...till Metallica arrives in the Treasure Valley for the first time since March, 2004.
I should preface this lil list that I refuse to include anything off the "Black" or "Load" or "Re-load" or "St. Anger" albums...Plenty of fans hopped off the bandwagon since summer of 1991 when the Black album came out. Luckily the most recent album, September 2008's Death Magnetic recaptured some of the 80's metal that had been missing. Going off that premise, there is no way a single song from the aforementioned albums would be included in the top 7 songs performed by Metallica. They just do not hold a candle to early Metallica. Will go out on a limb for next selection since technically it is a cover song. Nonetheless, it rocks harder than any song that has come out over the last 16 plus years. I will give some leeway with songs off of Death Magnetic such as "All Nightmare Long" or "Cyanide" or "The Day That Never Comes".
However for this installment, which is like picking who your favorite son/daughter is, I have chosen a cover of Diamondhead's " Am I Evil?"
Also in the news, look for a podcast to be embedded here in the next 24 hours....BNP Podcast will include local media opinion giver, Troy Oppie ( who explains his disagreement on having Pettis on the 2 point try and the timing of it).Also BNP Podcast listeners will get an additional 20% from Dec 2-4 for listening at the Blue Orange Store- thanks to BSU Fan and owner Travis Hawkes.

7 Days until....
Metallica comes to Boise! Will be kicking off the 7 best songs performed (and available on youtube) and displaying the songs on this here blog.
#7 Added this vid, mainly for the fans that occupied Tushino Airfield, but also this entrance and following song, Creeping Death, are very worthy.
This will cause mass discussion amongst you blog observers, the likes this lil blog has never seen before, but fear not. This New Mexico State game coming up is rather boring and I am unaware of any way to spread any sort of upset hysteria. The Aggies have fired Hal Mumme ( last winter) and have not scored against BSU in 2 years. So what do they do...they hire a defensive minded coach. Awesome choice.....
Also, in the news, Austin Pettis- please borrow Terrell Owen's hyperbaric chamber and heal up. See you in the Fiesta Bowl.

For the Peeps outside of the Boise TV Viewing area
Nice story on the kid from Prosser, dishing the pigskin to his lil brother...and the town that follows them!

Ready for football to start at 9AM in the Mountain Time Zone...
Rutgers VS L'Ville on ESPN2
Temple VS Ohio on ESPNU ( Directv still does not carry ESPNU in HD, dang it)
Followed by Cincy taking on Illinois on your local ABC channel.
Later on, you have the IRON Bowl with Bama and Auburn- heads up on the upset here on CBS.
Blackshirts Cornhuskers take on a meek Colorado squad following the Cincy game on ABC.
If that is not enough tailgating, pre-BSU game info...there is always the Memphis vs the underachieving Tulsa showdown on CBSCHHD Directv 613
Almost forgot the Wyoming vs Colo. State game on the THE MTN in HD...if that is your persuasion....
Only negative about the BSU game tonight being on ESPN2 at 8:15pm locally is that it follows the Backyard Brawl, which hopefully does not last too long.
Enjoy this wondrous day...hopefully not putting up Christmas lights but watching football and preparing for harvesting a Wolf from Nevada!
Lastly, I agree that Colt McCoy secured the Heisman Trophy
