Metal Shavings will now be called “The Scrap Metal Report” because I think it sounds cooler and I run this show so I can do that kind of stuff. I’ll come up with a logo later. If you’re not familiar with Metal Shavings, it’s basically a breakdown of news events in metal compiled into a list and summarized.
Lamb Of Godsaid no to an offer from Metallica to be an opening act for them following the release of their upcoming Death Magnetic. Lamb Of God said it was due to them getting back in the studio to record their next album. …read more

I started the Metallica Poll 2 weeks ago and today I’m taking it down just to replace it with another useless, yet entertaining poll. Here is the results.
Master Of Puppets, although started off a bit slow won the poll with 30% of the votes (42/138)
…And Justice For All Started out strong but in the past week started to fall slightly short. AJFA took second place with 26% of the votes (36/138)
Ride The Lightning came in third with 16% and 22 votes.
Sadly the Black Album just barely beat out Kill ‘Em All with a 17 to 15. I’m assuming this …read more

I’ve been rating a few of my favorite bands albums lately and I figured I’d not touch this one and I’ve been pondering on a new poll here for quite some time and figured with all the news and hype of Metallica’s new album coming this fall, why not a Metallica poll.

I have included every album to include Garage Inc and S&M but not the Garage Days 5.98 EP. Vote …read more

“Dear METALLICA,
“Hey, it’s Dave! Remember me? Yeah, I’m the guy that’s been listening to your band faithfully since 1983. I bought your first album ‘Kill ‘Em All’ from a mailorder catalogue called Under The Rainbow, I think. Actually I can’t remember. It was 1983 for Christsakes! But that album changed my life and I’ve been listening to your albums ever since (even ‘St Anger’!).
“I can’t wait to hear the new …read more

Holy Crap! I was on my way home from work and I got tired of the new Children Of Bodom CD and decided to put Metallica’s Kill ‘Em All on starting with Seek And Destroy because I’ve been trying to learn it all the way through on guitar. I forgot how brilliant of a record this was for it’s time. It still is, what the hell am I saying. It still hasn’t lost it’s luster after a quarter century. A 1/4 F’n CENTURY!
