inkman Posted November 10, 2009 Report Share Posted November 10, 2009 My brother and I are heading to the show tonight, and I have a couple of questions. HSBC website says no cameras of any kind, does that mean phones with cameras as well? Do people tailgate for concerts at HSBC? Is it even "allowed"? I'm not the only poster here who needs this info, so any input is welcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HSBC website says no cameras of any kind, does that mean phones with cameras as well? Do people tailgate for concerts at HSBC? Is it even "allowed"? I'm not the only poster here who needs this info, so any input is welcome. I am going with 3 other people. I am pretty sure you can get in w/a cell phone. It has been a while since I have been at HSBC for a concert. Last one was about 6 or 7 years ago. there really isn't a lot of room to tailgate (to the best of my knowledge). There is the parking lot by the arena; you could always go to Pearl Street grill, there is always a party there. Back in the day, we used to park under the skyway and party, not sure if people still do that. For what's its worth, we are parking at UB and taking the subway in and maybe stopping at Pearl Street. It is not like a preconcert at Darien Lake. Sorry, wish I could be of more help. Have fun tonight, I know I will!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eleven Posted November 10, 2009 Report Share Posted November 10, 2009 My brother and I are heading to the show tonight, and I have a couple of questions. HSBC website says no cameras of any kind, does that mean phones with cameras as well? Do people tailgate for concerts at HSBC? Is it even "allowed"? I'm not the only poster here who needs this info, so any input is welcome. I definitely have seen people tailgating in Main Street parking lots before all kinds of concerts. I think if you stick to a smaller lot, and keep it cool, you won't have any problems. Try to find an indoor bathroom when you feel the urge, though; some of us have to work downtown in the morning.

LabattBlue Posted November 10, 2009 Report Share Posted November 10, 2009 Tailgate in the lot you park in, but just don't walk to the Arena with a beer in hand. You can be ticketed. It happened to a friend of mine during the playoff run three years ago. He talked his way out of it, but none the less, it can happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ohiofan Posted November 10, 2009 Report Share Posted November 10, 2009 I used to party under the Skyway back in the day as well...not sure that is even possible now. As far as cameras...I really don't think they are banned anymore. Everyone has a phone with a camera, how can the arenas ban them? At Quicken loans arena in Cleveland, I discovered that cameras ARE allowed. I went to the Jonas Brothers concert with daughter #2, and then METALLICA with daughter #1, and both times people were snapping pics with their digital cameras all night.

Ohiofan Posted November 10, 2009 Report Share Posted November 10, 2009 P.S. The concert was AWESOME! Hetfield is in great voice right now, and the band was really tight. Have a great time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Foligno's Nose Posted November 10, 2009 Report Share Posted November 10, 2009 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4GIisWJJG28 One of my faves from Garage Inc. Hopefully they pull 'Whisky in the Jar' out for the Buffalo crowd tonight like the last show in 2004. Setlist: Blackened Fuel The Four Horsemen The Unforgiven Frantic The Thing That Should Not Be Whiskey In The Jar St. Anger Fade To Black Master Of Puppets Fight Fire With Fire - - - - No Leaf Clover Nothing Else Matters Sad But True One Enter Sandman - - - - Disposable Heroes Seek And Destroy I went deaf during 'One'. Came late and missed Godsmack's wonderful opening set - Many regrets. Don't know much about Lamb of God & Volbeat, other than they would not let Lamb of God play at the LA Forum. Have fun all.

Foligno's Nose Posted November 10, 2009 Report Share Posted November 10, 2009 My only guess would be 97.7 or 103.3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McJeff215 Posted November 11, 2009 Report Share Posted November 11, 2009 I've seen 'em ~20 times. This is the first tour I've missed since I was 14 =( An awesome show. I saw 'em here in Atlanta once and Hetfield was out of commission. Ended up being guys from Korn, Kid Rock, System of a Down, and Metallica cranking out Metallica tunes all night instead. Metallica came back a couple months later as a make up and we go to go for free. I also met 'em all in Australia one time. I ran this fan site 8-9 years or so ago. I had started this "Play Killing Time in Melbourne" crusade as I was headed down under and was going to see 'em play a couple shows while out there. They actually played about half of it. Walking to the car after loitering for too long (after show passes), a black van pulled up, purely by chance. Kirk got out and signed autographs for the kids in the area. When they got to me he recognized that I sounded American. Turned out they actually *did* play that chunk of Killing Time because of my little effort.... said something like they played what they could remember. Was a great trip!! I'm still pissed I missed this tour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was there with my brother, 300 level though (sound quality was horrible up there). Pearl street had a 40 minute wait for a table at around 6:00 or you could go to the bar on the second floor for all you can eat Pizza, wings, and Beef on Weck for $15. The place was crowded so we didn't bother staying. The Bars in the Cobblestone area were pretty packed too, but that was mostly cause 103.3 was there at Benchwarmers and one of the other bars in that block. Amazing show though, Metallica always puts on a great one. The first band was somewhat decent, but Lamb of God is just horrible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Foligno's Nose Posted November 12, 2009 Report Share Posted November 12, 2009 Great show. Not as good as the 2004 show (I'm just five years older - I guess) Drank beer in concession area for the openers. Loved the setlist - stage set-up somewhat unimaginative. Encore was great. Sat in 116 - Teppo w/ wife was in 117. He looked to be having a great time and headed down to his seats with fistfuls of beer before the start (wifey too!). No sign of Lydman - probably too light of a show - no Norwegian Death metal last night. "Yeah - I have a comment - FU." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That first band blew dudes. Seriously, i could tolerate that first bad more then I could LOG. I would have enjoyed it more if they just brought out a couple Lambs on stage and let them walk around for the time LOG were given to "perform" And I know that its hard to make it sound good up top, I'm just saying that I realise now that I am getting old cause I sat there last night actually thinking about sound quality at a metal concert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously, everytime I see pictures of him, I think of him more as an ABBA fan, then I watch him play, and he doesn't really make me change my mind.............
