...swing and miss at their heroes' greatest hits. James Hetfield bellows "I was a Green Beret in Vietnam" on Metallica's version of 53rd & 3rd as if he were auditioning for Oliver Stone, while Marilyn Manson, who once seemed a suitable heir to the Ramones (or at least Alice Cooper) turns The KKK Took My Baby Away into a bland bit of Goth melodrama.

For years as a teenager he had been a concert pianist and--why not?--an accordionist. He says merely that his interests shifted. All the same, he found time last year to design and direct Messiaen's opera St. Francis of Assisi at Berlin's Deutsche Oper, and he is working on sets for a full cycle of Wagner's Ring at London's Covent Garden. But Libeskind rarely touches the piano anymore...
