Metallica To Headline KROQ’s Weenie Roast, Not Suck?
Metallica is headlining KROQ’s Weenie Roast on May 17, where they’ll be joined by Cali-punk pals The Offspring, Bad Religion, Pennywise, and a bunch of bands that don’t remember that Black Flag show in ’82 where things got crazy. Oh wait, Metallica weren’t punk rockers! Forgot! I was already to write about how this was Lars & Co.’s most blatant alt-grab since Lollapalooza ’96 until I discovered that Metallica actually headlined 1999’s Weenie Roast. So I guess I’ll just make fun of the fact that Metallica has only made one album of original material in the last decade, and man did it suck. Full line-up after the jump.

Pennywise actually played the 1999 show along with Metallica too. Orgy, Smashmouth, Sugar Ray, Eve 6 and Limp Bizkit were probably not invited this time, so feel proud, dudes!
