    So, they want you to promote a band that won’t even bother to come to San Diego? I’m confused….

  2. Anders Wright Says:

    You know, it’s not as much of a stretch as it might sound like. It’s been a number of years, but Metallica and conductor Michael Kamen played a few gigs together with the San Francisco Symphony, back in, like, the previous millennium (AKA 1999). I didn’t see the show, but it sounded terrific, with Metallica wailing away on “Ride the Lightning” and “Sanitarium,” accompanied by string sections, horns, the whole nine yards.

  3. Kelly Davis Says:

    You don’t know how disappointed we were to see that Harptallica wasn’t coming to San Diego.
