I almost never watch MTV, but I made sure to tune in for the ICON special with Metallica. I enjoyed it thoroughly. I was a pretty big Metallica fan in my college days (early-to-mid-90's) but kind of dropped off after that. But I'm definitely going to buy their next album (St. Anger) when it comes out this summer.
I liked the format of the show, mixing old footage of the band with interviews and live performances. The boys looked like they got a kick out of seeing these young artists perform their songs, and there was a great deal of mutual respect. I couldn't believe Snizzoop was covering Sizzad but Trizzue, but it was pretty cool that he was there. And even Sean Penn was there too!
Looks like the band is doing well. Rob Trujillo, the new bass player, seems to be fitting in quite nicely. I also thought it was cool that they had interviews with Jason and how he said he's still a huge fan of the band.
