==== IT'S HOCKEY SEASON" =========================================
Once again hockey season is upon us, and it brings us a new Metallica
commerical. This new commercial features highlights of last season set to
Metallica's Fuel. Just a reminder, the band allows the NHL use their music
as a tribute to sport, not for monetary gain. After all, it is the
"Coolest Game On Earth." 



==== WEEKLY VOTE =================================================
The new vote is up on my page. The question is: "Which album do you like

==== PLAYED FOR PLAYBOY ==========================================
Oct 19: Metallica made history. Get this: Metallica did a show in Los
Angeles at the world famous PLAYBOY MANSION! A 45 minutes gig in front of
some of the most beautiful women in the world and other celebrities. Not
the typical Metalli-crowd...The setlist was the following: 

     Die Die Die my Darling (Misfits) 
     Fuel 
     King 
     Turn the page (Bob Seger) 
     Roam 
     Sleeps 
     Sad 
     Sandman 
     So what (Anti-Nowhere).  

Here is what REUTERS had to say about this party: In a surreal display,
rock stars and Playmates mingled with other exotic birds who were free to
roam poolside at the afternoon affair. Guests snacked on burgers and ice
cream underneath a huge tent while gearing up for a performance from
Metallica. The heavy metal favorites blasted such songs as "Enter Sandman"
and an appropriately x-rated cover of the Anti-Nowhere League's "So What."



==== CONCERTS TO PROMOTE GARAGE.INC ==============================
