Metallica:
Hi Everyone,
Yesterday was a truly awful day in both US and world history. Many lives have been senselessly lost, and many more affected and scarred by the sheer enormity of this tragedy.
We've all been reading some of the postings on the message boards. The compassion, intelligence and emotions shown by Metallifans towards each other has been an awesome sight to behold. It is particularly great that within the Boards, there have been no outbursts of hatred or ignorance, only compassion and support which are the ONLY things that can TRULY help right
now.
We wish to add our sincerest thoughts and prayers to those directly affected by the tragedy and those who (like many of us) feel thoroughly shaken and destabilized by the events. Our words are meager in comparison to the tragedies, but they're all we can offer right now. Again, we are so sorry.
There have also been a couple of questions about the guys: we can confirm that all were on the West Coast, and thus not physically affected.
It's at times like this that reaching out to each other, as many of you have been doing, is vitally important. Keep up the conversations, play Metallimusic if it helps, play whatever music/do whatever you need to do to feel a little better and know that every single person in this office feel the same sense of sorrow as you.
We've always looked at Metallica Fans as a large, extended family, and right now, we're all with you.
Again, to those who have lost family members, our deepest and heartfelt regrets.
Take care everyone and hang in there,
The Metallica Family
