"We hear that a Canadian Metallica tribute band is a little upset with us and with a little digging, figured out why," the band tells Rolling Stone. "It turns out that a certain letter was delivered to the band Sandman that neither we nor our management were aware of until it surfaced online. Lucky for us, the band was kind enough to post it for us to see, and it turns out that we have a very overzealous attorney who sent this letter without our knowledge."

TRANSLATION: "It turns out that the bad publicity and ill will we generated with Napster STILL leaves such a bad taste in the public's mouth that when Sandman posted the letter and the hard rock press was able to turn it into a story, we HAD to backpedal -- to the point of pretending we knew nothing of it -- in a hella hurry!"
