Disposable Heroes

by | Dec 16, 2019

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.
