Being in my 40s, I thought my head banging, shot guzzling days were over; however, I thought I’d give it a “one” more try to douse my fears of going deaf when listening to a heavy metal band. And I will tell …I’m glad I went to see the Metallica tribute band Battery. Right from the time the curtains opened to the end of the first set (an exhausting hour later) the band played on gushing out loud music and putting on a show that really rocked the house over at Rane Party Bar located in West Seneca, NY.

The lead singer George Hartwig really sounded like James Hetfield – lead singer from Metallica. I (and others) were impressed with the performance and the vocals. George kept belting out the tunes and he put on a performance that I will not soon forget.

At times, I heard one or two Metellica die hard fans mention the drummer was skipping a beat or two; however, if he did I never noticed and I was impressed with his stellar performance.

In the end, I was amazed (and deaf at the same time) and if they return to Buffalo …I’ll be there. But this time I’ll bring ear plugs.
