Hello ... its Vinman from SoCal :D

Post by Vincent »

Hi all,

My name is Vincent. I have been posting on Metallica fan community boards since around mid 1998. Started my journey way back then on the Metshrine with guys like SJ Mike and Pyros and a bunch of others. I know Mike is here, perhaps some of you others are from back then as well. Also joined Metfuk when James (Oldfan) started that one up and was a member there till the end. Along the way I heard about the JITF site that Steve started up and joined there as well. That one seems to be currently in a "down" status, but I have heard from a friend it may be up and running again someday once Steve has some time to put into it. So I was a refugee of sorts and Mike pointed me in the direction of this fine website. Had a couple issues getting signed up and in but VisiGod helped me out tremendously and here I am.

Been a Metallica fan since I first heard "Leper Messiah" in 1986. I've actually only been to see them live 2 times and they were way back in 1988. Suppose I should try to go to one more show before I die lol. I am also the taper of the 1988 bootleg, I think its called Barred Reality. It was the Foxborough, Mass (USA) show they did on that Monsters of Rock tour with VH, Scorps, etc .. I know of only one other taping of the show. Anyway, that's me. I live in Southern California and still love Metallica as much as ever

Hey,
Welcome :)

It's been ages since I heard those names LOL good old times.

Same here started my journey back on the Metshrine days (If I remember correctly 'Temple of Death' FBI message end of days).
Found this cool world when friend of mine back at age 15 managed to record Metallica 1999 show in Israel from the live FM Broadcast to tape,
While trying to replay the show, the damn radio destroyed the tape :/ So I felt bad and started searching the Internet for a replacement lol.

Hey mate, glad you finally decided to join us. Not much discussions go on here, but you won't find anywhere else with the amount of Metallica bootlegs that are shared.
