Hey,
I was thrilled and amused by reading that Metallica will be performing live at blizzcon... I remember 1st time i saw them they had a stadium filled up with 50.000 fans so I guess its a pretty big band.
That moves the gaming world even closer to what it should be.
It is a big thing for me and big news.
Really happy even though I dont get to see them.

Metallica is one of the largest names in Metal History. They are kind of a big deal.

Damnit yougaize.
EDIT: Also, Metallica is like... the McDonalds of Metal.
McDonalds is the biggest name in restaurant history, doesn't mean you're a foodie if you spend your money there.

Maybe it's a big deal to the people who like that noise they call "music". Most of us real gamers could give less of a shit whether or not some band is playing at some gaming convention. Real gamers just care about quality games being made for us to play.

It seems for something Blizzard related, considering that 2 of their 3 main IP franchises involve mideival themes, they should get some good easy listening gothic metal there. Like Tristania.

Too bad the Anaheim Convention Center is not made for concerts and it will sounds like absolute SHIT like it does every year. Saw the Foo Fighters concert there during BlizzCon 2012 and the sound was just awful.

I think Blizzard had to go get Metallica to play blizzcon because there isn't really anything great to talk about this year? Another diablo or wow expansion? I don't really care about starcraft, heros of the storm or hearthstone. Metallica's first four albums were awesome.
Which Metallica songs would fit the themes of Blizzcon the most?
Personally I think:
Phantom Lord
Seek and Destroy
Metal Militia
Disposable Heroes
Damage Inc
Battery
Creeping Death
Fight Fire With Fire

Were a big deal when a hefty chuck of people on these forums weren't even born yet.
And it's not like they're not getting a huge check for it.
For a right amount of zeros they'll play at your birthday party.
So no, i don't see it as something meaningful to a gaming community.

After watching their documentary, I lost all respect for them.
I never knew the most "metal mother fuckers" in the industry acted like 14 year old children with trust funds.

^Obviously they are going to go for something easy listening and generic that non fans will at least feel, so they'll start playing the opening guitar riff in nothing else matters, when suddenly they realize that the battle.net downloader uses peer2peer file sharing protocols, and they'll go crazy and raze the whole place, and that will be Blizzcon 2014.

Meh, I probably won't go to any end concert again. The sound usually sucks, and having to sit through their joke of a company band isn't worth it, really. As soon as the concert starts is usually the best time to go hit up the bars in Anaheim anyway.
