Looks like you're gonna have to "ship" in a new graphics card! Don't worry, we won't "harbour" grudges if you do. However, if you brag about it you will get "astern" talking to. Don't let the missus know though, it'll "destroyer" sense of humour. :P


I'm so, so, so, sorry for posting that :roll: I need help :cry:

METALLICA SURPRISES CROWD AT DOWNLOAD FESTIVAL
Jun 02 - 1:38:00PM
The European festival season kicked off this weekend (May 31st and June 1st) with the Download festival in Donnington, England. A big surprise for fans attending on Sunday (June 1st) was the unannounced performance from Metallica. The band played a surprise nine-song set on the festival's second stage, which meant only some five to eight thousand people, a small portion of the 38,000 in attendance, were able to see Metallica perform.

Metallica was initially billed as Apocalyptica, the European quartet famous for its classical adaptations of Metallica classics. Organizers kept the band's appearance a secret in the weeks prior to the festival, denying any rumors that Metallica would appear. Drummer Lars Ulrich told Cathy Campagna from Metal Edge magazine, that the band wanted to play a small-scale show in the middle of the day. Ulrich explained, "We didn't want to take away from our headlining spot at the Reading Festival."

I have no problem with the riffs at all. I hate the metallic echo effect they have put on the drums in most of the songs. What were they thinking? It is probably Bob Rock again ...

St Anger, Shoot me again and Sweet Amber are the best so far.
