As a long time Metallica fan, I of course went right to Walmart and bought Cunning Stunts as soon as it was available. The concert was excellent but I was suprised and offended that Hetfield's swearing was dubbed in backwards. I've seen Metallica over 15 times and I bought Binge and Purge, Cliff'em All and Year and a Half....all of which were uncensored. Not that I particularly care for swearing that much, but two things really bother me about Cunning Stunts being censored. The first being that I'm not a kid, so I take offense to someone else deciding which words I shouldn't hear. and secondly, this chopped release leaves me with the feeling that I'm not getting the full deal like I normally do from Metallica.
I swear I will never buy another video or CD from Walmart because my friend bought the Papa Roach "Infest" cd and it's swear words were just missing. My copy of Infest, which I bought at Warehouse was uncensored. Like I said earlier, I'm not advocating bad language, but I think that there should maybe be a "kid's cut" and an "adult's cut" available, and have them clearly marked so I don't have to have my music softened-up for me. When you were a baby, your mommy had to cut your meat for you, but now that you're all grow'd up, you'd kill her if she made a move toward you with a knife, right? All-righty then.
