@Slayer @ms_anthrope @ExodusAttack @COPENHELL

Last summer I saw Gary with Slayer at Copenhell. This summer I’ll see him with Exodus at Copenhell. Even though Gary and I both grew up in the same era in the same East Bay, the only three times I’ve seen him play live are in Copenhagen, Denmark.

@Metallica #CliffBurtonDay #metallica @AlamedaCounty

I’ve never been so proud of having been born and raised in Alameda County. Today is Cliff Burton Day in that part of the world. Cliff and I were actually born in the same hospital in Castro Valley.

As I’ve ranted before, Metallica should have called it quits when they lost Cliff. Everything they’ve done after Master of Puppets has been awful. Even with their early songs live, they haven’t been able to reproduce the sound they had with Cliff.
