[QUOTE] \*Originally posted by Cisco \* \*\* [quote] Ummm…wrong, I went to school with a family of rednecks from buffalo, ny. [quote] like i said, one of THOSE areas, like buffalo. 🙂 Rednecks do not originate in cities with populations over a million. > [@](#): > > Tatoos + Piercings = Redneck Rednecks are hicks from backwater towns. You must not like young people in general. Every person I have met with piercings could not be called a redneck in any universe; most rednecks, by definition, are too small minded and conservative to get piercings. The term redneck originally refered to people who had to be out side all day working or being dumb-shit lazy, and got burned necks. Smart people with REAL jobs don’t have red necks and AREN’T rednecks. > [@](#): > > And I care…why? you obviously aren’t smart enough to grasp the fact that I’m pointing out that I am educated and not from the backwoods, where one typically finds rednecks. “Redneck” is a term that implies a _distinctly noticable **LACK** _ of education and sophistication. > [@](#): > > Yes it is. Manufactured means that the “artist” had nothing to do with the writing of the music or songs. Like Brittany Fake-Boobs and the Backdoor Boys. Any body who writes their own material, no matter the quality, is better then the teeny-bopper pop crappartists dominating the charts right now. > [@](#): > > You’re a redneck. \*\* aww… but you haven’t met me yet, therefore, you have FAILED to meet my dare and I WIN.

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by oldscratch \* > \*\*And what’s up with Jason? \*\* From what I heard on the radio today, he is leaving the band for “physical reasons”. According to Metallica’s reps, the official reason being given is that he is leaving because he is basically just wore out from all the touring they do. But who knows. The real reasons could be anything. Maybe he doesn’t get along with the rest of the band. Maybe he is addicted to drugs and/or alcohol and is leaving to get sober. Or maybe he is just sick of all of the bullshit and wants to retire or form his own band or something. ---

In S&M you can’t hear Metallica sometimes, in others they drown out the Orchestra. Sorry Recording. ---

**Edward the Head** and **Palmyra** : calm down. Now. Whatever you wish to sling at each other is fine with me. As long as you do it in the **Pit**. If you continue to post in this thread, or this _forum_ for that matter, you shall do so in a civil manner. We now return you to your **Metallica Bashing** , already in progress. ---

A good album at that! They aren’t, as you put it, pussy manufacted music. My .02 cents are that Metallica are out of gas. They lost their edge and should give up while they are ahead. The longer they go on, the worse they look.
