Lars Ulrich condones smoking
Ah, the pleasures of hindsight. Lars Ulrich, PR Queen and drummer of Metallica has done it again. Ulrich may hate Napster, but he loves his nicotine.
"This is the best thing I've done, ever, in terms of comfort. I wish I'd started smoking ten years ago and I wish I'd cut my fucking hair ten years ago, it could have been a whole different story! I think smoking kind of mellows me out."
- November 1996
And just to point out you can't always tell the future, Ulrich puts Metallica in the same field as Michael Bolton.
"Now we're up there with those bands whose appeal is very broad and transcends pigeon-holing. There's ourselves (Metallica), Guns n' Roses, MC Hammer, U2, Michael Bolton, Garth Brooks...We all sell to a wide cross-section of people."
- Feb 1992.
I love Lars, he's my favourite Metallican. But my god, can he spin PR like a cyclone and eat his own foot (I had to incorporate the ridiculous photoshop expedition).

Death To Your Speakers
The point of the post, and the accompanying relatively easy to find pictures, was that Madonna and Britney Spears wasn't really being contriversal. Same sex kissing had already been done - by metal blokes.
This is more sensational than two pin-up girls making out because you don't see it as often. Two straight guys kissing are thoroughly frowned upon, whereas a couple of straight girls kissing is cheered and encouraged. The post is a celebration of Metallica breaking the boundarys before anyone else. Did I mention that they're butch metal blokes?
