Long ago.
“Cat Stevens ... supported the fatwa against Salman Rushdie”
No. He was asked after a public lecture what the penalty for blasphemy was under Islamic law. He never claimed Rushdie had blasphemed Islam.
I take it that if a Christian or Jew were asked a similar question and they quoted Leviticus 24:16, you wouldn’t have your knickers in quite the same knot.
Man you just listed three of my favorite bands/musicians of all time. Truely great players.
I am not anymore. Besides, it was Dave Mustaine that made Metallica and Megadeth is so much better.
The best thing about St. Anger was the “Some Kind of Monster” documentary. I think all the scenes of the useless, psychobabbling Phil Towle getting slapped and beat down by all and sundry must have been left on the cutting room floor. They all gave him credit for helping them, but I never could figure out how. Sitting around all day and spouting platitudes for $40,000 per month is truly helpful?
I think Metallica was a last minute addition to the line up as they played Wembley yesterday or today. So they were in town. Why not play.
Yep. Every night, everywhere they play.
Last I heard they were playing local bars for $10.
When Hetfield told Towlie that his services were no longer needed and Towlie repeatedly objected to ending the sessions I wanted Hetfield to just yell, LOOK Fucker, YOU’RE FIRED!
None of them would ever be mistaken for Taliban. Takes more than whiskers.
At least Lars busted Dr. Phil on the emotional manipulation/blackmail he started trying to pull on James. I thought that guy was unethical, or he became unethical. He got too needy and dependent on his patients. The band had enough emotional and other problems, and their therapist seemed to add himself to the list.
It really appeared he was trying to and believing he could become the 5th member of Metallica. He sold his house, bought a new one in SF and moved his wife and family out there along with other things that really annoyed Metallica. Either Lars or James pretty much told him he was trying to become the 5th member and a permanent part of the band and that wasn’t happening.
Megadeth's new album is good. I saw them a few weeks ago open up for Black Sabb- er "Heaven and Hell" - and they really rocked. The Black Sabbath stuff with Dio was well done as well.
What? doesn’t show.
I love this album. I played it over and over to the exclusion of everything else. Still keep going back to it.
Volume 4.
