Don't even get me started on Metallica$h, Inc. I was a fan since the freaking inception of the band... back when they were getting popular because people were passing around bootleg cassettes of the band. I think I still have one somewhere....I now still find it ironic about the whole Napster situation and Metallica, just because of the above statement...
Another irony.... Back when Metallicrap were worth a damn, they renounced music videos completely, and still attained platinum status on their music alone in a time when videos made or broke you. Now they are friggin MTV Icons?!?!!? Blasphemy I tell ya...
Also just to stir the pot, I can remember when you could get a decent ticket to a kick ass Metallica show for $20 bucks a seat... I haven't checked ticket prices lately, but I will wager to say they probably go for as much as Britney Spears' latest panty buying spree was.... Not f-ing cheap....
Before they got greedy they could make decent music. Now they thumb their noses at their fans and haven't put out a really good recording in years. Last good album was "...And Justice for All". Every freaking song on that album, along with all the albums before it, were hit songs... Every freaking one... Now you are lucky as hell to even get 2 good ones out of the whole CD...
Kirk was always a mediocre player in my book, but he is even worse now... He should give up and go surfing full time...As a matter of fact, maybe they should all call it a day and retire before they furthur embarrass themselves as hasbeens.

I'm out like Kirks sadass soloing...
