Okay, there’s always the odd letter or comment like, ‘If you don’t play ten ‘Metal Militia’’s on every album then it’s not Metallica and it’s not good’, but we’re doing what we’re doing the way we feel at a certain time. The band has matured and we’re still ...
James Hetfield ofMetallicais not a Song-and-Snappy-Patter man on stage, the singer-guitarist’s idea of between-song banter is the kind of street-simple, off-color word jive that you can hear any night, anyplace where the citizens of Teenage Wasteland gather over a six-pack. “All fucki...
