Born in the USA

Happy Independence Day to the US of A.

Metallica are big news in our house at the moment. I love Metallica, rock, heavy rock etc always have but Jamie has got into Metallica big big BIG way. We are currently being subjected to Metallica all day, he is either playing one of their CD's, playing their videos or trying to play their music on his guitar. Mike and I were really impressed when he found the guitar tabs and a video of how to play their song One on YouTube and is teaching himself to play it. Mike is helping him out and he has been getting some help from his guitar teacher at school, who is also a Metallica fan. He is hoping he is going to get Guitar Hero Metallica soon! Will be able to bear it!

So in honour of Jamie's Metallica obsession here are his favourite Metallica songs (in order of preference he was very particular about that!). Although I expect this is going to change regularly!

1. St Anger


2. Nothing Else Matters


3. Whiskey in the Jar


4. The Memory Remains


5. Mama Said


6. Unforgiven III


7. One


8. Enter Sandman


9. Unforgiven II


10. The Day Which Never Comes

Quite a sophisticated list for a 9 year old - he does like Taylor Swift and Lady Gaga too! Jamie has been influenced by our musical tastes from an early age. I can remember a couple of years ago Mike playing Focus quite a lot and Jamie really latched onto the song Sylvia. When Mike went to see Jan Akkerman at The Stables (a super smallish venue near MK) Mike had to get an autographed photos for Jamie!

And my Metallica list would be (in no particular order)

1. Unforgiven II


2. Nothing Else Matters


3. Mama Said


4. King Nothing


5. Memory Remains


6. Until it Sleeps


7. One


8. Whiskey in the Jar (better than Thin Lizzy for me)


9. The Day That Never Comes


10. Seek and Destroy
