Yeah.. so our next giant leap in technology is to create software that converts CDs into.suk files. After conversion, the tapes will sound like old vinyls that have seen better days that were recorded onto tapes that had been left out in the sun for a few days. Then everyone will be happy:oP
I'm not really one to jump on bandwagons and think that things are as simple as first impressions make them seem. I read an interview off the Metallica site ( http://www.metallica.com/news/2000/000503.html ) which, towards the end, points to what I believe (at this point) to really be the actual core problem. An unleased recording called, "I Disappear" had been leaked from their studio and made its way onto Napster. Courtney Love had said something in her interview that made me believe she was referring to this. It sounds like they had big plans for this recording and had pretty much been twarted in their plans by the "early release". So this opens up a whole new can of worms, if this is the case, was this what really spurred Metallica into such a frenzy? And, if this is the truth, maybe they are barking up the wrong tree and should be suing whoever was in charge of security of their unreleased recordings. But then, I can think of a lot of "self-preservational" reasons why they wouldn't. I've been around this scene since the early 80s (I saw them for the first time when they warmed up for "Raven" and had no idea who they were at the time) and had the understanding through different sources that Metallica really are just a bunch of jerks, so really this move didn't come as any big shock to me. I'm not really saying that to slam Metallica either. I'm just testing out a theory. Cya'll Tino
