THE CAPTAIN'S LOG

There's is absolutely NO crying in metal music.

I just saw the most un-motherfucking-metal movie since Beaches.

I really really really hate Metallica. Some Kind of Monster put me so close to losing my cool. Hella close.

Its hard to formulate actual thoughts for the feelings I've got right now.

Those clowns are the most pathetic foursome to ever happen to rock music. I swear, a Kenny Loggins Behind the Music would be cooler than watching schmucks like Lars Ulrich piss and moan about bullshit.

Ozzy needs to do his metal duty and kick metallica's ass. Goddammit, Ozzy... get em.

Well, to be fair, I hate Metallica as musicians too. Just so I state my bias... I think Metallica has always sucked and is one of the most overrated snips of pop culture since Star Wars.

I'm no musician, nor expert... but I look at metal music in two distinct camps. Ozzy, Black Sabbath, fuckin Iron Maiden, Dio, Priest, Black Label Society, etc represent one camp of metal... the only camp of metal I really think is worth a shit. The other is of course the newer thoughts of metal.... like Metallica, fuckin SlipKnot, bullshit like Mudvayne, and like. I think its lame girly grunge and no no no props.

I can't see how kickass songs like Holy Diver and then bullshit licks like Wait and Bleed can even be considered the same genre of music. Both say "metal" and I say "wait a minute, here." Dio legit; Slipknot eight kinds of bullshit.

I'll even throw it down this far: Hair Metal is harder than Nu Metal.

Recognize.

But back to Metallica... I'm not through with you fuckers just yet.

Maybe I understood this wrong... but do those guys have a fucking nanny?? A fella that is on hand at all times to listen to their temper tantrums and kiss their boo boos??! Are you fucking kidding me?? Soooo not metal.

Basically I wanna say that I have never liked Metallica, and this movie just proves my theory. Those guys just showed the world the punkass dorks they've always fucking been. Word.

There's no crying in metal music, dave mustaine!!

I loved the part where they were listening to the playback of this hard metal song, and James Hedfield is sitting there with his little toddler in his lap, wearing a baby Gap shirt. Holy fucking shit, things can't get much lamer.

And I know this seems to be a pretty touchy issue... but I really have no choice but to go 'there'. But if you're in rock music, and you can't deal with deaths in the band, then sucka I think you may be in the wrong biz. Understandably, it sucks when a musician dies... but shit... Cliff Burton has been dead a long ass time. Codependent ninnies getting all weepy and such. sooo not metal.


But on a sympathetic note, I just can't understand how those guys can watch this movie and think its gonna be good for metallica's credibility. Honestly, man... its fucked up.


To be real, I feel strongly about the issue, or else I wouldn't give it air. I'd call an expose into Metallica being posers but they've gone ahead and done it for me. Yah heard!?

And then Lars said, 'When James was around Dave, it was like he didn't care about me anymore.'

Man they deal with issues like that on Saturday morning cartoons. Fuckin a.

Argh... I really hate metallica. really.

Boo hoo, James is scared to go on tour because he doesn't wanna fall of the wagon... very un metal.

This is one mainstream mess.... and I gotta sleep sometime.

The Ninja is signing out.

Sa Da Tay!
