FIRE BAAAD

This is basically the same thing.

I still hold a YUUUUGE grudge towards metallica for what they did to napster. I will die on this hill damn it.

Metallica were just a bunch of tone deaf (speech) poster boys for the RIAA.

Napster was too big and too bold. They let themselves become synonymous with pirated music. There's no way capitalism would let that alone. If it wasn't Metallica, it would have to have been someone else.

On the upside, the Case was between Reload and St. Anger; their sales dropped by half and never recovered.

Cliff was great. And Lars kinda sucks. But

Lars accidentally invented speed thrash metal so

Give Lars a break man.

Edit: canonically, Lars was a mediocre drummer with a ton of common bad drummer habits. Notably he sped up a lot when he was excited or nervous. Metallica, being a bunch of insecure alpha male bros refused to complain that it was too fast out of fear they’d be seen as ninnies by the others so they just went with it. Speed metal was born. Thrash metal. Whatever you wanna call it. It’s a fun story.

Every drummer I know thinks Lars sucks. But Lars has influenced every drummer I know more than they realize.

Metallica loves imperialism for the most part, that's how.

OOOoooohhh

Lars has reached his final form

Ah, sorry. My adblocker blocks those annoyong popups. I had no idea.

Doooon’t downloaaaaad this soooooong…

i have bad news about who metallica has shown themselves to be in the last 5 years

I don't believe either the government in general or congress in specific have the blanket ability to ignore copyrights held by others.
