Hey peeps, I heard a song earlier tonight on the muzak network at my gym. I really liked it, and furthermore as a big Metallica fan, I thought for sure that James Hetfield was on background vocals.

So it's a heavy tune, nice a crunchy with a slow groove. I wrote down the most promenant line in the lyrics, it's vague and I really doubt that it is Hetfield but who knows.

Anyway the lyrics:

Kicking hard times, kicking hard times to risin'

(i think that is what the main part in the chorus was.

Not expecting anyone to get this but I would be psyched if anyone did.

That's a tough one.

yup, it sucks that it wasn't on the radio then I could have called the station.

turns out it was Hetfield, the song is called "Diablo BLVD" by the band Corrosion of Conformity

someone on the Metallica boards got it for me!
