Alright! It begins!
Keep the reviews coming people, and remember to also post your request. Thanks!
The crowd cheered as the opening riff to Dirty Window echoed through the stadium. Manic played the opening beat on the snare drum, gradually quickening it until the short break where James kicked in on the guitar, and then the whole rest of Metallica followed.
The rest of Sonic's band was a loss as how to back up the song, but Sonic just started jamming on his guitar, just making up notes as he went along, and so everyone decided to just do the same.
As the two bands mixed into one huge group playing in tune with each other, James sang.
I see my reflection in the window.
It looks different, so different then what you see.
Projecting judgment on the world,
This house is clean, baby,
This house is clean!
Metallica slowed it down a little before the next set of lyrics and Sonic did a short solo, still just randomly jamming away on his guitar. Then, Metallica picked it back up.
As James sang each Line, Sonic and his band got the audience going, and they all shouted back with "YEAH!" in response to the lyrics.
Am I who I think I am?
YEAH!
Am I who I think I am?
YEAH!
Am I who I think I am?
YEAH!
Look out my window and see it's gone wrong,
This court is in session, and I slam the gavel down!
Sonic and Tails did a dual solo on regular guitar and bass as the song slowed down again, with only James playing and Lars doing slow and steady beats on the bass drum.
I'm Judge and I'm Jury and I'm Executioner too.
As he sang the lines, the song slowly started picking back up, Only Sonic's band this time picked up the main riff.
I'm Judge and I'm Jury and I'm Executioner too!
As it came back at full intensity, with Metallica now playing the backing notes, James and Sonic sang, Sonic echoing the words as James said them.

James smiled at the people's response. He motioned for them to sing every other line after him.
I see my reflection in the window.
This window clean inside, dirty on the out.
I'm looking different then me,
This house is clean, baby,
This house is clean!
The audience and Sonic's band sang the main lines this time, while James delivered the response.
Am I who I think I am?
YEAH!

The bands jammed away on stage. Kirk made up a solo as he went along, Jason and Tails rocking out on bass, while Manic backed up Lars with hard and quick beats on the symbols and snare drum.
Sonic and Sonia both glanced at each other, not wanting to be left out, and so together, they played a dual keyboard - guitar solo. Interestingly, they were playing Kirk's solo, only playing it backwards!
For a full two minutes, the bands rocked on through, and the crowd cheered them on, the roar from all the combined yells and shouts almost equaling the sound from the instruments.
As The two hedgehogs and Kirk slowly faded out there solos, the song tuned down to a lower key as James finished it off.
I drink from the cup of denial.
I'm judging the world from my throne.
Yeah, I drink from the cup of denial!
And I'm Judging the world from my throne!
Manic and Lars repeated the opening drum beats twice, and then with a bang, the song was done. The crowd cheered wildly. Waves of thunderous applause and loud yells filled the stadium. It was shaping up to be an awesome show, and it was only the second song!
