Metallica is the reason that P2P file sharing is almost impossible post-Web 2.0. There’s an argument to be made that someone else would’ve taken Napster to court if Metallica didn’t, but they did, and the internet has been shit ever since. Fuck them and their friends who think their garbage variety of radio-friendly variety of Beer Metal is anything worth listening to
This is the weirdest reasoning I’ve heard for the internet being sterile
P2p is impossible? Wonder where all the music got into BitTorrent then.
Right? The person you replied to seems maybe unaware that P2P filesharing is doing better than ever
It was bad for like, a few months when Napster shut down. Then BOOM! Morpheus, Kazaa, Limewire, BearShare, Soulseek, Usenet, then the magical world of torrents! (RIP what.cd)
Yarr, matey!
The high seas have never been more welcoming, me hearty!
Ye just need to navigate by the starrs!
I love Megadeth, hate that Dave became a Trump supporting, anti vax, conspiracy nutjob.
I could have gone without knowing this =(
Will never understand why becoming religious often means flushing ones brain down the toilet…
Because flushing your brain down the toilet is a prerequisite
He became super religious, evangelical, and of course that led him on the road to right wing stupidity.
and one of them was outed as a nonce recently
Its too bad both James and Dave are both first class d-bags. At least James tries to hide it
It’s insane how hard of a 180 Dave pulled. Dude went from being an anarchist icon to hanging out with Alex Jones.
My metal head friend said that Metallica became a pop band when they released the black album.
Your metalhead friend was correct. I personally think that that “Metallica” died with Cliff Burton. No hate to Jason Newstead, but Cliff was the one in the band with musical integrity.
Justice was really important to me. It was the first album I ever loved at the age of eight. It introduced me to the rest of their catalogue and, of course, fell in love with Burton and bass guitar. Too bad they did Newstead dirty on that album. But Justice sparked some political consciousness in me. And musically, I think they stretched as far as they could. With Burton, it would have been farther, but still farther than those three had stretched before. The same is not true for the black album.
I agree completely. There are versions of Justice that can be found online where the bass is mixed back in, and I highly recommend them. Newstead put in work on that album.
Yeha I think they’re called “And justice for Bass” or “And Justice for Jason”
