If you were going to try to recover from the kind of monumental blunder he made, wouldn't you at least get versed in the terminology so didn't seem like you were totally reading off of a cue card? Lars "speech" is lame & weak. Too little, far too late. Hetfield's swagger is more forced than ever and his vocals seem really weak - more bluster than actual fire. I can't for the life of me figure out why Kirk doesn't jump ship before the boat pulls him under with it. He's the only one of the 3 main guys left who hasn't shot himself in the foot or melted down like some kinda wussy primadonna. He's the real deal.
