Everyone knows at least one Metallica song, don’t they? My stepmom is in her 70s and her knowledge of rock music mostly ends somewhere around Elvis Presley, but I feel like even she, if pressed to name one Metallica song, could still maybe come up with “Enter Sandman.” And if you’re into metal, even if you absolutely hate Metallica, I still expect you to be able to name at least two or three songs. You don’t have to like them; but you should know them. “Master of Puppets,” “One,” “Nothing Else Matters,” “Fuel”, “For Whom the Bell Tolls,” these songs are big enough that I feel like even the biggest Metallica haters in the metal community have just absorbed them into their brains through some sort of osmosis. Well, it seems that Stryper’s Michael Sweet actually wants us to believe that he can’t name one song by the legendary band.

In a new interview with Fugues, JUDAS PRIEST singer Rob Halford, who publicly declared his homosexuality back in 1998 during an appearance on MTV News, was asked if other gay musicians have asked him for counsel over the past couple of decades about coming out. He responded: "Yes, that has happened, but I won't name names because everyone comes out when it's their time. As we all know, set yourself free. It's such a difficult thing for us to do, even now in 2024 because we still have this ongoing challenge of hate and bigotry and intolerance and divisiveness. You think it would be a lot easier, but it's not. The struggle is still very real for young people, and that's where I hope any conversations I have with others do some good."
