OK, in keeping with the themes of today, here’s an open-letter Dave Grohl apparently wrote to Metallica:

Dear METALLICA,

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 mailorder 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?

Heheh… reminds me of that part in the Metallica movie when Lars plays an unfinished track to his dad and his dad says “No, you should delete that.” And god, how about that fucking movie anyway? It’s unintentional comedy rivals Spinal Tap! Arguments about stopping work in the studio at 3PM to PICK UP THE KIDS FROM SOCCER PRACTICE! You can’t write this shit…

I stole the letter from Buddyhead. Remember them? Shit, I made their website way back when…
