Pissed you off? Didn't like that they wanted people to not take their songs for free? |

| I was trying to be comical in a mock-representative from metallica. I was pointing out the irony in how metallica wants to now make an online presence when A) Nobody listens to them anymore, and B) they ruined their online appearance when napster was alive.

I agree. Seems that song writers and musicians that stand up and publically say they hate file trading are blacklisted. Kinda stupid if you ask me being as that the people downloading music were stealing from them. Kinda like the fox blacklisting the farmer while it was stealing his chickens.

A) Doubtful since I'm sure there will be millions of their new album sold.
B)Agreed to a point, yes some die hard file sharers hated that they told the truth. While other more casual filesharers, like me, really weren't bothered that they spoke their mind about this.

It's as simple as this...IMHO...Melodica was once the quintessential non-success garage band and quite good....Yeah ok illegal file trading..."bad" albeit that aside...I used to own EVERY Metallica album ever stamped out by the music mills...yes I am old.
Metallica started ..nay LARS started a war...Jason Newstead left BECAUSE of Lars' HOLY war. They are simply WASHED up.Their funds were shrinking(not unlike Lars' HAIRLINE)and saw NAPSTER as the cause of their woes.
I will always have a right to use MY PURCHASED music however I choose.Be it compress it...put it on TAPE or stomp on it in my driveway...FAIR USE..I paid I will do WHATEVER I WANT with it.
No I haven't forgotten Metallica's internet silliness and No I won't be watching....
And it figures they would team up with a LAMER ISP like SNEAKSLEAZY who sold out a while back as well...
lol just my 2 cents |

You're right about this... and I'll respect any artist that doesn't want their stuff traded... except for Metallica, who, when they were nothing back in the early 80s, wanted people to trade copies of their music... just so that other people would find out about them and buy the albums and come to their shows. I think its somewhat contradictory for a band that made its money by doing this to whine when people still trade their tracks online.
Besides... Metallica is just like every other 80s act trying to make a comeback... they're all washed up and need to retire.

F*ck Metallica!
The "Real Headbangers" don't even want their lame ass commercialized crap anyway.
I wouldn't even waste my time illegally D/L'ing their crap.

Yeah I can see both sides of the argument, and I'm not on either side. What they did doesn't bother me, since it doesn't affect me at all, and sharing the files after all IS illegal. But on the other side it's not like I don't download songs, but I DO in fact own all of Metallica's albums. I also own 12 CDs worth of bootleg concerts in MP3 format, but metallica actually doesn't mind bootlegs. Not to say I'll buy the new album if I don't like it, but if I do I just might, you get a lot of stuff for the $13 I've seen it being preordered for. |

What does that have to do with anything? Sending songs to other people for free isn't fair use if that's what you were referring to. If not, then WTF were you referring to? |

Yea I remember the first time I heard them, I got a Copied Cassette tape of Master of Puppets and I must have listed to that thing straight for 10 days. I was like WOW! This band rocks and after that i bought every Tape and CD and went to all of their Shows and then when the Napster thing came about and they bitched, I lost faith in them... Oh well mayby they can grab the new Generation, which is generation Z right?  |

Its real simple...I have bought MORE music being able to sample it.
Simply put Melodica shot themselves in the a$$.
If the RIAA and Metallica was a front for them then as now...would EMBRACE technology and quit trying to milk the public for every penny they would probably be making their "PROSPECTED" income.
And by the way p2p is for the i-net illiterate.

You're skating on thin ice there, buddy. The application of common sense during yet another completely juvenile and pointless "Napster v. Metallica" argument is dangerous thing to do around here. |

real headbangers? you mean 30 year olds who live with their parents? headbangers are awful. I also like what I have heard so far from the new album, as I have from all the previous. |

I'm not your "run of the mill" headbanger....
I haven't listened to the radio in years
Why does Metallica say their new album is going to be like the "old days"?
IMO... they knew they sold out and want to try to get the former fans back... this Speakeasy stuff is all about publicity for them...
Thanks but no thanks...I'll keep my money;)
