Metallica fan Dave Grohl expects a "kick ass" album
- Artists:

Dave Grohl has penned a letter to Metallica instructing the metal legends to produce a "kick ass" album next time around. The James Hetfield-fronted four-piece's new LP is due in the autumn.
2003's St Anger split critics and 'Tallica fans alike, with many demanding a return to the band's thrashier roots. Grohl's letter to them (as posted on Blabbermouth) read as follows:
"Hey, it's Dave! Remember me? Yeah, I'm the guy that's been listening to your band faithfully since 1983. I bought your first album Kill 'Em All from a mail order catalogue called Under The Rainbow, I think. Actually I can't remember. It was 1983 for Christsakes! But that album changed my life and I've been listening to your albums ever since (even St Anger!).
"I can't wait to hear the new shit, and no matter what you guys do I'll always be first one at the shop waiting to hear it. I'm sure you'll come out and blow everybody's fuckin' minds, because you're fuckin' METALLICA!
"Good luck. And don't release it until it's kick-ass.
"Yours, Dave Grohl.
"P.S. Are you finished recording the drums yet?"

why aren't you as good as 'tallica?
i love dave grohl, if only he would do their drums instead of lars...
Dear Ting Tings
Any album you produce no matter how abysmally turgid could be worse than the last Metallica album.
PS. name change?
tsk
and i thought the guy had taste...
still, eats drums for breakfast though...
Been listening
to the first Foos record last few days. What an amazing collection of songs.
Favourite tunes? Good Grief and Floaty possibly but it's all gold.
Anyway off topic but, meh.
i like that his p.s. is subversively saying
"Lars is shite and you know it. pick me!"
^^
this x 5
Hahah
Yet another "URGHHH!!! I fuckin love RAWWKKKKK!!" soundbyte from Grohl. Quality.
yes yes yes
shame the quality rapidly dipped after that :(
Ok, two things.
1) How can Grohl whinge when, as stated, his band have released progressively worse stuff since their debut.
2) I want a beard like him.
