Concert ticket from 12/31/1999 - Metallica’s Motor City Millenium

Believe me, Kid Rock was a douchebag before his politics came out and Ted Nugent was already a racist loon in 1999. I sure as fuck didn’t think they were cool and I was 20 in ‘99

You want me to actually find evidence of them being jag offs or do you have google?

The Pontiac Silverdome is now a giant Amazon distribution center. The Palace is gone now, too.

This might be the saddest thing I've read today. Not that I've ever been there or even live in the state, just the fact that it's now an amz distro center.

My brother Jaime was there. He won tickets off the radio.

My tickets came from ICQ. The old chat program. Got them COD in the US mail. How much more Xennial does it get?

I stood in line at some stand-alone record shop that had a Ticketmaster inside of it to get mine.

103.9 The Bear in Indiana gave away a whole bunch of stuff around then. My brother won those tickets. The next week my other brother won $100 and the week after I won tickets to see RATM down in New Orleans. They paid for hotel, airfare, concert tickets and gave me $100 for meals. I remember it all started with that Metallica show though. Good times.

I saw this tour a few weeks later in Milwaukee, and I remember Kid Rock still had the diminutive rapper Joe-C with him.

[-]

OG_Cryptkeeper@reddit (OP)

Joe C came out for our show as well. Along with blowup Jim Beam bottles and pole dancers.

I was there! What a show!

[-]

OG_Cryptkeeper@reddit (OP)

It was amazing.

blimpcitybbq@reddit

I was there and still have the t shirt. We got there right when the doors opened because we had GA floor seats. We got super lucky and got in the snake pit.

[-]

OG_Cryptkeeper@reddit (OP)

I had the Pushead shirt with the skull wearing the party hat.

I was telling my friends about this show the other day. I mentioned that nobody cared when Sevendust opened but I was a huge fan. It felt weird to see them playing with all the house lights on and not much love.

[-]

ReverendHambone@reddit

Man, I love Sevendust. And they just got heavier and heavier.

[-]

blimpcitybbq@reddit

I caught one of the drumsticks they threw after their set. Gave it to the guy next to me.

Winwookiee@reddit

It was sad to see the silverdome deteriorate to the point it did before they demolished it. I caught a couple Lions games there (go Barry!) but never saw a concert there. We always ended up at Pine Knob for concerts.

17 year old me didn’t know any of this and enjoyed the show.

It’s ok to enjoy the show AND acknowledge that Ted Nugent is a Pedo

Ted Nugent is a pedo

pick_up_a_brick@reddit

Hell yeah! I was there! Metallica played about every song you’d ever want them to. Got there just as Sevendust was wrapping up. I remember them playing Walk by Pantera. Show was lit. Even Ted put on a great show. This was before we all knew how fucking crazy he was.

I was at their show the next day in Cleveland, OH. They played with Kid Rock and Sevendust. The PA system was shit and failed a number of times in both opening sets.
