When Metallica
was announced as
the headlining act
for Lollapalooza
'96 last spring,
alternakids every-
where were as dis-
traught as if some-
one had ripped out
their beating little
Brian A. Gnatt hearts and
Daily Ar stomped them flat
Da__yArtsEd__ on the floor. This
was their precious Lollapalooza. How
could some testosterone-overloaded
metal band headline their festival?
In its sixth year as a showcase and
breeding ground for alternative bands
to get national exposure, Lollapalooza
took an unexpected turn to the musical
right. Instead of attempting to focus
on off-the-wall indie bands like it had
in the past, festival organizers (with-
out the help of festival originator.

Perry Farrell, who left the organiza-
tion after the '95 show) decided to
have their own Monsters of Rock con-
cert. With the bill comprised of
Metallica, Soundgarden, the Ramones
and Rancid, among others, the Gen-
Xers were stripped of their precious
alternative field day.
I don't think anyone rioted. You
know we are a generation of slackers,
right? But we hit 'em where it hurt -
their bank accounts. Ticket sales were
down, and there wasn't even a
Lollapalooza held on this side of
Michigan.
Despite the fact the festival was
being headlined by old metalheads,
Metallica was surprisingly the best
headlining act at Lollapalooza in the
past few years.
Hands down, Metallica is a great live
band. They play tight, strong and loud.
But aside from Lars Ulrich's superb
drumming and James Hetfield's rich

growl lies something that few bands
ever master - a powerful stage per-
sona.
Loaded with charisma, charm and
arrogance, Metallica knows how to
entertain its audiences. After 15 years
of playing their 10-minute thrash-metal
epics, it's an impressive feat to keep
crowds awake and on their toes.
Last year's headliners, Sonic Youth,
may have been an indie rocker's wet
dream of Lollapalooza, but in no way
did the noise artists have the ability
to headline an outdoor festival of that
proportion. The previous year,
Smashing Pumpkins had the same
problem. Despite all his rage, Billy
Corgan was still just a wuss on the
stage. Crowd interaction was mini-
mal or non existent, and the band
members had their feet glued to the
floor.
But Metallica knows how to party.
The best test of a band's ability to play

a good live show is whe
who knows little or nor
