On a sadder note - "Ohio" is a protest song and counterculture anthem written and composed by Neil Young in reaction to the Kent State shootings of May 4, 1970, and performed by Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young.[1] It was released as a single, backed with Stephen Stills's "Find the Cost of Freedom", peaking at number 14 on the US Billboard Hot 100.

The Lords of Summer Metallica

"We promised our fans we'd play a new song and we've been writing and creating away and we're going to throw something at them on Sunday," Metallica's Lars Ulrich told Rolling Stone last week. "We have something lined up that is fairly representative of where our creative headspace is at right now. It's one of those things that's like, 'Here, we're writing and we're creating.'"

The metal legends debuted the new song — the epic, eight-minute "Lords of Summer" — at their concert in Bogotá, Colombia Sunday night. It's the band's first original music since 2012's Beyond Magnetic EP, and those tracks were outtakes from the band's 2008 LP Death Magnetic. Metallica are on the first leg of a tour they've dubbed "Metallica by Request," which takes them to South America, Europe and Canada and finds fans voting on all but one of the songs on the set list from their 140-or-so-track oeuvre. ("Lords of Summer" being the sole holdout.) UPDATE: Listen to Metallica's studio-recorded "garage demo" of "Lords of Summer" here.
The song's chorus includes the line, "The Lords of Summer have returned," but Metallica may as well be talking about themselves, considering the song falls in line with the sort of lengthy thrashers that have served as the group's meat and potatoes since the mid-Eighties. It opens with a plodding riff that gives way to chunky, faster thrashing, and before long, frontman James Hetfield is singing about fire and shaking grounds and all the sorts of apocalyptic things Metallica are known for.

Hi all, I've been gone for a while.... I am listening to Halestorm's CD "The Strange Case of ..." I love the song "Mz Hyde" and Lizzy. Lizzy is an incredibly talented singer, sonrwriter, guitarist. She combines the hard Joan Jett style with melodic Heart vocals. "Welcome to the nightmare in my head, say hello to something scary. The monster in your bed,just give in and you won’t be sorry...
