Hey, its Dave! Remember me? Yeah, Im the guy thats been listening to your band faithfully since 1983. I bought your first album Kill Em All from a mail order catalogue called Under The Rainbow, I think. Actually I cant remember. It was 1983 for Christsakes! But that album changed my life and Ive been listening to your albums ever since (even St Anger!). I cant wait to hear the new shit, and no matter what you guys do Ill always be first one at the shop waiting to hear it. Im sure youll come out and blow everybodys fuckin minds, because youre fuckin METALLICA! Good luck. And dont release it until its kick-ass.

Yours, Dave Grohl.

P.S. Are you finished recording the drums yet?

One Response to “Dave Grohl’s open letter to Metallica”

  1. Blabbermouth.net and Metal Hammer both cited each other as the source of this. Metal Hammer (who posted after Blabbermouth) has deleted its story. Blabbermouth had posted first without citing Metal Hammer, but later edited its story to cite Metal Hammer.

    Full explanation here.

    I have requested more information from Blabbermouth.net and from Metal Hammer and will update the post when it comes in.
