Lars Ulrich Pops His Illegal Downloading Cherry
We all know that Lars Ulrich is an angry man. He's so angry that drumkits literally weep when they know he is nearby. But Lars Ulrich isn’t alone when it comes to being angry. Oh no, he is part of a band called Metallica with three other angry middle aged balding men. Maybe their belts are on too tight? It isn’t clear if tomato ketchup, pandas or cacti add to his anger, but we know one thing that does - illegal downloading! Mention that to Lars and he’ll knock you into the future. But he appears to be having a change of heart. He’s just admitted to stealing music off the internet.

Run-DMC & Metallica For The Rock And Roll Hall Of Snooze
People, get ready for four full months of nerve-shredding anticipation - the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame inductees have been announced. And are we ever excited. In just 79 short days we'll get to see the likes of Run-DMC, Metallica and Bobby Womac get inducted into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame - literally the place to be if you're a fan of both brain-aching corporate bureaucracy and the sight of people old enough to be your grandparents unironically dressed up like teenagers and looking a bit confused. We can't wait. We literally can't wait. Oh, no, our mistake. We can wait. Sorry.

Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame Shortlist: Run-DMC, Metallica, Other Old Gits
It's our favourite time of the year - the time when the shortlisted nominees for next year's induction to the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame are announced. Why is it our favourite time of the year? Because we know that from hereon in, it's going to be a whistlestop pedal-to-the-metal seven-month funride until the bands eventually chosen to go into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame get properly inducted. Seven months. Seven poxy months that we'll never get back. Fun. So who could be going into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame next year? Why only Run-DMC, Metallica, The Stooges, Jeff Beck, Wanda Jackson, Chic, Little Anthony And The Imperials, Bobby Womack and War. That's War the concept of organised military disputes between feuding nations and not War the 1970s jazz-funk fusion band responsible for hits like Why Can't We Be Friends, by the way. That struck us as weird, too.

Metallica Vs YouTube: It’s On!
Over the billions of years that mother Earth has been around, it would be unimaginable to think that the planet’s inhabitants regularly made each other daisy chains and held hands. Cavemen and other badly dressed warriors have been caught up in thousands of blood curdling wars. Some so ferocious and terrifying that Ross Kemp’s gang programme makes him look soft compared to Roman Emperors and Greek Gods who ate babies for pudding. When people saw sense, removed their spears from their rivals' intestines and vowed never to fight again, the world became a better place. But then again, these ancient fighters never had to deal with celebrity folk flinging words at each other today. In the creaking era of Britpop, it was Blur vs Oasis, and today everyone is entitled to have a pop at Kerry Katona. Some people, however, feel that arguments with humans are pointless. Why bicker with someone who could counter your argument when you can do it with a technology that can’t respond? Metallica’s James Hetfield certainly thinks so.

A Thank You Note For Metallica
Being Metallica must be great - you get to be in a metal band for 20-odd years, you get lots of money, you get to tour the world many times over and you get legions of devoted fans. Oh, and you get to be complete and total prannocks about seemingly everything involving the internet, yet still somehow manage to maintain the credibility that would clearly be destroyed if you were any other musical act in the world. Things, they are strange. For this time Metallica have decided that allowing people they have invited to listen to their new music to review it would be something of a cardinal sin. Possibly on a par with the holocaust, but we're still waiting for a quote on that one.
