Metallica new album release "Death Magnetic"

Yesterday I was at Hard Rock Cafe, Mumbai where Metallica released their new album "Death Magnetic". Okay so the band wasn't there at all, we just got to listen to 2 minute previews of each song :) I shall reserve my comments on the album itself until I get to hear it completely...

A band called Echoes played tracks like Comfortably Numb, Coming Back to Life, Highway Star, Sweet Child O'Mine , November Rain , Communication Breakdown, and two originals(which were nice) and prolly some more songs which I had missed. I thought it was a pretty tight act considering this was their first gig! The guy at the vocals was especially good, and kudos to the lady on the keyboards!

In between the listening session, we got to see the MusicMan Mihir giving away CDs to those who were worldy wise about Metallica. Also we had Circles(ex-Sceptre) playing acoustic covers of Metallica. I think they were damn good, and acoustic gigs are always very interesting :)

It was great fun and is always nice to see so many rock music fans at a gig, loved it :D
