I think the show is great. I've been a hardcore metal guy for years, but I also have a lot of other tastes, and if you can''t appreciate that these guys on the show are giving it all then take your soapbox somewhere else. Last nights show was great, the ORIGINAL songs by the Australian dude Toby and the girl Storm were fucking great. Every one of the singers on that show is a hundred times better than anyone I've seen on American "SHIT" Idol.
As far as ripping on Dave----puh-lease. Yeah he's overexposed, but the dude is an amazing guitar player. Go rifle down a few brews and turn on "Three Days" from Ritual de lo Habitual really LOUD and tell me otherwise. The difference is, he's getting rich and screwing a LOT of good looking women just by being Dave and you idiots can't hack it. Cheers to Dave!
Tommy's wigga act does suck, but the is and has always been an animal on the drums. Nuff said.
Metallica is still suffering from the loss of Newsted. Go watch the band live now and you'll know what I mean.
Gilby is probably the least famous guy here, but he's actually a good song-writer and guitar player. He did a few solo records after the Guns and Roses meltdown that had a lot of good tunes on them.
Anyway, free your mind and your ass will follow. It's a good show---give it a chance.
