Some of you may have heard of Ally the piper, a girl who plays the bag pipes and does covers n all sorts. She recently posted a TikTok with a video of her playing a few short clips of Metallica tracks. Well some troll made this comment ... and who should step in to defend her, but Metallica themselves. After this initial post, they followed it up stating that they use AC/DC - It's a long way as their intro song, which is well known for having bagpipes in it. The troll has continued to argue and insult people, including Metallica telling them they are wrong, that he knows everything and he is highly intelligent despite spelling errors and nonsensical sentences that make no sense. News in the USA have picked up the story and have even had interviews with Ally about it. Fucking great when bands take time to support smaller artists from trolls like this.

Funnily enough just watching this on YouTube as I came here ha ha

Won't mean much to most on here, but this video was shot in the top 80s rock/metal club in London which I used to be a semi regular at. This was like the second or third venue (maybe more) and has moved at least twice since then. DJ Belle Star recently passed away, and was an icon of the glam scene. Ben Christo of Night By Night/Diamond Black was also a DJ there alongside Belle for several years.

eh?

Just for reference it is a cover of this song. I had never heard of it before, unsurprisingly.

Hopefully getting my Jap copy next week as bought it direct from Rob and still in transit to him.

Ben Christo of Diamond Black

Some people have already recieved their copy. If you ordered direct from the record label website, there is a chance you might get yours early too. I decided to go for the Japanese version, even though I already have the bonus track in demo form, as Rob is being sent a bunch from the Japanese record label. Still typical lumpy price for Jap release, but postage is a damn sight cheaper.

While I didn't dislike the "modern" sound Alice adopted from Brutal planet onwards, I love the fact that for the last few albums he went back to his classic sound, amalgamating his 70s and 80s sound. Still sounds great.

Listening to a few bonus tracks so thought I would add them as a bonus today: Full album, but should be queued for the bonus track, Bad Luck And these guys

Frontiers are just overly expensive. In the UK pretty much every Frontiers release is around £14, which is why I am now picky and choosy what I order, and they rarely drop in price over time like they used to. As an example of what I mean by overly expensive. I just got Godsmack - Lighting up the sky which only cost £8 brand new. New Avenged Sevenfold was only £11 New Steel Panther £9 Metallica was a lil more at £13 but still less than most Frontiers releases.

Dont care if its been posted before. This my fave METAL song of all time
