「滾石雜誌就是一本娛樂雜誌！」
中年搖滾客Anyway對我這麼說，我十分震撼。以往對它專業搖滾音樂雜誌的理解難道是錯誤的嗎？然而滾石既有它的政治社會態度，同時介紹歌手故事或記錄發言時，也都會形塑一個關心社會的搖滾英雄或是搖滾英雌。看來是我自己的理解或切入面有問題，Anyway說的很有道理啊！也回應我看國內音樂雜誌貧乏無趣、國外音樂雜誌豐富迷人的通感。

最近有一則關於已進入搖滾名人堂的搖滾老團金屬製品Metallica的近況報導與專訪：
將在音樂祭上重新表演整張Black Album經典專輯
Ulrich, singer-guitarist James Hetfield, guitarist Kirk Hammett and bassist Robert Trujillo will perform the Black Album at their Orion Music + More festival
Enter Sandman(1991年莫斯科現場演唱會)
同時也在一邊製作他們的3D電影中
An eight-show run in Mexico City will feature an extravagant new stage that is a component of the 3D movie Metallica are developing with director Nimród Antal.
Fade To Black(搶救雷恩大兵Saving Private Ryan)
吉他手說：做你的音樂祭，做你的音樂，這實在太酷了。變化是生活的最佳佐料。
Everyone in the band had a loud say in the wide range of acts on the rest of the bill.
"Do your festival, do your movie – it's all so cool," Ulrich raves. "Variety is the spice of life."
主唱James Hetfield說：當我們在丹麥錄音時，我們睡在倉庫，當我們醒來，就走下樓錄音。錄音後再上樓睡覺。但這是最棒的，假如你在一個搖滾樂團裡，你會想要這樣的生活，而且我們辦到了。
When we recorded in Denmark, we slept in the tape [storage] room. We'd wake up, go downstairs and record, then go upstairs and go to bed. But this is the ultimate. If you're in a rock band, you want this. And we got it.
記者：很多樂團如果經歷三十年後，腳步節奏都會放慢下來……
……我們從未這樣做過。很多人想要我們就此停止……為什麼你要止步？還是有太多很酷的東西可嘗試。我向來有顆開放的心，有好點子就會認真思考：守成是什麼狗屁！那會錯失那不再到來寶貴契機。
After 30 years, a lot of bands would start slowing down.
A lot of bands would say, "I wonder what 30 years feels like. We never made it." There's a lot of people who want us to stop. This is a gold-plated problem. Why would you stop? There are so many cool things still. I don't want to say no to something and then think later on, "What an asshole. You missed out on something that is not coming again."
還有蠻多內容請自行觀看網路版滾石><

連署讓Metallica來台灣!!!!! 討論- KKBOX 2F寫道：
「我記得多年前Metallica 有來過~暖場樂團找的也是台灣知名地下樂團
可能當時搖滾還不是很被接受,聽說當時票房沒超過2千..讓他們很沒面子的敗興而歸.
之後想再邀請他們似乎有難度~不過我還是去簽到哩
可...好笑的事發生了...在我塡上Taiwan Taipei 然後留下資料送出後
頁面一轉換就放著一首歌....
