        Um, unless I'm much mistaken, Metallica *did* sue Elastica. But
Elastica were making such huge pots of money at that point in time that
they shrugged it off out of court as Nirvana did Boston for the `Smells
Like Teen Spirit' riff. And as someone else said I don't think Led
Zeppelin's estate have left Dred Zeppelin alone to get on with it... Help
sharks! Yours,
