To the members of the band Metallica: James Hetfield, Lars Ulrich, Kirk Hammet. We the fans, consumers and die hard followers of the band Metallica are bringing this petition to your attention. We have spent countless amounts of money buying your music, traveling around the country to see you play live and been hugely loyal to what we consider to be the greatest metal band of all time Metallica. Lately we believe you have foresaken this loyalty by putting your own special interests ahead of those of your fans. Stemming from your recent colaboration with the rap artist formerly known as Ja Rule, and the soon to be released single \"We did it again\". Although we respect your artisitic integrity (the choice to cut all your hair off) and Lars\' problem with computers. We firmly believe that if not for us the fans, your would be living in an efficiency apartment somewhere in El Segundo eating cheese whiz and ramen noodles by the case load. Why have you left us high and dry Is James suddenly intrigued by the thought of getting close to a ghetto boody! Does Lars have such a vendeta against music swapping that he needs to \"put a cap\" in somebody\'s ass! Will Kirk Hammet be growing out his long curly locks again and wants to be first in line for the next Ultra Perm sponsorsed summer concert tour. Don\'t get us wrong...we are entirely \"down wit\" as they say, the whole rock/rap idea. But we have Limp \"Hater-aid\" Bizkit and Linkin \"we\'re really a boy band\" Park for that kind of thing. We never thought for a second that we would have to fit our miniature Metallica dolls with FUBU clothing made from remnents of our little sisters Malibu Barbie collection...do you realize how hard it is to cut those things up with nail clippers Please for love of God, come back to us and we shall gladly pay 150 dollars for a nosebleed seat at our local civic arena. We will gladly skip a few of Grandma\'s insulin injections for the overly inflated price of your CD at Best Buy. And we will run through the streets our local town or province screaming \" I got something to say, I killed your baby today\" as if you actually wrote the song yourself! NO OFFENSE TO THE MISFITS! Just give us something to look forward to. Until then...here are a bevy of concerned Metallica fans that need your time and attention while your finishing your 40 of St. Ides (of course that does not mean you James...you can have club soda). Yours Truly, Fans Of Metallica
