Friday, April 19: Testament, "Eerie Inhabitants"

“Eerie Inhabitants” opened The New Order and immediately signaled that Testament was ready to level up from the intense but somewhat rudimentary thrash of The Legacy. Alex Skolnick and Eric Peterson had distinct approaches as writers and players, but they blended seamlessly to craft compositions that were both thoughtfully arranged as well relentless in their viciousness, while Chuck Billy had already grown considerably as a vocalist and moved beyond simple barking and belching. Testament wasn’t quite all the way there yet- the tune still had wandered aimlessly in bits- but “Eerie Inhabitants” was a worthy banger that positioned the band as leaders among the next great wave of thrash.

Metallica performing live at Evenmentenhal in Zwaagwesteinde, Netherlands.

June 9, 1984.

Van Haren recalling the concert:

“Our friends at the Metal magazine Loudness, who were involved in organising this event, invited us to report this show for our magazine. On the way to the venue, we realised we were driving behind a white Bedford van containing the members of Metallica. We decided to follow them. Arriving at the scene, the awaiting fans were already gathered on the street, armed with crates of beer. Cliff, Kirk and James decided to hang around and drink beer with them. Everybody was invited, so it didn't take long before we were also supplied with the holy water.

What a party, drinking with the guys from Metallica, and the concert hadn't even begun. Meanwhile, we were summoned backstage for a press briefing. And we were confronted with all kinds of instructions, rules and regulations. Who came up with this crap? I don't know. Maybe the demanding tour manager? Knowing that there is always something going on before every performance, it came as no surprise.

But one way or another, I'm always determined to make it happen. By a twist of fate, the promoter, Henk Elzinga, didn't know that Twisted Sister was bigger than Metallica at that time. Twisted Sister should have been the main act, but Elzinga had switched it around. Because of him, Metallica had their first show as the headliner.

Prior to the gig, Donald Wever had an interview with Cliff Burton sitting on a bench outside somewhere in the area. They discussed the recording process of the forthcoming Ride The Lightning album and the band's interest in finding a new vocalist/frontman. At that time, there was a rumour going around that Guy Esparanza (ex-Riot) was approached by the band to fill that position, but Cliff immediately debunked this one.

During the song Metal Militia, Dee Snider of Twisted Sister joined the band on stage to shout with them the well-known phrase: Metal Up Your Ass. Meanwhile, I ran towards the stage with my camera to capture this moment, but it jammed. Typical, something which had kept happening during the whole event. The atmosphere in this place was so incredible, it can't be described, but the band gave four encores…. this speaks for itself. If people ask me what was one of the most impressive and best gigs you ever watched, then it was definitely this one for sure. Every time I hear the name of the village Zwaagwesteinde, I still get goosebumps. A memory set for eternity.”

Van Haren also attended Metallica’s December 7th show in Amsterdam a few months later and spoke about it. If you’d like to read more of his remembrance of the band then click here :)

Tuesday, July 4: Metallica, "My Apocalypse"

Kerry King famously dismissed Death Magnetic with a “nice try”, but Metallica’s hard pivot back to thrash held up much better than even the otherwise positive notices expected. Yes, the record was Hetfield and Ulrich deliberately looking backwards, and was inherently self-conscious and a little awkward in spots as a result, but it also had a sense of mission, and “My Apocalypse” closed the album with purpose. To be sure, James was still figuring out how to apply his diminished range in this setting, but his lyrics were a little less clunky and he sounded focused in his riffing, playing and singing. And although Robert Trujillo was barely audible in the studio mix, in a live setting it became clearer that the track was indeed a full band composition, at least in the sense that everybody was in sync and integrating their own bits into the overall song structure. Not to mention, hearing Kirk Hammett shred like a runaway train was incredibly welcome after a solid 15+ year absence. And 15 years after Death Magnetic announced Metallica’s legacy phase, “My Apocalypse” continues to work as a thrasher that was unmistakably the work of these four individuals.
