Make sure to play/watch in 4K if possible. And zoom in on your phone (to eliminate black bars) or watch on big screen tv (preferable)

All of the hits and newer stuff often get their dues, and rightfully so. But what's the one song that will almost never be played again at a Metric concert, or on the radio, that you can't get enough of?

I've got two candidates in this category.

-Succexy (Old World Underground); that song has aged like cheddar. Which is both sad and fun. But it's a certified banger, even putting lyrics aside.

-Too Bad, So Sad (Pagans In Vegas); it not only captures Emily's range perfectly, but I love the subtle backing "ahh-ahh" vocals from the guys. The alarm-like sounds in the chorus also make it sound even more intense.

Would love to hear what you got! I'm down to listen to anything Metric. ✨️

I’ve been going to Metric shows since 2005.

That was by far the worst crowd I have ever been in.

It started during stars where I watched this fight almost happen on the floor after some girl called a guy a fat ass because he moved up.

And it continued during Broken Social Scene, where half the crowd just talked through the entire set and then one guy got mad at a girl for talking, and they almost got in a fight.

And then the same thing happened twice during Metric on the floor. For one argument (of which I got distracted and missed like two songs and my wife had to get between the guy and girl to stop
It escalating) her friend luckily eventually dragged her away. Had she not, girl was gonna literally just go at this guy who was 200 pounds bigger than her. All because he very politely asked her to stop talking.

The vibes were totally off last night. I went to the show at the same venue for the Formenterra tour and it was a completely different vibe. Same with the anniversary show for the first album at music hall.

During Metric, I just put my earplugs in and tried to tune it out and have a good time, but it was just it was really rough.

Everyone seemed angry and in a really bad mood which for a show celebrating all the feelings for three essential Canadian Indie rock band seems strange to me.

I could literally write a novel here on some of the stuff that I saw go down yesterday.

Weirdly I was at Avenged Sevenfold and Good Charlotte the night before at the same venue and the vibes were immaculate. No one was fighting with anyone. Everyone was in a good mood. Strange that the heavier show was a way better more attentive and less douchey crowd.

Their best acoustic project being inaccessible from streaming platforms. God I wish I had my megalink still with their whole discography (up to Synthetica) but I do not sadly. Anyone got anything to share?

Hi! Unfortunately I forgot to take any videos of Black Sheep 😭 and I’m hoping someone out there got a good angle of any part of the song (pretty please)🙏

Just looking for the song order so I can make a playlist and try to recapture some glimmer of the journey I took that night.

Hi! If you are unable to go and are giving away your ticket or selling for very cheap, I'd love to go tonight! Pls DM me!

Just as the name says, anyone got the song list of what they think played last night? Also wondering what the song name was for the moment she talked about passing the torch to the next generation of musicians. What a great night!!’

I’m at the Toronto show rn, and they said it’s up to the artist when the signed records are put out. Anybody know when they did it in other cities?
