Dave Grohl to Metallica

2008-05-09 by HighandDriving | 19 Comments
"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?"

I'm definitely excited for this too. I hope james and lars let rob write some of his own stuff. Hes a really good bass player.

I like the letter, although the title had me thinking that Lars got canned and Dave's taking over on drums, heh.

My thoughts exactly!

I'm sure you'll come out and blow everybody's ****in' minds, because you're ****in' METALLICA! Good luck. And don't release it until it's kick-***.


God damn, lay off the pot.

Cute letter. I find myself in the same category of Grohl. Please dont release this album unless its atleast something better than St. Anger.

I like the fact that he asked if they were done recording the drums yet. Wouldn't it be cool if they dropped Lars for Dave?..lol. I'm still really anticipating their new album tho.

With all the bullshit drama this band has going on I doubt they will release another great or solid album again... ever.

Apparently your prodigy bassist dying in a tragic tour bus accident is considered "bullshit drama"?

^ This.

Just thinking about his potential and what could have been makes me shudder. Cliff left us waaaay before his time...

On topic though, Dave is a pretty cool guy, and this is a cool record. Don't care how ridiculous is sounds...I think this new record could be a good one.

Funny stuff. But honestly, Foo Fighters' New stuff isn't a hell of a lot better than St. Anger. Grohl definitely blows Lars out of the water, tho.

I've heard some demos and the music is good but the vocals are weak.
