Encycmet.com visitor Feras reports: On the 25th of march, the Dubai Desert Rock Festival was held (in Dubai, UAE ) featuring : Sepultura, Machine Head, Within Temptation, The Darkness, and two other local bands.
The show was just perfect , the stage was awesome and the sound system was absoloutly amazing!! ..
The reason why i'm sending this to a Metallica website is that, before Sepultura took on the stage, guess who's songs were played on tape to warm people up?.. Seek & Destroy, Master Of Puppets, were amongs them , and then they went down with Unforgiven and Nothing Else Matters. Everyone was singing along to the songs.. it was really nice! ..
Now after sepultura and within temptation went off, Machine Head took over, and played a couple of songs, and then they said they had a special guest with them , who was Andreas Kisser -the guitarist from Sepultura- .. the crowd started screaming , and then machinehead's frontman said that they will be covering a band that "we all love, a band that came from where we came from as well, a band that has an album called Ride The Lightning!" , and people went crazy! .. " this song is caleld .. Creeping Death!" , and they played it just perfect, and even the frontman was amazed from the crowd's reaction, everyone was singing along, and ppl were screaming the lyrics and jumping up and down all the way to the end, and ofcourse "DIE.. DIE.. DIE.. By my hands" was the highlight of the song as always, and for me THIS PERFORMANCE was the highlight of the whole night..!.. the song ended , but the crowd went screaming.. and then everyone was asking for another cover , screaming the most influential band's name "Metallica", so much that the guys from machine head started laughing .
