I'm on song 5 and it's like Hammett was the only one who showed up

 

metallica = samson

they lost all their strength with the cutting of their long hair

 

friends don't let friends get friends haircuts

 

obviously during the black album days, they were thinking about the haircuts and this began to affect their powers

 

just because the song is 8 minutes it doesn't mean it's a throw back to "puppets or justice" It's 8 minutes of suck
i'll continue listening anyway..... why, i'm not sure.
