    Hetfield and Uhlrich Ain't Losing Any Sleep...

    These kids have some talent... but not enough life experience to be able to write a fully conceived metal song.

    Then again... the same could be said for some of the heavy metal greats. I mean... Metallica wrote classics like Unforgiven, One, and Outlaw Torn, then later do Saint Anger? But this isn't about them... really. It is about a bunch of kids from across the pond with a desire to rock and to do so in the heaviest of ways.

    I think in a few years they have the potential to do something great. But, meanwhile, they got all the girls fluttering around them... and I believe that is the true point of picking up a guitar and going on stage, isn't it?
