According to SuperLuchas.net, legendary metal band Metallica will be performing at the 2012 WWE SummerSlam on August 19th. This will not be the first time that Metallica’s music has been featured in the WWE world. In 2003, “St. Anger” was the SummerSlam theme, “All Nightmare Long” was the 2008 No Mercy theme, Triple H used “For Whom The Bell Tolls” as his entrance music in Wrestlemania XXVII, and “The Memory Remains” was used between the Triple H/Undertake Hell In A Cell match in Wrestlemania XXVIII.

While there aren’t any confirmed matches, it’s looking very likely that Triple H will be facing WWE wrestler turned MMA fighter turned WWE wrestler Brock Lesnar as one of the main events.

SummerSlam is the second-largest WWE pay-per-view event behind Wrestlemania, so seeing Metallica on the bill wouldn’t be all that surprising. What about you, my dear readers? Think Metallica is a good fit for SummerSlam or is there another band that you think kicks more ass? READ MORE

[Original] Metallica And The Case Of The Entitled Fans
I feel like I need to clear something up. You see, I’ve been kinda hard on Metallica here. I called them “average joe schmoes” in my article about how the Internet stole the mystery of musicians and I ripped Lulu apart in my review. It’s probably safe to say that were one to look solely at my articles about Metallica, you’d think I hated, or at the least didn’t think much of the band. 
But this couldn’t be further from the truth. As a matter of fact, I love Metallica. They’re the band that got me into metal. Nothing Else Matters is the song that inspired me to learn the guitar and is a song I teach to each of my students. Until It Sleeps is still one of my all time favorite music videos. Simply put, I respect the hell out of these guys and rock out to their music all the time.
So why am I bringing this up? After all, I’m not here to just profess my admiration for Metallica. I can do that via Twitter, right? Well, the problem that I see is what I like to call the “entitled fan”. Need an explanation? Well, I shan’t leave my dear readers hanging!
