The Bronx Week: Day 2 |
Enemy Mind: this song deals with the downside of liberation. When someone or something you have control over turns on you and slips away. Liberty man represents the idea of the grass always being greener.
"Enemy Mind" is the side of me that wants to keep some things hidden and to myself. I recorded the vocals for this one night in the studio by myself. 1 beer turned into 13 and there I was at 4am screaming my guts out.

Metallica Hall of Fame Induction Won't Include Founder |
Rollingstone.com: Most likely, Metallica will be inducted into the Hall of Fame next April. Who will be onstage with you? * Hetfield: "Everyone that played on a record should be there. You're considered for the Hall 25 years after your first recording, not after you formed."
Rollingstone.com: That would omit Dave Mustaine. * Hetfield: "He wasn't on a record. Jason Newsted should be up there - he was in the band for 14 years and played on quite a few records - and so should Robert Trujillo."
Rollingstone.com: Will it be weird to be there with Jason? * Hetfield: "There's no reason for it to be weird. We don't want to be part of the soap opera of the Hall of Fame. Everybody wants to see a train wreck, like with Blondie onstage arguing over crap [at the 2006 ceremony]. That really cheapens the moment."

Beatles Mystery Solved? |
"I started playing guitar because I heard a Beatles record�that was it for my piano lessons," says Jason Brown of Dalhousie's Department of Mathematics and Statistics with a good laugh. "I had tried to play the first chord of the song many takes over the years. It sounds outlandish that someone could create a mystery around a chord from a time where artists used such simple recording techniques. It's quite remarkable."
Four years ago, inspired by reading news coverage about the song's 40th anniversary, Dr. Brown decided to try and see if he could apply a mathematical calculation known as Fourier transform to solve the Beatles' riddle. The process allowed him to decompose the sound into its original frequencies using computer software and parse out which notes were on the record.
- It worked, up until a point
