I just remembered that Metallica has a song called "Fixxxer" from Re-Load.

    I don't listen to their music (though worked for them for a bit) but isn't Re-Load a bastard-child of an album for them?

    I worked in NYC/NJ area for two promoters, basically managing backstage and helping out touring groups in arenas and stadiums, and on a number of occasions during metallica at shows. Their tour management got to know me pretty well, so they would call me to help them out with their SNL performance and other rehearsals when they were in the NYC area. I was asked to go on European tour with them in the late 90's but declined.

    I don't know one album of theirs from another, but the "re-load" comment made me remember something. I remember backstage at Giants Stadium a few days before their shows there the production manager for M said he wanted me to come up with a sign for M's manager since the manager always complained that they never saved a parking space close to the venue for him. Off the top of my head, and only knowing it was the "re-load" tour, I suggested a sign saying the manager's name huge, below that saying "Loading, Unloading & Re-Loading Zone Only" like an airport sign. It was funny that it came off the cuff so quickly, but he loved the idea. :) That was a funny little moment. Cool enough was the two people I worked with with M were vegetarians, and so am I.
