The main focus to this double page spread is of a concert that took place at Wembly stadium. The bands that played at this concert were HIIM, Machine Head, Mastodon and the main band featured at the concert, Metallica.
The text on this double page spread is on a black background which is a convention of metal/rock music which is the type of music these bands are based on. The text is white in colour as it stands out on the black background. The main text is based on the events of the concert. However, there is a second section dedicated to main singer and guitarist of Metallica, James Hetfield. This small section asks what James Hetfield thought about the event. The red colouring is also a convention of rock and metal music as it is seen as edgy.
The photos on this double page spread were taken from the concert. Having photos within a magazine from a live event gives the reader a sense of the atmosphere from the concert. The double page spread includes photos of James Hetfield from Metallica and numerous other singers and guitarists from other bands who performed at the concert. The photos show then insensity of the concert as we can see cleary from some of the photos the passion and effort these musicians are putting in.
The text in the middle of the page talks about the concert. This text is larger than the other text on the pages in order to catch the readers eye so that their attention is drawn to the story within the magazine. Machine head is written in bold in order to make the name of the band easy to read for the reader and to grab their attention. This is so fans of the particular band maybe more influence to read the story.
