much the way no one need fear my using the bully pulpit of this program in order to settle scores (real or imagined or to exact revenge from my (fr)enemies, I am 110% certain there is no chance whatsoever Metallica will use their new ownership of a large record pressing facility  in order to silence their many detractors (and/or impact the turnaround time of said naysayers’ projects).  And irrespective of all that, let me state categorically that a)
 Lars Ulrich is without question one of the more inventive drummers of all time,

 c) they totally carried Lady Gaga at the 2017 Grammies
 d) social media would be far more exciting if we had a steady flow of pictures showing James Hatfield killing wildlife.
