Does anyone like their new song? I think its awful, everyone says it grows on them. But it hasnt grown on me yet.

Metallica's old. They're trying to act young. They're also neither AC/DC or The Stones, who can almost pull the trick off. Or Aerosmith- I KNOW they can pull it off.

Espernaut, I think we are almost there.

Josh, another band that can pull it off is Kiss, now im not the biggest Kiss fan but every time they do another farewell tour they sell out stadiums and stuff.

Guys who look like that and sell out stadiums scare me. But I do love a couple of their songs. Personally, I'd like to see a Van Halen tour-- now they were a good hair band!

Well, maybe not Van Halen as a whole but David Lee Roth definitely, I think he inspired a lot of the hair bands in the 80's.

And now.. he's lost most of it I hear.. Hair Care for Men with Elton and the rest, I imagine. About Kiss.. yup, I admit, I liked some of their stuff.. and the attitude. Their gimmick (sounds tiny when you say it that way) with the costumes, super boots, etc.. brought them to everyone's attention. Who esle? Alice and Marilyn Manson (the latest?)

I have noticed that bands are getting younger (starting younger) and leaving sooner. I think record companies are getting desperate for new talent. Most of the major bands are retired, or will be shortly. (retired from touring / new albums, etc.) It seems more solo acts now to me.
