Metallica fan.. Anyone?

I do love this band. They are all from the San Francisco Bay area where I live. The band has gone through alot of trials and tribulations and they still have a large fan base even tho heavy metal is not as popular as it once was. I saw them open for the Stones around a year and a half ago. They were awesome. About a year ago a saw them at The Bridge Benefit Show which is an annual acoustic benefit show for challenged children. I must admit, I love Metallica for their metal and I wasn't sure I was going to like an acoustic performance. They changed my mind.

I like the 80s stuff. Master of Puppets is amazing. Their new stuff, though...it all just sounds the same.
