According to MI there is a story breaking with some news/media outlet in the US where they are trying to link some guy killing his family to Metallica because evidence suggests he looked up the lyrics to Battery either before or after doing the deed. The connection is obvious with words like “Smashing through the boundaries, lunacy has found me” and “Pounding out aggression, turns into obsession". Although they do some what loose that obvious connection when it gets to..."Cannot kill the family.”
I suppose given one of the media outlets that picked the connection was People Mag it's hardly surprising. If only the guy had looked up the lyrics to Ride the Lightning he's have only killed himself!
