Thanks Idle. All I found was this on their forum:

idk cuz they deserve it maybe?

heres a fantastic article of him handing out some well deserved slagging.

I disagree with what he said about Black Flag though. Family Man and Process of Weeding Out were good, it was after that they started to take a dive. Loose Nut wasn't bad, but I never liked In My Head and obviously What The...? is absolute shit. I really just want to pretend that What The...? doesn't exist. Greg Ginn was such a cool dude and hes a total **** now.

Those people seem to miss the part where he says these bands were good then blew it, not he hates these bands and they were never good. Plus why would anyone defend Metallica anymore?

I like how they couldn't pick on Buzz's music so they went for his hair, and the fact that they don't play arenas, like that's the pinnacle of musical achievement.

Yeah, way too many people equate popularity with quality...unfortunate for them....good for us.

Derr ... if they're so good, how come they're not famous?!

The fact that actual people I've actually conversed with actually think this way will never stop blowing my mind.

Melvins are famous....Kurt Cobain liked them

Buzz hair is one of the coolest aspects of the bands image, at the start of The Melvins-gig in Brixton last may, a gal in front of me got in extazy seeing Buzz hair. She showed her friend, shooting her hands from her own head what she thougt about it, she went bonankas.

Excellent comment. A+ would read from poster again.

Pretty amazing that they found so many people who apparently DON'T think Metallica has sucked for a long time.

[GrimReaper]

AV Club asked him to do a list of 10 Things. This is what he came up with. What do they want? a Ten best Metallica albums list?

or How about Buzz did a list of ten lists that pertain to Metallica?


How about a fucking list of the 10 Most Attractive Flight Attendants?

This actually pissed Mike off.
