4 from worlds

I'm sorry, did they get hit in the head and forget they made Cult and Reflections. I hope this changes before the West Coast dates.

theyre going to always play covers since those got them started in the first place, esp Master of Puppets and Inquisition Symphony. but yeah i do agree, i wish they would at least play Life Burns

And I agree. They are known for covers. But they are not a cover band. Every band starts out with covers and as they build they own songs, the number of cover songs that "got them started" lessens.

I jut think they can hold their own now, and don't need the gimmicks of lots of covers and new material to have people come to their shows

But this isn't like other bands who just play a bunch of covers when they're starting off playing local gigs. Their first album was ALL Metallica covers. They started their recorded career as a Metallica cover band. Then their second album was almost all covers, as well. You can't compare a band whose first two albums are almost all covers with a band who only played covers at local gigs as they were starting up.
