Metallica "Through the never" Première @ Grand Rex, Paris Oct 08 2013 9pm

Metallica "Through the never" Première @ Grand Rex, Paris Oct 08 2013 9pm

After seeing both Lars & Kirk @ Fnac store this afternoon, it's time for the Première in Paris from "Through the never". Many fans payed up to 60 euros to attend this event.

The Grand Rex is one of the most beautiful theater in Paris and as you can see on the pic above the front of the theater is decorated with Metallica images ( thanks to 3 digital screens).

Kirk and Robert already attended a Lou Reed concert here a couple of years ago (click for the pic)

The band is on time as it's broadcasted in more than a 100 cinemas in France and Belgium, starting with a couple of interviews outside in front of the theater and signing a few cds for fans and ebay sellers, then it's a photo-call in front of the backdrop (see pics above).

Lars and Kirk are getting into the hall from the back of the venue to the stage to the surprise of fans who can shake hands with both of them. (Video here and here)  Everything is going smoothly as there is security everywhere, I mean everywhere !!! But the guys are cool.
Official METALLICA video from the Q&A here.

Lars & Kirk are taking a seat on stage and answering a few questions for 20 min+ (see video below) and are making a quick exit backstage, only to go back in front of the backdrop at the entrance for some more interviews while fans are putting their 3d glasses on and enjoying the movie.

 The 3D is quite amazing, live footage is stunning but I have many doubts about the rest, it's complete nonsense, though it's very well recorded with some stunning effects but the movie is ending abruptly with everyone wondering: what the fuck ?!? Is that it ? very strange.

That was a great Metallica day for us.

Metallica Masterclass for "Through the never" @ Fnac Ternes, Paris Oct 08 2013 4pm

Metallica Masterclass for "Through the never" @ Fnac Ternes  Paris Oct 08 2013 4pm

It was supposed to be Lars & Robert Trujillo, in fact it's Lars & Kirk. "Masterclass" with Metallica @ Fnac Ternes on the 4th floor (Kids floor).
Surprisingly there's no riot, I mean I was expecting more than a thousand people and there are probably 200 people in this tiny room, security asking people to seat down so that everybody can have a good view. So apart from the heat , conditions are (almost) perfect.
Lots of media down the front and the interview is conducted by the one and only Philippe Manoeuvre from Rock & Folk mag.

Fans are getting a bit crazy when Lars & Kirk arrived but they all behaved themselves.
It looks like Lars is happy to end this promotional trek tomorrow in Spain and he's been talking about this movie for the last 5 weeks and it took two years to make it.
The band financed this project themselves but Lars was reluctant talking about money, he did most of the talking.
Full interview on video available here and the official video from the Fnac store is here.

Next stop is tonight with the premiere with Lars & Kirk @ Grand Rex Theater.

 One hour of question & Answer with METALLICA , well... Lars and Kirk

Nice seeing both of them for an hour of Q/A

Babyshambles @ Zénith, Paris Oct 03 2013

Babyshambles @ Zénith, Paris Oct 03 2013

After playing a 30 min show, the first one in many years @ République in Paris in July, BABYSHAMBLES  are back in Paris for a proper show @ Zénith.
It's a small Zénith and it's far from being full, We'd rather not mention the French band that we saw opening just before, I guess I'm too old for that crap.

Long intermission, too long but beautiful backdrop ( It's the artwork for the new album). The more we listen to the new album , the more we like it. Maybe not as rock as the previous one with a bit of reggae, a bit of cabaret, some slower songs... but great songs ( Fireman, Nothing comes..., Maybelline...)

Straight from the beginning we can notice that Peter is wasted ( as usual) and not respecting the original setlist as they're starting the gig with a kick ass version of "Pipedown, then "Delivery" and new single "Nothing comes..." Great start as we have 3 great songs.

Unfortunately it won't last long, there are always talks between songs to see what's next and Peter seems to do what he pleases with the band trying to follow him.
Sometimes it's sounding more like a public rehearsals than a proper concert.
Then we have an acoustic part with Peter alone on stage, I guess I was attending a Babyshambles' gig ?! 

We even have one of the dancing girl singing one song with him ! What the Fuck !!!

Is it Peter & Co or Babyshambles ?

After attending their comeback show @ Republique, where the band was really tight I was expecting a better gig than this one, Hoped the band would be tighter, I guess we can put the blame on Peter's attitude.Too bad.

Did we really need to hear "La Marseillaise" or "Les Copains d'abord"?

A good 90 min show but a bit disappointed.
