“...Couldn’t be much more from the heart .... And nothing else matters!”

A musician makes music from the heart. And when you start thinking about how much the music is going to impact your bank accounts, you’re not  a musician anymore, you’re just a wh*re who can be bought for money. And while their marketing managers would continue to make Metallica a success and the dollars would keep flowing in, one thing that those folk can never do is what’s beyond that– the true love of a fan (maybe the band would never understand what that means).

Metallica, by what fans have experienced in the last couple of years, might be a good act, but people go to their shows to listen to some old tunes that were made by a bunch of real musicians who did not care about the money. Whereas now all they care about is “who got what” and “who got it all”.

Unhappy about the backstage arrangements, the band decided not to perform at Delhi, not giving a s**t about what fans feel after they have been waiting for more than 30 years to hear the band live. And to top it all the band did not even have the decency to be present at the stage when an announcement was being made. While the venue was vandalized by some crazy folks (which I think is totally wrong), the band itself was to blame for all the chaos that was caused at the venue and the lives of 25000 people was put at risk.

The money killed the heart, and there was never ever no soul. The band moves on for its next show...and Delhi says..we don’t want you here no more!
