BBC Radio 1's "Rock Show with Daniel P. Carter" aired an interview last week with William Irwin, a professor of philosophy at King's College and the author of the book "Metallica and Philosophy". During the discussion, Irwin draws parallels between the songs of METALLICA and the writings of famous philosophers, including Rene Descartes, Plato, Jean-Paul Sartre and Albert Camus. The specific tracks discussed are "Master of Puppets", "One" and "Wherever I May Roam", and each is backed with APOCALYPTICA covering METALLICA. Listen to a replay of the program at this location. Excerpts from Irwin's book can be found at Google.

Metallica and philosophy. Hmmm.

If Metallica sold out in the forest and there were no metal fans around to listen, would they make a sound?
