Tallica on MTV.

[El Stormo]

I don't know if any of you caught it, but Metallica was on UK MTV the other day, in a programme called MTV Idol.

As soon as the Four Horsemen emerged, despair gripped my tender heart: James looked passable, but Lars with his yellow-dyed hair, Kirk with his white pimp-suit and Rob the new bassist with his moronic grin on his stoned face spelled doom for Metallica (as if that hadn't happened already...)

But wait! Apparently it was not Metallica that did the concert! It was several Nu-metal bands that covered Metallica classics. How nice uke:

After several mutilated classics, by Staind, Korn, Avril Lavigne, and other asses, the apotheosis of the eveninbg was reached when Snoop Dogg the awesomely cool rapper covered what vaguely sounded like 'Sad But True'. I have never seen such a horrible display in my whole life. The 'song' lasted exactly one minute, with Snoopy belting out 'uh'-s and 'yea'-s on the guitars of Sad But True. James, Lars, Kirk and Rob the Moron enjoyed themselves thoroughly and were even caught on tape making rap moves.


FOR SHAME!!!

I'm glad I missed THIS.

Tallica=Doomed.

It's called a sense of humor, dude. My bandmates and I are straight-up thrash, and we do joking rap & pop-punk stuff all the time. Did you even watch Metallica's performance?

 

[El Stormo]

Nu-uh, it wasn't joke stuff. They were boppin' along with Snoop Doggy Fart and liking it. They were sitting in their seats, movin' to tha rhytham, yo.
Uh.
Yeah.

Y'know, that sort of thing.

I even downloaded the "Snoop" cover, it was horrid.

Fuel is NOT a classic. Neither is Sad but True. In anycase this show has been discussed to death. It's not like anything changed. Metallica was shit before this show, it's still shit after it. Those dickheads did in fact like the horrible covers. That little fucker Lars was really excited, he must have gotten a good buttfuck by Kirk before the show. We now know that James thinks Avril was "not bad", that Lars really likes rap and has "so much respect for those guys (Korn)". Excellent. Metallica sucked. Too bad they didn't play just a little while longer cause then they'd have a heart attack and they'd fucking die and we could go visit their graves yearly and spit and piss and shit on them.

 

[Lies and Perfidy]

Dude, I saw it too. They looked like any other bunch of people, you know, ENJOYING THEMSELVES. Would you prefer for them to sit there stoically and pretend it wasn't funny? It amused them.

Guerilla, you're pretty bitter, aren't you?

 

[Guerrilla]

The point is that the show wasn't meant to be funny. When Metallica are voted MTV idol of the year and a show is dedicated to them, you don't wanna ridicule their songs on purpose. The only part of the show that I see was meant to be funny was Snoop's cover. All the others were "serious" and James, Lars, and Kirk seriously liked them.

 

[Lies and Perfidy]

Or else they weren't taking it seriously. You tend to get a little blasé about this stuff after 20 years in the biz.

I know, I know. But it's infinitely more classic than anything shits like Korn and Staind have scooped up from their toilet bowls.
