While reading up on Weezer’s Undone song I learned that Rivers Cuomo thought it to be an almost a complete rip-off of Metallica’s Welcome Home (Sanitarium).

I don’t hear it myself but listening to that song now sure does take me back to another era. Late 80s, crimped hair, jean jackets, time standing still, brain saying rage.

One thing that really set Metallica apart to me from other metal bands is that many of the guitar solos and asides were more like additional vocal melodies than simply shredding frets. See Battery about 2:55 in.

In related news: Tye Trujillo, son of Metallica bassist Robert Trujillo, is playing bass for Korn on their South American dates. 😎

Metallica, Slayer, Megadeth, and Anthrax all playing Am I Evil? Pretty badass.

Saw this up on the bulletin board at the local coffee shop.
