I can believe the fact that Kirk Hammet is in the blues because it shows in his playing. Of course the classical influence shows more but he does have a blues edge and it widens his range and thats great for a band like MEtallica. They keep getting better musically. I might not agree where they are now but you can tell that there playing has improved. Lets hope that they use the talent in a good way for the next album.

Godamn, Rush Limbaugh is an idiot.  Does he use any words in that book that 
re longer than three syllables?  Maybe you did not understand, but that kind 
of force was unnecessary.  If you do not know what you are talking about 
(you've now claimed twice that you weren't), and it seems as though you have 
not seen the footage, then shut up.

Man... you guys are really talented!  Playing bass with only a few

Yes, yes, yes.  If everyone would just listen to Rush, we'd all be in a happier
world.  More white, more male-dominated, more conservative...

To quote Kirk from the Year & 1/2 video:

      "Fuck George Bush!!  Pat Buchannon is a Nazi!!"

Thank God Metallica doesn't listen to good ol' Rush.  8-)

If you people who think the King beating was justified are so sure of your-
selves, why don't you try your skills on alt.rodney-king?  I'm sure you would
find it most interesting.

The song is "So What" and it is the b-side to "Sad But True."  If you buy the
CD single, you also get "Harvester of Sorrow."  "So What" is also availible
on the Japanese version of their latest, and retails for around $24.99.
Most record stores selling imports will have the single

well, I'm from LA. and for all you metal dudes out there whinning about the 
rodney king beating, there is a news group called, alt.rodney.king  You can say
all you want in that news group.  I posted a lot of my opinions last november 
and december.  I saw the " complete video " and I if  was in the same situation
I problably would've done the same thing.  The cops, almost crossed the
limit, they were very violent but didn't cross the line.   I live just 10 
minutes from the site of the incident, and believe me being a cop in LA
is not an easy task.
I posted in the rodney newsgroup, what I saw in the video and many agree with
with me.  Trust me is not just rodney that made the cops violently, it was many
other factors too.

Hi there

I've seen some Metallica shows. Firstly the Freddie Tribute gig, which 
really got me into Metallica. I've also been to the Den Bosch gig on 
december the 7th. I was in the snakepit, which is quite fun, but also it has 
its disadvantages. You are not allowed to drink there, during the two-and-a-
half-hour show, which is quite fatal if you are not used to it. Headbangin' 
and pogoin' for two hours, when it's over 30 degrees celsius or so.
It was great though.
Shakin' hands with Kirk and James, playing Jason's bass and foolin' around 
with Lars (I also play drums). To get inside the snakepit, try wearing an 
old Metallica shirt.
The set was quite varied, opening with Enter Sandman & Creeping Death
Let's see, they played:  Seek & Destroy, One, Nothing Else Matters, Last 
Caress, Breadfan and lots more as a three quarters of an hour encore. The 
played The Unforgiven, Of Wolf and Man, Sad But True, Dyers Eve, Harvester 
Of Sorrow, Fade To Black, For Whom The Bell Tolls, Master Of Puppets, 
Sanitarium, And Justice..., Dyers Eve, Blackened, The Four Horsemen and lots 
more.
Thesound in the snakepit being not so good, I'd like tosee them again. There 
is an extra date in Holland on june the 12th, in Rotterdam, but all 60.000 
tickets are already SOLD OUT (within half an hour!!) DAMN!
Could anyone get me some ticketsfor this date, maybe? Thanx.

I was in a local book and record store today and saw kids picking through
the used CD's. They saw the Black Album and I remarked that I thought
the early stuff is the best. Now these kids are no older than the 14 year 
olds I spat upon in my last post (I'm very sorry). Guess what? "We like
the older stuff". No kidding.

I got a friend into King Diamond a few years back. All he listened to
was Ozzy. Then he discovered the Black Album. Metallica was the best, he
said. I said, get the early albums. Guess what? All he likes to listen
to know is Cliff Burton Classic Metallica. Oh, and he is one mean
Mercyful Fate freak since I gave him a copy of Melissa , Don't Break
the Oath , and the beginning. Now when he works his night crews at the
grocery stor he sings with his walkman "Seek and destroy" and "all
hail Satan".

Call it Billy Idol syndrome. whenever he released a new albums, they said
blah and wanted White Wedding and Rebel Yell. Go figure.
I hope this is not the fate for Metallica. They are WAY heavier then
Billy Idol and even the new shit sounds great live. But they too could
have Billy Idol syndrome. It is now starting. Some German guy at a 
concert heard James say that that "they want the old shit" (I forget
the post. BTW Other Bands Play, Manowar Kills).

I am going to lend my friend a pile of Accept tapes. He will love them
And he will love my Megadeth bootlegs.
