When I was a boy Metallica was actually still a great band. I know that must sound unbelievable. Was there ever such a time?
Yes. This was back in junior high, long before the Black Album and Metallica’s dissent into the place of worst band in the history of the human race.
This one was a heavy influence on me then. First song on the second side of Master of Puppets. For the 2,440-or so Americans killed in the Afghanistan war so far: “Disposable Heroes.”
Rock out with your troops out.
