I also enjoyed Metallicas James Hatfield saying that if they can’t make songs their fans will all like, that they have to love them, and that it has to “come from within”. Does that sound like emo crap to you?  I know Load and St.Anger weren’t really classic Metallica, but when you hit middle age you’re going to get less hardcore (Kieth Richards is of course an exception, anybody that snorts his fathers ashes is hardcore in my books).  But just because you’re old, and the kids these days love emo bands does NOT give you permission to destroy what tiny last shred of credibility you had.  It reminds me very much of a MuchMusic special with Good Charlotte, after their last new album.  In their heavy black makeup, black leather and ridiculous hair they yakked about how much it took out of them to make the album, and how it came from within.  I hope after their next album the combine and make… Good Metallica! (Hahahahaha)
