one of the things i like about metallica, is that even though they are probably one of the most mainstream metal bands, they still write pure rock songs, something that is becoming a long lost art.

Let me tell you something. I use to hate manufactured bands to, untill I auditioned and joined a rock band and got on the Junos. Second of all, I know someone who's sister was on popstars, and if she didn't work her ass of to get there, she wouldn't have been there at all, so dont tell me all those bands dont have talent. Rappers dont maybe, but some people work hard to get where they are. I know that, having performed in the same band she was once in.
