And he doesn’t like the surprise Metallica performance at Download! Writing on the latest Fat Wreck mailout, the NOFX main man said: “We just played a big festival with Less Than Jake, the Real McKenzies, Strung Out, Randy, Bouncing Souls, and everyone’s favorite Metallica. Yeah, we we’re all minding our own business playing in the punk tent at the Donnington festival, when Metallica show up unannounced. They set up before Strung Out and play for an hour and a half. All the other bands got a half hour, but now everyone’s set got cut to 20-25 minutes. I don’t know…Metallica have a few good old songs, but why couldn’t they go to the main stage and fuck up Zwan’s or Audioslave’s set? Why do they gotta come to the punk stage and bum us out? Well not everyone was bummed out, but I was. No one was allowed on stage and all the stinking metalheads with their mullets and moustaches barged into our scene. I guess I’m just a whiner. Yes I definitely bitching about nothing. I got to write about something I guess. Oh the cool thing was that it started pouring rain on Billy Corrigan’s sucky new band Zwan. I think he started to cry. I might be a whiner, but at least I’m not a sniveler like stupid Billy Corigan.”
