No sense in starting a new thread on this, but I have to talk about MTV Icon: Metallica, which aired last night. Obviously, I was stoked, given that Metallica is one my favorite bands of all time. Yeah, it's MTV and all, but overall, it was a pretty decent show. Anyone else watch it?
Some highlights:
The funniest performance of the night: Snoop Dogg singing "Sad But True." Yes...he sang it.
Best performance of the night: Limp Bizkit performing "(Welcome Home) Sanitarium." Korn also did a decent cover of "One."
I believe the last song Metallica performed was the upcoming single from their new album, St. Anger, which comes out June 10th. If it is anything indicative of the album as a whole, it is going to rock the fuck out, and will be the album of the year.
Recently, Ozzy and Metallica traded bassists, with Robert Trujillo (formerly of Suicidal Tendencies/Infectious Grooves) joining Metallica, and Jason Newsted (who left Metallica 2 years ago) joining Ozzy's band to replace Trujillo. Man, Trujillo is a fucking beast...we kinda look alike. And he just wails away on the bass, looking like he is in pain and shit. Crazy...you have to see the performance to see what I'm talking about.
I'm sure it'll be on repeat on MTV 9 million times, so if you get a chance, check it out.
