Not to mention that all they want to hear is Seek and Destroy and For Whom the Bell Tolls and the rest of the oldies.

I've been hearing rumors that Metallica is going to cover Scott McKenzie's version of Phillips' "San Francisco (Be Sure to Wear Flowers in Your Hair)" when they do get back into the studio. 

This whole thing seems like DejaVu all over again.
 
Remember the Debbie Boone debacle?

My take is more optimistic. The paradigm has shifted back to the days when live performance was the primary source of a band's income. As long as audiences are willing pay to attend a performance, even one that's not a travelling advertisement for some multinational corporation's products, it means live music isn't dead. That, I think, is a good thing.

No new Metallica album?
 
Good; I've more metal in my body than those guys have between them.  'Lithium Rock' at best.
 
Surprised they haven't started touring the C&W venues in the States already...

Maybe this will be the tour where Metallica plays their cover of "The Girl from Ipanema."

Fans take "their" music way too seriously. Seriously, it's not "their" music, it's the band's music. And the band can do what ever they want. I would never want to be doing something just because the masses were controlling me.
