I know! It cracks me up that heavy metal legends have reached the pinnacle of legitimacy. They are the establishment now. I hope it makes people take heavy metal artists more seriously…or not, I’m sure they don’t care!
Metallica is a phenomenon. Their career spans almost 30 years. ‘Death Magnetic ‘ is a return to their roots. Their worst album is ST Anger. The latest album features the brilliant songs: ‘Broken,beat& scarred’ ; ‘Unforgiven 3 ‘&
‘The Day that never comes’. Truly AWESOME!!!
METALLICA!!! WOO HOO!
