New Metallica video-“The Day that Never Comes”

“The Day that Never Comes” from Metallica’s latest album Death Magnetic due out on September 12th, 2008.

A battle of “cultures”-Emos vs. punks and metalheads

Apparently, there’s a burgeoning Emo scene in Mexico, which may have something to do with the wave of immigrants coming to the U.S.  More research is needed on that.   Anyway, as if the news that Emo has spread to Mexico isn’t sad enough, apparently the Emo kids have been targets of violence lately. Punks and metal kids can’t stand emos for “ripping off the scene.” Yes, that’s right, the pinnacle of culture that manifests itself in punk and metal kids is in danger of being denigrated. Ck. out this MTV News clip detailing animosity between the 3 <gulp> cultures.

 

My favorite, and most accurate, Emo video, “Tickle Me Emo” from Mad TV.

 

Metallica continues its dual goal of alienating fans and battling that damn “inter-web thingy”

Silly Metallica. The situation is like this.

1. Metallica invites select bloggers to review some tracks to their new album.
2. Metallica does not make bloggers sign Non-Disclosure Agreements.
3. Said bloggers naturally post their review/thoughts/impressions of the songs on their respective blogs.
4. Naturally, Metallica orders the blogs to remove the reviews, all of which were positive.
5. Read full, sad account of Metallica sticking it to the man fans.
