. (hennemusic) The Mini-Band has some new fans: Metallica. The Mini Band are a Thatcham, UK group made up of 8 and 10-year-olds, and videos of them playing hard rock and heavy metal tracks by Metallica and Guns N' Roses have become YouTube faves.

Metallica recently offered their support to the group via a video message: "By the time you guys are our age, so you're gonna be so incredibly great!" raved guitarist Kirk Hammett. "They're already incredibly great, man," added bassist Robert Trujillo.

"You guys rock! You guys are very cool," said drummer Lars Ulrich. "Maybe someday we can work something out. We could come out and open up for all y'all, if you guys will have us. We're just getting started. We're an up-and-coming hard rock band out in Northern California, so if you'll have us, we're there for the taking." more on this story
