Wasn't it the time Metallica were at their creative peak (at least according to their old-school fans), the Grammy award for best heavy metal performance went to.... Jethro Tull.

Jethro Tull won for a combined category of Hard Rock / Metal performance. ]]>

It's the best album they've coughed up since Justice...but I think of it more like finding a thimble full of water after a few days stranded in a desert. ]]>

I enjoyed the irony of Metallica releasing the MetallicaVault with that live material (which most of was very good, btw). I think, in fact, I enjoyed the live stuff they gave away better than the CD they did with the orchestra. ]]>

Oh, Eric, you know what this will result in . . . hundreds of mostly illiterate responses griping about the last album and a few supportive comments about it, too. Count me in as supporting - a good part of a year later I still think it's a good album. Not a great recording or mixing job, but musically interesting. Metallica fans have proven time and time again that they are some of the most fickle, narrow-minded, and hypocritical fans a band can have. It's no wonder they went in this ultra-heavy new direction - to shed the weight of these mindless, stuck-in-the-past dolts. More power to 'em! ]]>
