I don't know about the new Metallica album - they have been going downhill ever since they ran out of albumn names and used Re-load after load. Sounds like a load of bunk!

Now, if you want Metal, and I mean real, f*cking metal, then you should get XM Radio!!! They have a station that plays all current hardcore, death metal, speedmetal; I mean the kind of music that only metal heads listen, too.

My favorites are:
Madball, SOD, Suicidal Tendancies, Motorhead, Iron Maiden, Saxon (although they have become lame since the 70s) Six Feet Under, Type O Negative, Pantera, Iced Earth, Early Metalica, Slayer, Venom, Bolt Thrower, Broken Hope, Exodus, Judas Priest (with Halford - non-Halford music blows), Overkill, Hatebreed, Nothingface, Sameal, Accept, Bruce Dickinson, Exodus, Fear Factory, Obituary, Skarhead, Benediction, and Death.

Just remember one thing:
"If you're gonna die? Die with your boots on!"
