In Their Own Words

As part of the programming for last week's Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame Induction, Fuse produced a documentary called Metallica: In Their Own Words. Evidently this was shown prior to the network's induction ceremony broadcast. For those who care, Fuse licensed the use of some of Umlaut's old photos and memorabilia for the program; bonus points if you can identify them.

Compared to some of the other MTV, VH1, etc. programs that have used my stuff, this is one of the better ones.


Part One


Part Two

Note to The Kids: If you're friends with a band now, don't throw anything away! They might become famous and the crap you have will pay off years from now. For the record, Umlaut's old Metallica photos and crap have been used in the following ways over the years:
