Regarding #2, I don't know who the 'Lots' are you are referring to, but I do know people who were OG Friends of Metallica, as in they were at the Metallica Mansion when Cliff Burton auditioned and full circle, invited to join the band when they were inducted into the RRHoF. Your poor mouthing is at odds with the experiences of people who actually know the members of Metallica (well, except for Lars) have always been super down to earth and remain committed to making great metal music for their fans. Personally, I prefer the old stuff, but I don't condescend to the 'Redneck America' sellout bs. You should try not to as well.
