He was right in the end. The internet and file sharing have only contributed to the enshittification of culture. Access to content and by extension, access to subculture, should always be gate-kept and behind a paywall. The price of entry is discretion and exclusivity, imagine an internet without jeets, niggers, or trannies.
>>535895136Pirating has a higher barrier of entry than just paying a subscription.Blame Spotify not Napster.
>>535895136That band made their name and owe their fame to bootleg cassette tapes.He's a hypocrite.
>>535895136He was only doing it to preserve his shekels
>>535895136The problem isn't the Internet or filesharing, it's the jeets, niggers and trannies.They've been a problem since before the Internet existed.
>>535895136thats cool but he published load and reload under the name metallica which is false advertising so hes a scammer himself
>piracy ruined the quality of productsyou fucking idiot
He was NOT right and he's a shit drummer.
>>535895136He ruined his entire career over it, people remember the stupid beginner guitar song and his constant pants shitting over Napster and absolutely nothing else about this band
I dealt with this guy multiple times IRL and he's a manlet little prick.
>>535895136he's a gay retard and so are you
>>535895136>tapes a song off the radioU mad?
>>535895136The paywall guys and their central bnking system are the cause of the enshitification of our internet.You pay bot farms to manufacture debate and spam narratives that are designed to narrow debate.Its you people who destroyed the internet, Jeets are just naturally attracted to shit. You are the Shit.
>>535895136You know he is jewish, right?
>>535895136No, it only got people's videos taken down like that Undead Rogue slaughtering Alliance in WoW, or other genuine cultural and historic moments.It also meant streamers could no longer play music during their broadcasts. So now, future generations won't ever hear those songs in context.Lars Ulrich only cared about money. His greed didn't just hurt his own music; it probably set back the entire metal genre.
>>535895136piracy is making a glorious comeback as the corporate fight against ownership continues
>>535895136>Hasn't made a good album in 30 yearsOpinion discarded
>>535895136Am I supposed to know who this is
>>535895463Social media brought women and non-white masses on the internet. Jews wanted to cash in and destroyed the internet. Zoomers will never know of the pre 2010 internet and how amazing it was. Even in that time these retards where gatekept on fagbook. Then the rest of the internet was killed and google ads began making everything non-jewish unsustainable.
>>535895136Juish IP laws and copyright corruption is what's behind the enshitification of everything. Folk story telling has been locked behind kike's laws and oppressive courts. But you know that, faggot.
>>535895463It's those darn trannys and their big juicy dicks.
>>535895136Did everything magically get better when everyone started suing everyone?
>>535895766If you are over the age of 18 you know who this is and what Op is referencing
>>535895850I dont think anyone owns the rights to mythology pantheons.
>>535895136What's up Lars, still sucking dick?
>>535895136nope. he was always wrong ads are the enshitification of the internet, censorship, monitoring, mods, that’s the cancer killing it. the lack of dislike buttons, comment sections, that’s what’s killed the internet and its trajectory. gatekeeping is aids. what we need is region banning but not banning of individuals. we need a great firewall around India to stop the scamming and endless shitting online. region ban isreal from fucking with and spying on the rest of the world. we dont need paywalls, we need walls around whole cultures of crap. they can keep to their own.
>>535895136He wanted a gold toilet, not a gold plated toilet, nerd
>>535895136Shouldn't you be practicing Unforgiven? It's been over 30 years, you really should be able to play the song by now.
The napster saga along w\ heavy radio play had me tuning out for years. But a year or so ago I tossed metallica on in my pandora and I remembered how much I love metallica. I grew up on and justice for all. I'd post up in front of the tv w\ my disc man and play final fantasy 7 listening to and justice for all, ride the lightning... They've got so many great songs, desu.
>>535895816underrated post, the introduction of the smartphone gave women the ability to use the internet and it's been downhill ever since.
I still rewatch it from time to timehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mb_jLAisPzk
>>535895136>The internet.. gate-kept and behind a paywall.Last I checked I pay for internet. I'm all for not paying for gibs to hand out free internet to shitskins and blocking india.
>>535895136my beliefs about the whole pirating music has been the same.in the end if you are a TROO fan of the band then you should be buying their album anyways. and not just some digital album, a CD or Vinyl to really treat yourself.Digital everything is pretty soulless at the end of the day anyways. this could be applied to Movies, TV Shows and Books too.if you really need it in your life, then you should get it a physical copy.
>>535895941Boxxy was in 2008 that's 18 years ago that means there are adults itt right now who were born after boxxy was a thing.You're old.
What gets me is, at that time Metallica didn't own their own music the record label did.So, fighting illegal downloads was just fighting for the recording industry?And that campaign, along with their lackluster albums after and justice for all burned any kind of goodwill and fan sentiment towards the band and forever tarnished their image and for what?More shekels for their Jewish overlords?
>>535895136>The internet and file sharing have only contributed to the enshittification of culture.Oh and Shitallica didn't?
They didn't care about culture. They cared about money. Metallica hasn't been good since the early 90s. So they basically started to suck as soon as they went after Napster.
am i supposed to know who this is?
>>535898887When I liked bands, back when I was deeply into music, I would support those bands by buying their stuff.I'd go to shows, I'd buy their merch, I'd even contribute to crowdfunding the next album, etc.But how was I going to know which bands I liked? I would find their stuff for free online. I wasn't going to go to the record store and buy albums sight-unseen.>>535899511It's the legendary drummer of Metallica, the arch nemesis of Napster
>>535895678He's officially of Danish origin but his behavior is jewish
>>535899672Before my Local Record Store closed because of Covid, I would go, every once in a while i would take a recommendation from the stoned guy that was working there. he made good recommendationsI guess you just have to show up once a week and become friends with the employees.But now the nearest one is 2 cities over, its not even worth the drive anymore.Feels bad man. It was one of the few things Id like to do on my days off to just enjoy life.
>>535899816>His paternal grandfather was tennis player Einer Ulrich. His paternal grandmother, Ulla Meyer, was from a Jewish family; as a result, Ulrich's grandfather was persecuted by the Nazis during World War II.[9]
>>535900193I definitely used to get recommendations from friends who were album collectors. I had friends who'd spent $20-30k just on CDs back in the day. They would put stuff on and show me similar bands, etc. It was like having a record store expert.I miss the excitement of getting an album and putting it on, reading the liner notes, and hearing deep cuts that surprised me and made me glad I bought the record.Music used to be more special when there was such a thing as a 'rare' song/album. Going to the record store and seeing imports or b-sides that you just HAD to have... I'd buy the Japanese import for one track. Or buy 'unofficial' concert discs that somehow made their way into the catalogue.Anyone remember when tapes/CDs had those huge plastic things on them that made them not fit into pockets?
>>535895331this
>>535895331fpbp this is absolutely true. i used to pirate all the time in the mp3 scene but you don't need to anymore. it's vastly easier to just subscribe to spotify. on the rare occasion something doesn't exist on spotify then i may hold my nose and try to pirate
>>535895136Sounds like youre a faggot.Would you kindly fuckoff and die.
>>535895136still he suvks at the drums.
when the drummer of meshuggah has to listen to metallica he kills himself.
>>535895136This hypocrite manlet traded bootleg tapes in the early 80s so I trade Metallica taped digitally, simpe as that.
>>535895941I'm 35
>>535903952>Lars traded physical media>this is the same as spreading digital data(You) are a fucking retard.
It's not the money that makes the difference, it's just the access. If you quit freely uploading everything you see, say or do to the botnet, you wouldn't have these issues. But people literally can't put their phones down.
>>535895136He was correct in the sense that piracy and P2P file sharing, open and unrestricted access to a band's music cause a collapse of the existing system. The question becomes why he felt it was a good idea to attempt to protect the existing system. The obvious answer would be that it's because Metallica was profiting from it tremendously and he wanted to continue to do so. The argument that he made was that it would become much harder for younger up-and-coming bands and talent to actually crack the mainstream if they couldn't make money off of their their smaller releases as they built a following in popularity. I think that this is actually likely the case today. I think that which music gets heard in broad settings and which bands become popular is largely determined by a small handful of executives that own the very few avenues through which these things can be monetized in the first place. It probably relegates a lot of up-and-coming bands or artists to playing small setting live shows and only developing a small local following without ever getting any money or impetus behind them for broader exposure. It's sort of like if Metallica never actually cracked the mainstream and got radio play with the black album. Many fans would say that would have been better ultimately, but most bands want to accomplish what they accomplished.
>>535904357It is the same retard, no difference prove me wrong you can't.
>>535895136I saw Limp Bizkit and Cypress Hill when they toured for free to say fuck you to Lars. It was awesome.
>>535895136BEER GOOOOOOD!NAPSTER BAAAAD!
>>535895136
>>535895631tell me about it. i was hanging with metallica once backstage. kirk and james where pretty cool and talked to me for like 15 minutes. trejo was there to and lars was hiding by himself over amongst the cases like a loner. nobody gave him the time of day. i purposely didnt even say hi to him because of the napster shit. i walked right by him and basically ignored him. he was looking at me to because i had just finished to talking to james and kirk. he just had this shit demeanor about him and yeah, he was short as shit to.
>>535895354thisand this>>535895377andIT SHOULD HAVE BEEN LARS IN 1986, THE WORLD WOULD BE A BETTER PLACEand metallica would not have spontaneously replaced their entire fanbase because everyone that originally liked them bought the black album and then gave it away to someone because it was such shit and never bout anything metallica ever again
>>535909105Metallica only had two talented members in its existence as a band>cliff burton>dave mustaineOf course they are utter shit without them. The most annoying one of course is the midget Lars
>>535899672Hands down the greatest jazz drummer of all time. In 1982 their tour bus rolled nine times on the freeway and Metallica's bass player, Cliff Barton was found pinned under the differential. Sadly he didn't make it, but Metallica released a song in tribute of him on their 1984 album release, "Hide The Frightening." They entitled it, "Trapped Under Bus."
>>535900510Perfectly fits and explains everything
>>535909357Trujilo is absolutely talentedbut Metallica doesnt exist in reality since before he joined, so there's that
>>535895136No, the extreme enshittification came after hypermonetization. We still had new culture being produced in 2010 or soThe height of piracy was also a height of creativity and new culture
>>535895525>thats cool but he published load and reload under the name metallica which is false advertisingExplain
For me, it's Slayer
>>535912723try the rich kids on LSD (RKL)rock n roll nightmare is a literal GOAT thrash album that no one knows cuz they were kinda a punk band
>>535895136Kill yourself.
