Thou Shall Eventually Becometh a MetalliFan

First Song: No Leaf Clover. S&M. You heard that song just to get rid of my nagging trials to make you realise how legendary and rocking this band is.

Next Song: Nothing Else Matters. An amazing ballad. You wonder... "Ballad from a metal band?". I say... "Check out parts of the song where he sings in two different pitches at the same time. Check the Symphony at the back. Check the...blah blah blah blah...." Next, find the S&M version of this song. Keep going.

First listen to the original song two times a day. Morning before breakfast. Night after dinner. Don’t drink too much of water after you listen to the song or do not go for an over dosage of the song. Follow this for 15 days. Then get back to me. We shall now improve. Let's start the heavy dosage. How about Fade to Black, Orion or Sanitarium? By this time you will get half crazy about Metallica. If you are a guitarist, you almost got into the groove. Also, if you are preparing for some competitive exam and you have a tiny audio player with you, you are dead. Better give up the preparation and concentrate on the songs completely. Be ready to get heavy and heavily crazy!

Turn on the S&M version of Nothing Else Matters. Follow the same schedule for this song also. Then search for another live version of this song. It’s recorded at Live Shit Binge & Purge Tour, 1991, Mexico. Now you are almost in the groove!

Like how I am.

Now hear that. By now, most probably you will feel like listening to that song at nights, just when you are getting into sleep. Like a lullaby. Sometimes The Unforgiven, from the same live series, serves the purpose. When you are engrossed in work, you are listening to Fight Fire With Fire or Battery. Then the Black Album. Load. Reload. S&M. St. Anger. And then the covers. The $5.98 E.P.: Garage Days Re-Revisited. Another earlier album - Kill 'Em All.

Just think of this - You are in a lift, alone, and you enact as if you are playing a guitar and jump in the lift for the song that’s going in your head. Your friends think you are 'just another rocker'. Your parents think you, and not the band or their songs, are the actual headache in the house. Your dog wags the tail and leaves your room as soon as you get your hands on the guitar. The fellow passengers in the bus request you to reduce the volume on your headphones (even on the headphones!!) during a journey. You wait for people to walk past your cubicle just to bang that head of yours. You get excited and send songs to your buddy just to realise later that she actually hasn't heard that song despite your consistent praises of that song. And later she says "Abbaaaaa... gola!!!!!”(Yes Miss Vej...that’s you!!! x-( ) (Gola = Noise)

If all this happens, theory says "Welcome to Life Metallica".



(A couple of months then on - You got it; Slow and heavy poison)

Now you will feel like exploring the lives of the men behind the Metal Revolution. You will find out in no time that they are actually James Hetfield, Kirk Hammett, Lars Ulrich, Cliff Burton, Jason Newsted and Robert Trujillo. You will love that 'Kick-Ass' pun of Jaymz. You will be stunned by the way Kirk plays (with) his guitar. Stage presence - Redefined by Jason. Bass God - Cliff Burton. Roll with Lars. You will start downloading videos now. And MORE videos. Then Live Versions. Then guitar. Sound. Noise. Life. Bass Solos. Guitar Solos. The drum roll in "One". Rare Videos. YouTube. Google Video. Concert Collections. Bootlegs. Rare Bootlegs. LiveMetallica. More electricity. Even more Life. More and more Life. "Ditch the problems, I have the best MetalliCollection". WOAH!!

Relish all those moments!!

Anyway, what would you call "Dhoom - 2" if it was released in Telugu? Will it be "Dhoomu - rendu"?
