But instead of a friendly answer the New Jersey cowboy got yelled at. Later he found out why. To enjoy the view of some many metalheads the Bon Jovi's had circled above the stadium for minutes in helicopters. Metallica, the band that was playing at the time, didn't really appreciate the constant noise, to say the least.
They´re probably over it by now. Don´t think they´re as bitter as Dave Mustaine is.

What magazine is this from? I remember reading an interview with Jon where he mentioned it but I think Metallica had a problem with pop-metal in general and as Bon Jovi were the main exponent of the genre, they wouldn't want to be associated with them. Die Hetfield ever say something about the incident? Or did any of the Metallica guys ?
