity when you go through the effort of making and uploading videos with the potential to make some money off them?
We played this song at my brother's funeral as Metallica was his all time favourite band. Nearly 2 & a half years later I still struggle to listen to this song because I instantly start crying
The absolute most beautiful love song of all time. I have cried every single time i've heard it, from the first time to this time, and every time in the future, beausse its that pure.
Before people start yapping away.. alex my man let me share this sentiment with you... This was the album that drew the line for die hard old school fans and made them say that the tallica lads sold out and went main stream.. thats their perspective and their opinion which i respect however in my opinion this particular album put Metallica on the global map.. and to be fair.. i dont give a shit if they went mainstream.. Music is subjective and its all about expression and this particular song imo shows the human side the fragile and vulnerable side of the band... Dont care what anyone says.. Nothing Else matters had to be made... no matter what... Love the song.. love the band.. love your reaction.. keep it going 🖤🖤🖤🖤
I agree many people where like metallica is dead now when that album came out. But it was the exact opposite. They got radio play with enter sandman and people got to actually listen to them the first time. First time i ever saw them live was in '92 with guns n roses. Metallica imo is still the best band ever.
Funny thing is just about any other heavy metal band will say that Metallicas black album was responsible for taking Metal around the world and opened the door for bands today to tour world wide
Metallica: The Thing That Should Not Be Live (Seattle - 89) It’s probably the best live performance of that song. It’s also my favourite song form the MoP album.
Tallica fan since 88 and I hate this song with a passion. I just don't appreciate James' voice for this kind of song. Even earlier stuff like Fade to Black and the First 2 verses of One. I just don't enjoy the sound of James' voice over a soft and subtle score. I don't think they mesh well.
Hey Alex! This is a truly magnificent song. It sounds simplistic, but it has a lot of depth. They asked Michael Kamen (a famous British composer) to enrich their sound on this track and he wrote the orchestral lines that (due to Lars Ulrich's ego) can barely be heard. There is the "Elevator version" that was a B' side on the "Sad but true" single where the orchestral lines are clearer and it gives you an impression of a different song. This is what defines a great song. For each one to play it in his own way and always sounds amazing. Shakira played it with Spanish guitars, Apocalyptica played it in cellos, even Gregorian played it in a church choir way and it ALWAYS sounds amazing! Keep up the good work and have a dope ass day!!!! Greetings from Athens, Greece!
Bro, listen to Apocalyptica's cover of this song. It lacks the vocals, but it's so beautiful, it doesn't need them! Also, if you want amazing messages in a metal song, try "We Are the Others" by Delain or "Light Me Up" by Kobra and the Lotus. In my opinion, these two songs are songs everyone needs to hear, if only for the lyrics. They are near and dear to my heart, and I would be interested to see what you have to say about them.
I've literally been listening to Metallica since conception so I don't remember what it's like to listen to Metallica for the first time, but your videos bring me such joy. I can experience it vicariously through you. You have such an expressive face and you don't hold back at all and I AM LIVING FOR IT!
You gotta listen to A Little Piece of Heaven by Avenged Sevenfold. It’s another love song, but a little bit twisted. They play that song every time for their encore, and I know you’ll love it!
Easily my favorite song growing up. So glad you enjoyed it Alex, it's such an amazing feeling to see someone experience something you love for the very first time.
Dude. I came across your channel like 5 years ago and was impressed with how you were able to accept new music. Just came back.....holy shit....a dyed in the wool Metallica fan....bad asss.
i tell you man ,i heard this song million times ,but i not saw the vídeo,because is a song to listen and feel, so many trues in this words...Congrats for the channel...
Seeing you appreciate this shit takes me back to when I was young and hearing them for the first time. It is quite amazing. It's hard to find anything new of such high caliber.
Ahhhh!!! One of my favorite Metallica songs, but come on man! Nightwish, Epica, Within Temptation, Voyager, Sabaton, Sonata Arctica, Blind Guardian, Stratovarius, Orden Ogan, Savatage, After Forever, Delain, Symphony X, Iced Earth, Helloween, Dream Evil, Fear Factory, Amaranthe, etc, etc. So many bands in so many genres you are missing out on while you do repeats! You do an awesome job which is why I'm hoping to get you to explore these bands that I and a lot of others want to expose you to!
Please react blackened, the four horsemen, the thing that should not be or harvester of sorrows by Metallica. They are all amazing songs. Glad to see another metallica song being reacted today
I get in certain moods every now and then and listening to Metallica is where I’m at now. I love to see people from different musical background listen and discover music that that wouldn’t have listened to regularly. I’ve been loving your reactions and I like the fact that you do some research on the band before you listen to them.
Nothing else matters makes me feel like no other music at all! This is a f**ing masterpiece indeed! something to try: Avantasia > the scarecrow (the flying opera live) Metallica> Whiskey in the jar Rise against> Savior Primal Fear> Riding the Eagle Primal Fear> Inseminoid Bloodbound> Iron Throne Powerwolf> Amem & Attack Powerwolf> Armata Strigoi Thunderstone> Solid Ground Thunderstone> Tool of the devil Dionysus> Eyes of the world
you should listen Metallica "unforgiven" and "unforgiven 2"... I remember back in the days early 90's they played those three songs "nothing else matters", "unforgiven" and "unforgiven 2" in every junior high school party😎 perfect songs to cuddle and make out with gf 👌😜😁👍 oh those were the days...
Metallica is my favourite band!!! Anytime I’m in hard times their music always helps me to realise that everything is going to be ok in the end. Can you react to Metallica - Turn the page. Your reaction vids are amazing keep it up !!
most often a double neck is so you can have two guitars tuned differently for two different sounds and dont have to try to pick up a different guitar midperformance. it makes things easier for the guitar player.
Nothing else matters is a song that means a lot to me. For me it was the song of my childhood. My dad played it so much and i heard it so often. Also it was one of the First songs i learned on guitar...just amaizing
@@vuicivalentin82 Then let me bring you some good news S&M2 will be played September 6th 2019 for the 20th anniversary, can only hope for the best, see: www.metallica.com/news/2019-03-18-s-and-m-2.html
Just bought Metallica tickets yesterday. 100€ per ticket, but totally worth it. I'm glad that you're revisiting metallica, but also shocked that you haven't heard of Nothing Else Matters. I mean even many of our german mainstream radio stations still play it ocasionnally ^^ Oh and also please check out Polyphia and Animals as Leaders at some point. It's quite different than the stuff you're used to now, but incredible from a technical and musical standpoint :)
Kimberly Hamrick Well i guess i got lucky, that i got a code to buy tickets, before the official sale started ^^ Or was that the original price? Because that would be crazy ^^ Here in europe i saw nothing beyond 160€ or 180€

They were never your family to begin with, if you really had to choose between them or something else.
True family members would never do that.

Double guitar necks is usually either a six string and a twelve string guitar (Jimmy Page) or two six string guitars tuned differently.
some also have one hollow-body (electric) or even acoustic guitar together with a solid-body electric guitar
Thank you for explaining it more effectively than I was.
Couldn't have said it better
Yeah i was typing out a response and seen this one lol Yeah Its just basically so they can have 2 different sounding guitars without having to swap mid song or whatever.
and the choosen one (Steve Vai) uses a 3 neck guitar lol

sometimes you can have one freatboard with frets.. and another with fretless to give you more options..
@@misterwonka8001 Or even fretless ones and frets on another, and a 3rd to have say 7 or 12 string, or even a fanned fret or fretless bass.

One neck is a 12 string, one is a 6 string. Its so when your playing live you don’t have to switch actual guitars to change your sound

This was the album that drew the line for die hard old school fans and made them say that the tallica lads sold out and went main stream.. thats their perspective and their opinion which i respect however in my opinion this particular album put Metallica on the global map.. and to be fair.. i dont give a shit if they went mainstream..
Music is subjective and its all about expression and this particular song imo shows the human side the fragile and vulnerable side of the band...
Dont care what anyone says.. Nothing Else matters had to be made... no matter what...
Love the song.. love the band.. love your reaction.. keep it going 🖤🖤🖤🖤
I agree many people where like metallica is dead now when that album came out. But it was the exact opposite. They got radio play with enter sandman and people got to actually listen to them the first time. First time i ever saw them live was in '92 with guns n roses. Metallica imo is still the best band ever.
Funny thing is just about any other heavy metal band will say that Metallicas black album was responsible for taking Metal around the world and opened the door for bands today to tour world wide
@@afewminuteswithchrispycubi8945 100% agree...
to top it all off to this day the black album is still selling copies worldwide
@@DanShiraz pretty sure im not the only one but as soon as i heard the black album i went and bought every other one they had back then.
@@metalmaniac8640 i must agree with that.
I was fortunate to see these guys in the 90's...beyond amazing
This song gives me goose bumps every time
Metallica: The Thing That Should Not Be Live (Seattle - 89)
It’s probably the best live performance of that song. It’s also my favourite song form the MoP album.
I get butterflies when I play this solo perfect
You have to listen to Harvester of sorrow Moscow 1991 live..... One of the greatest Metallica performances ever, the energy if amazing
Tallica fan since 88 and I hate this song with a passion. I just don't appreciate James' voice for this kind of song. Even earlier stuff like Fade to Black and the First 2 verses of One. I just don't enjoy the sound of James' voice over a soft and subtle score. I don't think they mesh well.
Something off Kill ‘em All would be nice. The Four Horsemen... Whiplash... Hit the lights.

@@kingflex1029 seek and FUCKING destroy my guy you are right
Jump in the fire is FIRE
capoocha,
Blitzkrieg!
Hey Alex! This is a truly magnificent song. It sounds simplistic, but it has a lot of depth. They asked Michael Kamen (a famous British composer) to enrich their sound on this track and he wrote the orchestral lines that (due to Lars Ulrich's ego) can barely be heard. There is the "Elevator version" that was a B' side on the "Sad but true" single where the orchestral lines are clearer and it gives you an impression of a different song. This is what defines a great song. For each one to play it in his own way and always sounds amazing. Shakira played it with Spanish guitars, Apocalyptica played it in cellos, even Gregorian played it in a church choir way and it ALWAYS sounds amazing!
Keep up the good work and have a dope ass day!!!!
Greetings from Athens, Greece!
Thank you, Alex Hefner. This video is going to make my day!
Mine too :)
Bro, listen to Apocalyptica's cover of this song. It lacks the vocals, but it's so beautiful, it doesn't need them!
Also, if you want amazing messages in a metal song, try "We Are the Others" by Delain or "Light Me Up" by Kobra and the Lotus. In my opinion, these two songs are songs everyone needs to hear, if only for the lyrics. They are near and dear to my heart, and I would be interested to see what you have to say about them.
I've literally been listening to Metallica since conception so I don't remember what it's like to listen to Metallica for the first time, but your videos bring me such joy. I can experience it vicariously through you. You have such an expressive face and you don't hold back at all and I AM LIVING FOR IT!
React to *In this Moment* ! You'll fall for Maria Brink so hard !
Yes! Too many to choose from!!
Roots, Joan of arc, whore, Adrenalize....this goes on and on!!!
In this moment
You gotta listen to A Little Piece of Heaven by Avenged Sevenfold. It’s another love song, but a little bit twisted. They play that song every time for their encore, and I know you’ll love it!
Philip Matthew Di Salvo yyeess fucckk
but, alive version, with the rev /,,/
Easily my favorite song growing up. So glad you enjoyed it Alex, it's such an amazing feeling to see someone experience something you love for the very first time.
Alex! Gotta do some or all of these:
Pink Floyd - Time
Metallica - Blackened
Foo Fighters - Everlong
Rage Against the Machine - Fistful of Steel
Dude!
This is meant to be a metal reaction to METAL!
Floyd and Grohl do not belong here.
\m/
Love when they play this live James holds the last note of that solo and goes straight into enter sandman
Mate, at my wedding we had a harpist playing this song during the ceremony....Metal wedding
Thats fucking AWESOME! Cheers to you and yours!
React to Sons of Winter and Stars by Wintersun @(Sonic Pump Studios). Also, what in the hell happened to your damn phone

Metallica - The Unforgiven
Nightwish - Ghost Love Score
Children of Bodom - Kissing the Shadows or Everytime I Die
Wintersun - Sons of Winter and Star
Great list! I might only add some Amorphis to this 😁
@@tinaaikaa77 How about Amorphis - Under The Red Cloud?

A long ass fucking time ago....
@@makkieskates8631 In a town called Kickapoo...
@@BrianNichols85 there live a humble family
I’ve been listening to Metallica since the early 80’s
I think you can collect your prize now
Seeing you appreciate this shit takes me back to when I was young and hearing them for the first time. It is quite amazing. It's hard to find anything new of such high caliber.
My late wife and I had this at our wedding. It’s such an amazing song.
Ahhhh!!! One of my favorite Metallica songs, but come on man! Nightwish, Epica, Within Temptation, Voyager, Sabaton, Sonata Arctica, Blind Guardian, Stratovarius, Orden Ogan, Savatage, After Forever, Delain, Symphony X, Iced Earth, Helloween, Dream Evil, Fear Factory, Amaranthe, etc, etc. So many bands in so many genres you are missing out on while you do repeats!
You do an awesome job which is why I'm hoping to get you to explore these bands that I and a lot of others want to expose you to!
Good list! I might add my favourites Amorphis and Wintersun to that 😁
Symphony X is the best band
Respect sir
Shit Amaranthe Released a new song recently called countdown, he should give that one a shot
great reaction! Amazing song... bless from Chile!
ALEX you must hear Allegaeon! A great introduction would be “Proponent for Sentience III “. You’ll definitely love it bruh
Please react blackened, the four horsemen, the thing that should not be or harvester of sorrows by Metallica. They are all amazing songs. Glad to see another metallica song being reacted today
I get in certain moods every now and then and listening to Metallica is where I’m at now.
I love to see people from different musical background listen and discover music that that wouldn’t have listened to regularly.
I’ve been loving your reactions and I like the fact that you do some research on the band before you listen to them.
"The Unforgiven" is another great Metallica song
Nothing else matters makes me feel like no other music at all!
This is a f**ing masterpiece indeed!
something to try:
Avantasia > the scarecrow (the flying opera live)
Metallica> Whiskey in the jar
Rise against> Savior
Primal Fear> Riding the Eagle
Primal Fear> Inseminoid
Bloodbound> Iron Throne
Powerwolf> Amem & Attack
Powerwolf> Armata Strigoi
Thunderstone> Solid Ground
Thunderstone> Tool of the devil
Dionysus> Eyes of the world
Great videos man, congratulations. Awasome the focus you put in the music...
Fun fact: Jimmy Page invented the double neck guitar!!
That wasn't fun
My all time favorite band and this is one of the greatest songs ever 💕
The part right after the solo, the really soft one with James almost whispering the words, always give me goosebumps and tears in my eyes
you should listen Metallica "unforgiven" and "unforgiven 2"... I remember back in the days early 90's they played those three songs "nothing else matters", "unforgiven" and "unforgiven 2" in every junior high school party😎 perfect songs to cuddle and make out with gf 👌😜😁👍 oh those were the days...
Early 90's? Unforgiven 2 came out in '98.
ROFL
yeah I forgot when that song was released... I thought it was earlier... 1998 I was 20 and in non-military service 😅 my memories are little fuzzy
KingNothing 97’ spastic
Metallica is my favourite band!!! Anytime I’m in hard times their music always helps me to realise that everything is going to be ok in the end. Can you react to Metallica - Turn the page. Your reaction vids are amazing keep it up !!
Played in 3/4. I'm so glad you're learning guitar bc this music is going to mean so much to you when you can explain what you're actually hearing.
Sabaton - the last stand
Or Sparta,Primo Victoria, Hell and Back.
Nelayo Isso GHOST DIVISION!!
@@Den_Dre Panzerkampf!!!!
It is a good one
most often a double neck is so you can have two guitars tuned differently for two different sounds and dont have to try to pick up a different guitar midperformance. it makes things easier for the guitar player.
Thank you so much I've always loved this song but never thought of the message
React to Batmetal
I know I say this a lot, but I really want you to see it :D
Edit: Batmetal first, then Returns and Forever
I second this!
Returns and Forever too
@@chandakhamknight398 yes. Let's hope he doesn't get confused and watch Forever first XD
Senor_Onion he needs to watch in chronological order 😂
Defo
*Wintersun-Sons of winter and stars*
Soon
I hope so
Live@Sonic pump studios. It's better than studio version
Man, you have to watch Nothing Else Matters and their first S&M concert!!
It is so beautiful!!
Do Metallica's Until it Sleeps next! My favorite Metallica song!
Mine too 😊
Mine too 😊
White Zombie - More Human than Human
How I felt when I first heard this song lol always gives me goosebumps, till this dayyyyyy
That guitar is called a "12/6 double neck"
It's a 12 string on the top neck and a standard 6 string on the bottom neck ;)
While She Sleeps - Silence Speaks ft. Oli Sykes
I'been request that song a month ago. Im suffering 😣
Nothing else matters is a song that means a lot to me. For me it was the song of my childhood. My dad played it so much and i heard it so often. Also it was one of the First songs i learned on guitar...just amaizing
But It does persist perpetually ...cause Metallica is timeless🔥
Since you were amazed by the original, go and watch the S&M version.
That's when they did a show with a symphonic orchestra!
It's amazing!!!
For me, that`s the best version of this song.
@@vuicivalentin82 Then let me bring you some good news S&M2 will be played September 6th 2019 for the 20th anniversary, can only hope for the best, see: www.metallica.com/news/2019-03-18-s-and-m-2.html
You're such a good guy, Alex ... love your reactions. Keep it up. Salut from Denmark, Europe.
They touring right now and their sound is best live. Also look at their symphonic stuff, it's damn amazing.
Just bought Metallica tickets yesterday. 100€ per ticket, but totally worth it.
I'm glad that you're revisiting metallica, but also shocked that you haven't heard of Nothing Else Matters. I mean even many of our german mainstream radio stations still play it ocasionnally ^^
Oh and also please check out Polyphia and Animals as Leaders at some point. It's quite different than the stuff you're used to now, but incredible from a technical and musical standpoint :)
Yan Bär I paid $400 a ticket for mine and I can't wait!!
Kimberly Hamrick Well i guess i got lucky, that i got a code to buy tickets, before the official sale started ^^ Or was that the original price? Because that would be crazy ^^ Here in europe i saw nothing beyond 160€ or 180€
Yan Bär I bought 3 tickets for 160€ and those weren't the lowest one for 2019.09.14 in Romania :)
Bought One for 80€ also yesterday, for Portugal
