Metallica No Longer Satanic

What used to be a band known for "satanic influence" and non-stop drinking and thrash rage of the past, has now spent more than $1.3 million on therapy.

In the article Metallica Ditch Satan, you can read more about how the band, between their mp3 crusade, is now using group hugs instead of fists.

Not the Metallica I remember listening to when Master of Puppets came out, and definitely not the "yeaaah yeahhh heaaah" James Hetfield I recall from the ground-breaking ...And Justice For All.

How can they play the old tracks like "Am I Evil?" from Kill 'Em All with such lyrics as: "Am I evil?.... yes I am."
