First time post, sorry if this pisses anyone off:)
Hmmm.
And to think I used to like Metallica, and stand affirmed of their anti-corporate stance, most notably their staunch refusal to provide video fodder for MTV up until 'Justice'.
Recent years have seen them take a slide into an MTV friendly, corporate cash funded musical sewer, and whilst I view this as slightly depressing and telling of my stance as a pensionable stagediver, I think it's only fair punishment for releasing such a _turd_ of an album as their self titled fecal slab.
Seems to be the more money you make and the more succesful you eventually become, silly little things like Integrity, Honesty, Drive and Originality pack their bags and leave the studio.
Metallica, you suck - as far as I am concerned, your'e not the same band who once extolled the virtues of honesty over financial gain (Gee, Am I hitting a raw nerve here?) or the importance of remaining true to your ideals.
I'm thinking, hmmm, Boyzone in Black with Beards?
Jason, James, Lars, Kirk; Go home, go back to your garages, use your old setups and start writing decent music again.
Oh, and try not to make yourself look like complete imbeciles when your individual napster prosecutions bite the dust.
