==== FAN CAN 3 DELAYED =========================================
A message from the official fan club: Due to circumstances beyond our
control, Fan Can 3 has suffered another delay. We are currently
experiencing problems with the video. 

We hope to have this problem fixed and begin shipping theFan Can 3 in
approximately 2 more weeks. 

Once again, we thank those of you that ordered Fan Can 3 for your
patience, and we assure you that these problems will be worked out and you
will have your Can sooner than later. 



==== SITE NEWS ===================================================
New stuff added and updated every-day. Check out the new and improved
message board. Go and discuss your favourite Metallica subject.



==== TOP 100 ALBUMS =========================================
The webpage Wall Of Sound had a survey where they asked people what was
the best album of all time. Nirvanas "Nevermind" hit number 1, while the
25.000 entries gave Metallicas black album a good 46th place. This is a
bit strange as my survay last week gave the black album a silver medal.
The question were then what is your favourite Metallica album, and 22%
voted for Master of Puppets 



==== UK RELEASE DATE =============================================
It's finally confirmed that the actual UK release date for The Garage Days
re-release will be on the 16th November. It has also been confirmed that
it will be called Shitload, their will also be a live video released to
co-inside with the re-release of The Garage days. The date for release in
the states is now on the 17th November.
