The first part of my post is dedicated to all of you sending your birthday
guesses to the list:

CUT IT OUT!!!!!! Think about it, do you actually think that *I* or any of the
other 150 or so people besides Renato *CARE* what your guess is? Did you not
read the message by t.l.g. last week? This list locks up after 50 messages
are posted in a 24 hour period. G's, get a clue. SEND IT PRIVATELY.

You are entitled to your opinion, but I think you're nuts. If Metallica keeps
going in the direction they're headed, they'll be challenging Poison for the
pop metal kings.

>ANY OTHER NEWS ABOUT METALLICA

They released a 2 part video set the other day. The title of it is _A Year
and a Half in the Life of Metallica_. It has been released as 2 separate
tapes. One of the videos from it, "Sad But True" has been on eMptTVee for
awhile.

I'm guessing the video will have the traditional stuff on it, i.e. all
the songs we saw at the concert, interviews, and all that pump up the nads
stuff they like to do.

Generally, on this list, people hate one-liners, and all caps - two things
your post contains.

I'll tell you what I told Carol O' Lickme a couple of months ago.

At home on my PC I have databases set up for my albums and CD's (haven't felt
like doing my cassettes yet).

I have it set up using dBASE III. You can probably pirate this software from
almost any company, or you can buy it for ...oh...say...about $400. It allows
you to design your own database, i.e. you pick the columns, you pick the sizes.
It's very simple to use.

I have the following information for my CD's:

Title
Artist
Price I paid
Spars Code
Year
Where I got it
and my lame attempt at a category for it

So far, I only have about 150 CD's, but dBASE will have no problem handling
10,000's of entries.

re: someone said something about Led Zep having 4 great musicians and
    the CPMOD responded something to the effect that Page was a sloppy
    guitarist...

This cracks me up. If you are going to be on the list, you must learn this:

Generally, all music (musicians) that is popular, sucks. Yes, even Led
Zeppelin. It's an allmusic rule. No matter how great you think someone is,
there will always be someone on this list to tell you how clueless you are. I
must admit, they have opened my eyes a bit, however I'm not yet critical
enough to realize that Robert Plant was losing his voice by the time
_Houses Of The Holy_ came out.

Metallica has a song called "The Call Of Ktulu." Any relation?
