One of my favorite bands is Metallica.  Do you listen to them yourself?
I've heard some of their songs and I do enjoy them but I don't listen to them much, to be honest.
I first listened to them from Ride the Lightning, the term was taken from Stephen King's "The Stand".  Did you ever read it?  It is like 1000+ pages.
I never knew that it was based on that book. While I've heard of the book, I haven't read it before.
Yes, they made a TV miniseries of it, just like Hollywood made a movie out of another one of King's books "The Shining."  Did you see that one?
