As a Black chick who grew up in lily white Rhode Island in the suburbs her entire childhood, I will proudly proclaim my love of old hair bands/arena rock such as Warrant, Extreme, Poison, Def Leppard, etc etc. By no means would I ever say those bands are heavy metal, which to me are bands like AC/DC, Metallica, Iron Maiden, Ozzy, Megadeath etc etc (as far as 80s/90s) IMO.

With that said, the day I saw the pics of Metallica with their hair cuts I went thru all 5 stages of grief like someone killed my childhood pet. And to me the band was NEVER the same on some real sell out shit. By the time the doc came out and I saw James acting like a bitch yet again, I was done & not surprised at all. I like to think of And Justice for All as the end of Metallica's catalog and forget what happened in 1996 as well as post-96. Also I never felt closer to Chemda before lol I am so glad to know I was not alone in my reaction. Enjoyed Tim, will definitely check out his show.
