Metal is all about popularity. It's about rabble rousing and showing off just how well rebellion can be faked. Rock, Metal, Punk, Pop...same shit with a different name. Metallica or Ozzy, same circus. Career musicians and entertainers, when shit starts they're the first ones running for the exit.

And the shit band "Metallica" is a sad representation of "metal". The most metal they have been in 20 years is when
they invited King Diamond on stage to play old Mercyful Fate classics,other than that....there is no "metal" left in "Metallica".
That band makes me sick to my freaking stomach they are so lame....I absolutely HATE James Hetfield,...HATE his guts.
To him...old school metal is a mear "joke" as he sports his flip flop sandles and nerd thick glasses and Green Day sweater.
I never get tired of slamming Metallica because they deserve to be slammed....I wish they would just quit and spare us.

Tis a rough quote from memory, could anyone possibly provide that interview? I can't remember where I saw it. :-/ |
