    Randall drives with spare tie rods and axles but doesn't have the hook to get the spare down?
    Had to flambe the tire for dramatic effect?

    So, I think Metallica is terrible right? So we just spent hours on the Tundra forum with people throwing suggestions at me and me giving them a shot to see if perhaps I was wrong. My ears are sweaty, I'm tired, I don't want to listen to music anymore. Oh also, Metallica definitely is terrible.

    Everyone has different taste. Heck, some people don't like the Beatles, some don't like Zeppelin, some don't like the Eagles, Etc.

    But, just because you don't like something doesn't make it terrible. A "terrible" band wouldn't have a 40 year career playing sold out stadiums year after year.

    I'm actually not a huge fan, either. I generally like their music, and really love a few songs. But, it's just not something I find myself listening to on a regular basis. I also tend to prefer some of the stuff that the more diehard fans don't like as much.

    For shits and giggles, here's my last band doing "Jump in the Fire"

    Looks good. Price is right. What breaks on trail? My money is on something that can weld 1 inch cast. My big Miller 350’s can’t even do it with 3 phase (well yes but I’m making a point damn it). Wire is for sheet metal (1/4 inch ish) in my opinion (notice the caveat). Most welds that matter are still done with SMAW

    Thank you! I really thought we were. Sometimes I question myself for quitting. But, at the time it came down to not being able to stomach the thought of being in a van with those guys for 20 plus hours again.

    I saw Metallica in Milwaukee around 99 00 ish. Second row, surrounded by die hard fans that follow the band from city to city. Outside of their more popular songs it was 2.5 hours of being hit by sweat and guitar picks. Just wondering when is this going to end.
    I enjoyed the opening acts more than I did Metallica.
    My second oldest stepson was on their pre covid world tour working as a freelance lighting guy.


    James,,
    I did see a couple of your band videos on YouTube. You guys sounded real good.

    You are one hundred percent correct. I only say they are terrible to see the explosive reactions from people :devil: (have gotten death threats and people wondering if I was raised by wolves) just not for me but obviously they did something right to become so popular. Your band sounds pretty decent! I uh, like the name :rofl:
