I was just now reading the Wikipedia article on James Hetfield of Metallica and came across this line:
[QUOTE=Wikipedia]
During a live performance on tour for the Metallica, Hetfield experienced complications with his vocals after performing a cover of the Anti-Nowhere League song “So What?”, forcing him to take vocal lessons for the first time.

What were these “complications with his vocals”? A search of the internet reveals nothing, just the same line copied on other websites and blogs. Anyone know?
I can’t find a definitive cite, but I would suspect he had vocal cord nodules.
Maybe he lost the ability to say “ah” after each phrase he sang.
Shame…the live audience may well have missed “I fucked a sheep, I fucked a goat, I rammed my cock right down its throat. So what”
