Escape MetallicA I've seen one or two versions of this song on the net already, but none of them seemed to be complete. Well this one isn't either (who am I to break a trend?), but it does contain slightly more than most versions. I don't think it's 100% correct (in fact I think it's downright dodgy), so let me know if you have any additions or corrections.
