Posted by on May 31, 2017

YouTuber Jared Dines just released one hysterical video that will make you wish Lady Gaga would collaborate with Metallica on their non-existent eleventh studio album.

Posted by on April 10, 2017

The Grammy’s pairing of Metallica with Lady Gaga was one of the most talked about collaborations in years, and it turned out to be somewhat of a dud, through no fault of Gaga or Metallica after Hetfield’s mic went silent for about half the song. Regardless, it was seen by many, and got everyone talking, […]

Stagehand “accidentally” pulled Metallica’s plug at the Grammys

Posted by on February 13, 2017

Adele got a redo, while Twenty One Pilots claimed their award pantsless, since that’s what how they first watched the awards together (we wish we were making that up). We have already said what we didn’t like about the awards, but James Hetfield”s mic disappearance during the Metallica/Lady Gaga collaboration topped the list, and […]
