My Soapbox is 99.44% Pure, ¼ Moisturizer, and Leaves you Clean as a Whistle

Somewhere just over decades ago a band named Metallica was formed way out in that kooky land called California. This was a time when your average band wore women’s makeup and did copious amounts of blow off the backsides of groupies. Metallica, much like punk rock of the late 70s and early 80s, represented the counter-culture of music. With politicized lyrics and a steady thrumming of metal they soon found their way into the cassette decks of just about every white kid who drove a firebird and thought that they had something to prove. Jump forward a decade and Metallica releases their “black” album and finds excessive commercial success. Suddenly the fore mentioned white kid’s mothers and fathers, who previously found themselves yelling “Turn that noise down”, are now listening to select tracks from this group. This began the turning point for Metallica. As file share sites like Napster hit their popularity high points in the late 1990s, drummer Lars Ulrich hit his bellyaching high point. Obviously the millions of dollars earned by playing music were not enough to offset the devastating losses of potential earnings that file sharing incurred. Despite the first warning signs of douche baggery, the band remained fairly successful during this time. That is until Bassist Jason Newsted left in 2001, and then the self indulgent pity party started go get underway. In 2004 the band released the documentary; Some Kind of Monster in which the audience was subjected to pathetic narcissistic droll on how difficult it is to be Metallica. As if that wasn’t bad enough, not long after, Front-man and Guitarist James Hetfield checked himself into rehab for alcohol abuse. Here are men that sang about living hard and dying young not just 20 years before acting like the old crotchety seniors that they spent their youth trying to piss off. The final straw, in my opinion, was from an event that happened very recently. Metallica invited a handful of members of the press to listen to a few tracks of their soon to be released album. There were no nondisclosure agreements signed by the journalists, but as soon as the press started to print reviews of the sample tracks Metallica went berserk and demanded that reviews and blogs be taken down. It sometimes pains me to see all of the hypocrisy of the world. I realize that even I, as perfect as I am, am not immune to saying one thing and then doing another, but if I ever get to the point where this blog becomes mainstream, you dear reader have the right to shoot me…preferably with something soft like a nerf or a ping pong ball gun…and not at the eyes…or the genitals.

Enough with the bitching already, here is the WTF
