As reported on SoundGenerator.com, Metallica’s cd sales have received a healthy boost of 800% after their recent appearance at Live Earth in London.

However, Foo Fighters received the most increase with 1,000% more cd’s sold – according to Tesco's combined in-store and online download sales.

Metallica frontman James Hetfield recently spoke with Norway’s NRK about his bands appearance at Live Earth

"I really avoided the press around the Live Earth day. I didn't quite agree with what was going on there. Politics drive me crazy, and I don't like talking politics. Politics get in the way of things; they get in the way of getting things done, and getting our music across is what we wanna do — we don't wanna cloud it with 'Democrat, Republican,' whatever. Our philosophy is 'think for yourself' at the end of the day — do what you think feels right. I really believe that humans will survive. I have a lot of faith in mankind that we will overcome and adapt — whatever it is; whether it's man-made or God-made, or Earth/Mother Nature — we have a lot of smart people on this planet that will make something good out of bad."  

Oh ok Jamie, whatever you reckon pal. Like you care! Take some more of my money. Go on! Take it! I don’t want it anymore. Here you go!
