However I do revisit their music often.vincehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16955307244053931069noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1219106691444162656.post-78498431281517526632009-01-28T13:27:00.000-06:002009-01-28T13:27:00.000-06:00::looks around guiltily::I like mosh pits::slinks ...::looks around guiltily::<BR/><BR/>I like mosh pits<BR/><BR/>::slinks away to play some metal and head bang::<BR/><BR/>::realizes she can head bang effectively again since she's grown her hair out. yay!::Taniahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18142380580388373496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1219106691444162656.post-78714388379465199302009-01-28T13:18:00.000-06:002009-01-28T13:18:00.000-06:00Metallica's not generally my kind of music, but th...Metallica's not generally my kind of music, but they did put on an incredible show. <BR/><BR/>Newsted was Brandi's favorite, so she was really disappointed with the whole blow up and she knows all the history about it and all that. I guess he's supposed to be there when they're inducted into the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame this year. That should be interesting.mattwhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07934926340973044413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1219106691444162656.post-76275682656010605462009-01-28T13:12:00.000-06:002009-01-28T13:12:00.000-06:00Sounds like an awesome show, man!

I'm not a big Metallica fan: don't own any of their albums but kinda liked 'em until they began to annoy me by shafting Newstead* and with Lars' anti-Napster epoch. But if they still rock, that can make up for a lot.... :-)<BR/><BR/><BR/>*As I understand it, they basically fired him because they wouldn't record any of his songs, weren't going to record any of his songs, and then when he went off to record them himself while the band was on a break and with what he apparently thought was tacit consent from Hetfield--they shitcanned him. As I recall, it was the douchiest firing in the history of hard rock until Eddie Van Halen canned Michael Anthony so he could give his son a job <I>and</I> posted a Photoshopped version of the cover to VH's first album on the website--with Wolfie's picture inserted over Anthony's--as if to cover up the fact there'd been another bass player in Van Halen <I>before Wolfgang was born</I>. It was, like, rock'n'roll's first "unpersoning" or something similarly Orwellian.Erichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18275812152895151542noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1219106691444162656.post-34716137148679837312009-01-28T12:20:00.001-06:002009-01-28T12:20:00.001-06:00Sounds like a good time.

I'm not a huge fan of their music, and they're too loud.<BR/><BR/>Now get off my lawn.Janiecehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14190655869710465713noreply@blogger.com
