A Song That Can Change Your Mood Instantly
The Ecstasy of Gold + Creeping Death - Metallica
The Ecstasy of Gold is the intro song Metallica has used to open up their shows for a while now.
I didn't really know when I went to go see Metallica in 2004, and it was probably better that way. It's the perfect song to open up a show you know is just going to kick your ass. It starts out innocent and unassuming but by the time it runs it course and crescendos at the end, you're ready to just let loose. To do this alone on youtube is one thing, but to do it with 50-70,00 other fans, it's an experience that cannot be replicated with anything. It turned the quiet, reserved guy that is me, into a yelling, screaming, singing lunatic (although when I saw them they followed up with my favorite song http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OHIEO1_0Ulo). And that lasted for the whole 3+ hour show. So naturally when this comes on, I get a boost in energy and my mood takes a turn for the better.
