OFF: Metallica

[BREVARD, Adrian R.]

>popular music as a whole was dominated by twee romo bands in makeup
>(Culture Club, Duran Duran, Thompson Twins, and worse); a few cock-rock
>dinosaurs still walked the earth (yes, David Coverdale, I'm looking at
you),
>and mostly such metal as was left was horrible big-hair glam from LA (Ratt,
>Poison).  It was horrible.  A generation in crisis looked for heroes.

>Metallica were simply the right band, with the right riffs and the right

They simply set the >agenda for heavy music for several years.

For the first time I do not regret spending the 80's in disco dance
halls...BTW you forgot Motley Cure, Anthrax and a few others...

>But they don't sound a bit like Y&T?

O not at all sir.  Y&T is far more fun and has a much better beat.  Besides
I bet they scored a hell of a lot more than Metallica ever did.  Big hair
will do that for ya 8>).

How much do I owe you for the therapy session Andy?  I'm truly relived by
these developments.

>5]  "Powertrip" will be the lead song on the new Kurt Russell
no-brainer"Soldiers"

New?  That one has already come and gone in the US.

And Theo, just prepare to see Bill Parcel's stalking the sidelines at Pro
Player in January...
