Metallica

[Rick and Roll]

from Dot-Lee:

[What I think? I think metallica on the Moon is about as bad an idea as putting me in charge of the diplomatic mission to Vatican City]


I would never propose Metallica to be on the Moon. I simply feel they have certain songs that are just as progressive as most other artists, and that it's lost in the heaviness.

But again, I've said that before and I'll repeat it, I am not proposing them for the playlist.

Excellent. I love the band, did a show on them, like all that they are about. When I read a quote such as this it gives me a perspective of why they never caught on as progressive.

I can't relate when I hear "oh that sucks, etc"...but when I read this theory, it's a valid point and inarguable.

It explains why a band like Queen can be on the Moon but not them. And that's why I don't push inclusion on the playlist.

I think for my show I will toss in a few cuts here and there instead of featuring certain acts in full.
