Billboard reports several interesting Metallifacts... the "Black" album is still #1 on the Top Pop Catalog sales (this chart is for older albums)... Whiskey in the Jar is at #4 for Mainstream Rock, Turn the Page is two spots behind at #6... Metallica finds itself as #26 all-time, with 38 million albums sold... and finally, a reminder that the Billboard Diamond award will be presented March 16th in New York.
The music video for Whiskey In The Jar rumored to be banned from TV, is being played elsewhere. NBC's Friday Night Videos played the clip last Friday. The video is said to have been re-edited and should be appearing on MTV soon.
Just a note.. the only persons able to offer an exclusive of any Metallica video is the band, either through their record company or their Fan Club. Anyone else doing so is selling pirated and/or bootlegged copies. Use caution when dealing with bootleggers/pirates...
UPDATE: You can vote for the Whiskey video to appear as the viewer's choice for next week's show. Check your TV listings for Friday Night Videos in your area.

The latest Rolling Stone has a feature called Guitar Gods with Kirk contributing a piece about his favorite guitar god, Jimi Hendrix saying "Jimi Hendrix invented the Church of Tone. He had monster technique and soul to spare." Read the entire thing
