Lars Ulrich Pirates His Own Album
rudeboy1 writes "Lars Ulrich, drummer for Metallica, and long time opponent of file sharing admitted to 'pirating' his own album, Death Magnetic last year. 'I sat there myself and downloaded "Death Magnetic" from the Internet just to try it,' he said. 'I was like, "Wow, this is how it works." I figured if there is anybody that has a right to download "Death Magnetic" for free, it's me.'"
"I'm out of touch with reality, and honestly, we killed off our fanbase when we starting whining about napster... So, hey guys! Look at me!! I'm relevant again!!! SERIOUSLY!!! I download stuff too!!"

Wonder if he was as let down by it as I was! What a waste of time+bandwidth

they are now considering the pirate theme.
NOW? Hetfield's been peppering his singing with "Yo-Ho" for so long, I don't know why there's no parrot on his shoulder yet.
Linux, you magnificent bastard, I read the fucking manual!
Thanks. Now I imagine James singing about Free Credit Report Dot Com with his pirate hat, and Lars behind him listening to the music he pirated on his iPod.
That's a long way away from the kill 'em all days. It is very sad.

"Fuck Metallica." Damn groupies. Thats your solution for everything.
I'm going to apply a little more of Lar's logic here and say that this is like Lars walked in a music store and shoplifted the CD. No one can disagree that would be wrong, would they? Only this is far, far worse because it involves the Internet.

After downloading it, he actually listened to the album and was like, "Wow, what a complete pile of crap! These guys suck!"
"Buca De Beppo" ??? What the heck is that? An Italian pedophilia clown?
Who're the beetles? Are they bigger than Deaf Leopard?

Metallica Rocks, Pirating is wrong, and You suck.
Lars?
Arr! The laws of physics be a harsh mistress!
They're only the band that Lead Zeppelin could've been...
Imagine Olive Garden with a table that has a Pope's head encased in class on a lazy Susan in the middle. You get to spin it around and have it stare at others while you eat overpriced and oversized Americanized Italian food, family style, with lots of other people in a crowded and campy restaurant. That's Buca di Beppo.
But I suppose the Pope's head in glass could be confused with an Italian pedophilia clown in some circles, so good call there.
"... I'm relevant again!!! SERIOUSLY!!! I download stuff too!!"
Oddly enough, he's the ONLY one who's pirated "Death Magnetic"
Beauty is in the eye of the beerholder.
your comment will be ignored, mostly because it makes too much sense.
They're bigger than Jesus.
Frost: Are you saying the drummer of Metallica can do anything he want's - even if it is illegal.
Ulrich: I'm saying, if the drummer of Metallica does it, it's not illegal.
What? But I was TRYING to steal his music! And now you tell me I may have accidentally got it legally via his own computer? Rats, I'm going to have to go download it again. I hope he's stopped seeding by now.

The Pope is always encased in class.
So stylish.
That's not saying a whole lot, I'm a lot bigger than most Mexicans too but you don't hear me bragging about it.
... still waiting for this free-as-in-beer free beer I keep hearing about.
Okay, guys, we're not supposed to talk about Usenet, remember?
