I thought this would be a shutout.

Agreed. To be completely serious, when I saw this matchup, I thought probably 35 - 3 or something close. And yet, here we are, 21 -12. I figured Metallica would have ACDC like domination of the bracket, but always was cognizant that on this bored, and this bored only, Nirvana would get a LOT more love than they would anywhere else. So I figured Metallica would absolutely crush everyone until the bracket finals, but that has not played out, due to squat to pee issues previously addressed.

Metallica v. Nirvana will be a tough one I now see, but only because of the location of lots of the shitbag denizens of this shithole. You run a Metallica v Nirvana heads up pole on any football bored in the NE or SE, and Metallica rolls them 30-10 every time, or worse. Nirvana is getting a YUGE Seattle soccer scarf and wine fag bounce.

I hate soccer and scarves as much as any man here and I didn't go to HS in the PNW, but I don't think I can take Metallica over Nirvana.

Jesus Christ. Nirvana has barely survived GnR and Soundgarden. Metallica was the biggest band in the world for a decade. They both started a form of music. Metallica is MUCH more musically gifted. Metallicas body of work is 5 times larger than Nirvana. Radio stations STILL have Mandatory Metallica. Nobody has Nirvana Jack Shit. It isn't close.
