No, this is not the place to download mp3s of Metallica
songs - for that you'll have to ask their lawyers ;-). It's just my
stuff here, songs I've worked on and recorded on my four-track. I have
a penchant for spoken word vocals taken from TV shows or elsewhere
and put to an appropriate musical backing. It's all strictly amateursville, and pretty
rough, but I think you'll like it if you find the titles and their descriptions
interesting.
