I thought it was cool, anyway. I mean, nevermind that Dave Grohl and the Foo Fighters are not only more culturally relevant and infinitely more talented than Metallica, who haven't delivered a legitimately great album since ... And Justice for All, it's still kind of cute to see a fan letter from one Rock God to another.

"Dear Metallica,

"Hey, it's Dave! Remember me? Yeah, I'm the guy that's been listening to your band faithfully since 1983. I bought your first album 'Kill 'Em All' from a mailorder catalogue called Under The Rainbow, I think. Actually I can't remember. It was 1983 for Christsakes! But that album changed my life and I've been listening to your albums ever since (even 'St Anger'!).

"I can't wait to hear the new shit, and no matter what you guys do I'll always be first one at the shop waiting to hear it. I'm sure you'll come out and blow everybody's fuckin' minds, because you're fuckin' METALLICA!

"Good luck. And don't release it until it's kick-ass.

"Yours, Dave Grohl.

"P.S. Are you finished recording the drums yet?" (Source)

It's kind of sweet, in a devil horn's rock-your-face off kind of way, huh?

I'm talking to the wrong crowd, aren't I? All well, stick around: I'm sure Paris Hilton is about to do something stupid.
