Metallica to play with Slayer!

First thing any Metallica fan should know is that they will be playing with Slayer next year. Now let that sit in. Has your brain exploded yet?

I'm not sure but I think they have never played together. But still, that doesn't change the fact that this is the most exciting thing to happen since they decided to quit making the Twilight movies. Actually that never happened but I can dream right?

I heard that the theme for New Moon was going to be 'Of Wolf and Man', but they thought it would be too awesome for their movie so instead they went with some sort of orchestrated garbage (I'm kidding, orchestra music is awesome).

So I got a little sidetracked. But hey, I'm excited as hell. Problem is though, I won't be seeing this concert. Why? Because it's in another country. Yep, it's in Prague. Not only that but also  there will be Anthrax, Heaven and Hell, and Mastodon!  And then this happened:

Here is a link to the story.

So What? The story of "So What".

Any diehard Metallifreak knows that Metallica has a quarterly newsletter entitled 'So What?' So What is a song actually that Metallica plays often at their live shows. But no, they did not write it, they merely cover it. That's right, its a cover. It is by British group "Anti-Nowhere League".

If you have never heard the song, upon hearing it, you will be offended. I mean you WILL be offended. It is the dirtiest song I have ever heard. Seriously. Copies of its initial release were banned in Britain, and subsequently burned. Its basically two guys in a pub (its British after all) having a pissing contest. They list some off the (mostly devious) things that they have ever done, with each one replying "So what?!"

Its one of my favorites though because it expresses the attitude that it doesn't matter what you have done, your not that special. So basically, its a pissing contest that satirizes pissing contests.

In the end though, its a real tounge-in-cheek song. Don't take it seriously. If you are easily offended, don't check it out. But if you think it will be funny, you will be right.
