	SuperDave writes better lyrics than most of what's out there.  He's
direct most of the time, but his lyrics are much more vivid than the majority
of rock.  I think pitting him against Metallica would be kind of pointless, but
pitting him against most other speed metal bands would put Megadeth ahead.

OK, I see a lot of talk about George Lynch. He's taking guitar lessons, you 
know. He should know some theory by now. 

About Dokken... I heard that it would be like a one-time-only reunion tour. For
those of you who asked me where I got this information (I posted the first

     No.

     If you want to get into Fates Warning, I would suggest 'No Exit' first,
It's definately their best, but their old stuff is fucking killer...'Parallels
really sucks (for Fates Warning)...they kind of pulled a MetalliBOB on it...
they've pretty much abandoned their old music, I was not impressed with
'Parallels' what so ever.

neither lars, nor any other band member ever said that. what metallica
said was that there were no songs they had written that they thought a
video would work for. they tried, even filmed a bit of one for 'for
whom the bell tolls' and then found that they had nothing doing, that
they weren't going to be happy with the product and so they bailed on
it. 

it was only with one that the band had an idea behind producing a
video. then the sandman concept is pretty straightforward. there's
clearly a concept behind it. 

and the unforgiven is one of the most outlandish, yet intelligent and
thought provoking videos i have seen. the first time i saw it i said
'what the fuck?'
but after watching it again and again and thinking about it, the video
isn't so far off what the song sez. it has a lot of internal meaning
and there's a lot of abstract imagery in it, buti do like it. 

as for 'nem', i don't think there was a driving concept behind it.
james really wanted to release the single because it means a lot to
him. that's why it was released. lacking a definite concept to the
video, the band chose instead to offer the viewer a look at what goes
on in the studio with metallica. not what i'd consider a stunning or
new concept, but it was something i liked to see until it got
overplayed about a thousand times.

A few comments on the ever expanding flock of sheep that are now fans...
First, an experience:
Location: a drink/eat/dance bar here at Purdue that is frequented by many
greeks and other conformist types (note: I am not saying ALL greeks are
conformist, but a lot are, especially here).
Scene: a wonderful hour of the drivel that these morons like to "dance" to,
I am about to go insane, and what do I hear? ENTER SANDMAN??!! At a dance
bar?! Unbelieveable!  It was a "fist bangin' mania" (thank god for SOD)
A few adventuresome people were actually banging their heads. I wonder how
long ago they were thinking that head banging was stupid, and whether they
were enjoying it or doing it because that is what they see on MTV.  Some 
people just tried to dance the same way they would to a Paula Abdul "song".
AAAAACK!  I could barely restrain myself from going out there and moshing
the whole lot of them.  I figured it wasn't worth getting arrested (a likely
result).
ANYWAY, I can relate to the frustration experienced by hardcore fans when
they are surrounded by the legions of sheep who now think it's cool to like
Metallica because they hear it on the radio.  I just hope that many of the
sheep will stray from the flock and become true fans.  My old roommate went
from hating Metallica to liking One, buying the new album because he liked
the radio songs, and buying Master, which he says he likes, so I guess
there's hope. I think I need to convince him to buy Reign in Blood!

I too wish they would play smaller shows, but that is impossible now for a
band of their status.  Think of how many hardcore fans would be turned away
if they played to small club crowds.  Besides, if you love the band, you
should only be concerned with the show, not those around you.

I do hope, however, that the next album is more like the older ones.  The
new album is great, but I prefer the more intricate and faster playing on
earlier albums (Justice may have been a bit of overkill). They sure haven't
forgotten how to play heavy, though (despite the ballads, which really aren't
bad). 

Does anyone else think the sound quality on the new album sucks (especially
compared to Master and Justice)?  I think we can blame Bob Cock (ooops, Rock)
for this. James sounds horribly spitty in some parts, and overall the sound
is overly bright. Fleming, please come back!!!!
The latest Megadeth and Slayer both sound much better.

	Please Please Please tell me you're kidding.  Tell me this is just
a late april fools joke.  PLEASE!  If this is true that I think it is time
that we fans face the fact that the Mighty Metallica is dead.  I'm one of
the people who isn't convinced about their selling out, especially after
seeing them in concert twice.  But to release an album aimed at dance clubs
would be the ultimate in selloutedness.
	Even if they do it HOW COULD THEY DO IT TO ANYTHING OLD? I can't
believe they'd kill Battery or Dyer's Eve like that.  Those are two of
my favorite songs.  If I heard a dance version of either I'd probably
vomit on the spot.  
	If this does happen we should ALL write 3 or 4 letters to the
band saying "look - your diehard fans have had it up to their eyeballs,
STOP WITH THE BULLSHIT AND GET BACK TO RAGING!".  You think several
hundred, maybe thousand letters like that would get their attention?
If it saves Metallica from ruin any price is worth it.

Hi people...I want to tell you a neato story.  I just LOOVE
the new Metallica!! I like the songs Enter Sandman, The Unforgiven,
and Nothing Else Matters.  They're SOOO coolie!! I like another
song by them too called one.  I have the new Metallica tape in my

and they're too heavy.. I mean I just wish they could be more like the
