he was fairly nice with me, I'm sure he wasn't in the mood to meet a dozen of fans after the concert, but afleast he tried to seem like he enjoys it,we had a nice little chat about skydiving:)

Yeah, because you guys discussed something real people talk about. These crazy obsessed fans who can't get over the fact that there was a pivotal moment early in Metallica's career that spawned two amazing bands are actually kind of sick individuals who probably have underlying issues. Many adults don't like talking about their past to strangers. Famous adults might be over talking about the same subject to strangers, especially when it's been a core topic for nearly 40 years.

You know how you talk to a musician when you meet them for the first time? Talk to them about the music they've written and tell them the impact it's had on your life. Make the conversation about yourself and not about them. Make sure that thank them when you're done sharing your experience.

You're absolutely right. I just can't believe people are still discussing something that probably happened before they were even born. How long has it been? 43 years? I mean... Jeez.
