Will You Go On A Quest With Metallica: Through The Never? All the way back in January of this year (wow, this year has gone stupidly fast!)

We were sparked into this question by Wednesday’s reveal from Metallica that they are working with Stern Pinball to produce a Metallica-themed pinball machine. That’s right: a pinball machine.

Do you remember when Metallica released St.Anger? You may have repressed it for the sake of your sanity. Traumatic memories are funny like that. Think about human history since that album came out.
