I was there, 16 years old at the time. This only tells half the story, obviously you can see they blew the roof off the citrus bowl but metallica got booed off the stage twice that night. By the time they hit the stage it was so frigging hot and the crowd was ornery as hell, then they proceeded to destroy. The reference he makes about thanking the girls that night is because between metallica and gnr just about every girl in the crowd flased the camera.
