Metallica was announced as one of the finalists for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame for the 2009 class.  It’s only fitting that the band that has influenced Metal and hard rock the past 26 years be put in their 2nd year of eligibility.  The only thing that pisses me off is lars’ attitude about it and his comment about Dave Mustaine inducting them.  It’s not like Dave told them to piss off and went off on his own, they dumped him.  I’m not saying they didn’t have their reasons but why be a complete piece of shit about it?  I honestly don’t see a reason why Megadeth shouldn’t be inducted at some point as well.  It’s not like Dave didn’t help Metallica get established and get their contract.

Anyway, here’s the Lars comments…

There should be a nice YouTube video here but apparently the person that uploaded it decided to not allow external embedding so….
