DRUMMER CAFE

I don't even know why Oilrigs even bothers with playing with metallica anymore.  He must want a new ferrari or something.

He's great, I won't throw rocks at him... big influence of mine in the 80's.

My fave part :

Speaking about his replacements – Jordison, Slayer's Dave Lombardo and Metallica's drum tech Flemming Larsen – Ulrich said: "God, I wish I could have seen that. No, on second thought, it's probably better that I don't see it."

Probably right Lars, better that you didnt.  

Oh, I'm not knocking him. I was just tickled by the way it was reported, and the notion of putting down "super-duty metal" as the reason on my next sick note at work.

apparently joey jordison was incredible, and that's understandable, joey jordison has become a lot better since iowa

man, lombardo sittin in on some old school like "whiplash" would rock.  

You say that like it's a bad thing.

Anyway, I went to the site of the now-over Download 2004, and noted at the bottom of the page "© Clear Channel Entertainment 2004".  I wonder—and this is a question, I couldn't easily find the answer anywhere else—if this refers to paid downloads, which I can't see Metallica having so much a problem with?

Oh, and another question if I may—What is the origin of "Large Oilrigs" and other similar puns used to describe Lars Ulrich?  If by any chance the meaning is vulgar (how could it be?), feel free to PM me.
