    I was worried you weren't going to re-read this thread and you'd miss that :D

    Actually, it's supposed to the the magnetic field around the coffin, get it? Death Magnetic. Anyway, here's a quote by James Hetfield explaining the title:

    "Death Magnetic, at least the title, to me, started out as kind of a tribute to people that have fallen in our business, like Layne Staley and a lot of the people that have died, basically — rock and roll martyrs of sorts. And then it kind of grew from there. Thinking about death… some people are drawn towards it, and just like a magnet, [and] other people are afraid of it and push away. And the concept that we're all gonna die sometimes is over-talked about and then a lot of times never talked about — no one wants to bring it up; it's the big white elephant in the living room. But we all have to deal with it at some point. ”

    I have a feeling JH is speaking of Layne in part with his struggles with alcohol and it's severity which could've led to his own death. He's right hardly no one speaks of death. Just today I need to realized I need make living will in case something happens to me and what would happen to my daughter. When we get back from our cruise I'm scheduled to set up one.

    It's a tough subject but one we ALL need to face at some point.
