Millionaire Rock Stars

Live Earth - the BBC decide that Metallica aint good enough for the great British public, and cut their set to bits. And don't get me started with the shameless treatment of Spinal Tap.

What really peed me off though was one persons comment that 'tallica were their 'usual condescending boring millionaire excuse for a rock band'....yeah right dude - whatever!

If thats what they were, then I'd rather that than some jumped up newbies just out of nappies sounding just like the next jumped up newbies just out of nappies...

All I can say, is that of ALL the gigs I've been to (and, over the last 25 years, thats a quite a few!) Metallica hold top spot for quality, audience reaction and energy. And they are by no means my favourite band - probably just top 20.

Sometimes experience holds sway over youthful enthusiasm!
