Is there any fan of Mettalica here?

Is there anyone who can spell Metallica here?

No on any and all counts.....but will not hold it against anyone, nor try to use it for ransoms... ;) *LOL*

Nor can one use my odd tastes in forms amusically related against me.

I will become obscurely vindictive.....

"OMG, it's locked up my streamer and it sounds like barnyard animals in Hell...

...and I can't turn ....it....down.... The volume just...keeps going ....Up....!?"

I have always loved Metallica.  Until "Death Magnetic" came out.  I found it unlistenable.  I had my system adjusted to my usual volume setting and found myself continually getting up and turning the volume down further and further. The extreme compression and overdone equalization was more than I could take.  I stopped listening about 3/4 of the way through.  It went back in the case and straight to Goodwill..  

An old friend of mine here in San Francisco, Ron, came up with the name 'Metallica' for them.... 

Big fan! Just saw them live in August for their no repeat weekend show at Met Life. They still kick ass!

In addition to writing awesome music, their covers are superb! Here’s one of their latest covers…an old Deep Purple classic…
