would this be the same metallica that wrote the song called memory remains which has a go at axl -
'fortune fame gone insane but the memory remains' i doubt it very much
Is that whole song seriously a pop at Axl?
rumors say so, yes
That's a rumour, alright.
Hetfield have stated that the song is about Hollywood in general, people who are stuck in the past.
I will try and find some articles about it, but I'm pretty sure that it isn't about Axl.
