[Rumori] lars owns the chords of E and F

[Brian Flemming]

It's an amazing hoax.

I posted a link to the story on my blog with the note, "It's funny  
'cause it's (almost) true..." and that *still* wasn't enough to clue  
people in. I got emails expressing outrage at Metallica's arrogance and  
a ping from another blogger who thought it was real.

Still, for my own reasons, I don't think a hoax has really succeeded  
until it causes the Korean stock market to lose $3 billion.
