They were right to protect their intellectual property.
>>540664912KWAB
>>540664912Oh no won’t somebody please think of the millionaire musicians? Lars was a fag then and is an even bigger fag now. I hope he dies soon. Also Metallica sucks my cock.
>>540664912Metallica sucks ass.
great now whiskey in the jar is in my head again
I downloaded the black album again last week. Come at me you pancake eating fuck.
>>540665109it's not even their song
>>540664912I’m certain more people are just copying stuff from YouTube today than ever did peer-to-peer file sharing.
>>540665162I know and Metallica sucks ass but it's a catchy song
Megadeth was always way better
peak napster was peak internet and it will never be topped
>>540664912metallica released all their good stuff in the 80s anyway, once they cut their hair it was over
napster was really coolfunny enough, I don't even listen to music anymore. It's weird how it was such a huge part of our cultural experience and now I don't even think about it.
>>540664912Funny, because I started listening to them because of Napster, and then stopped listening to them because of what they did to Napster. So, I've come full circle.
>>540664912He was right. It's basically impossible to make a living unless you're a legacy touring act these days. The concept of a band splitting gig fees 4 ways and making money is all but gone, let alone getting discovered and making enough money to enjoy a modest income from music for the rest of your life.
>>540665185youtube to mp3 chads stay winning
>>540665415They could get real jobs?
>>540665415Good thing you can make so much money with other jobs these days.
>>540664912The Napster days. god im old
>>540665109Everything post Black kinda blows, also Black doesn't even hold up in hindsight but Everything pre Black is music gold.
>>540665199>but it's a catchy songfolk songs best songs
>>540665492The average level of musical proficiency is higher than the 80s, but they're making less than local bands the 80s. With essentially no chance of getting discovered and making money because streaming and touring favors legacy acts. There's a reason the bands getting top slots at the European festivals are acts that broke out in the 2000s.
why did they put bloody cum on their album cover?
>Metallica and that whole era of Metal got as huge as it did thanks to people recording the songs off the radio and sharing them around>18 or so years later, Metallica is basically THE Metal band>But there is this new thing...call the "internet" and "Napster"....people are listening to Metallica for FREE....and worse yet there is these new bands who are getting extremely popular thanks to this tech..."Slipknot" what kind of losers are these?! Why are all these teenagers going to their concerts, buying their merch, their CDs, and NOT spending 200$ for nosebleed seats at a Metallica concert?!
Berserkr would never.
>>540664912>give me my shekels goyim!
>>540664912I've been stealing music and films since napster and limewire and I still get a kick out of it
>>540665042This.
>>540664912Metallica kicked ass before the Black album, then they turned into a bunch of faggots.
>>540664912
>>540665847>my love for you is like a truck BERSERKER>would you like some making fuck BERSERKER Hell yeah
>>540664912Lars has always been a bitch. And his music is worth even less now.
>>540664912>I'm rich as fuck, give me moreNah.>Muh NAPSTER
>>540665109Yeah thin lizzy is an awesome band
>>540664912>Lars UlricWho?Metallica is dead; they killed their own brand and legacy with copyright and DMCA laws. Guess what? Zoomers mostly missed out on their music, and future generations only listen to brain rot.They could have relaxed the rules on streaming; if you have valid Spotify, Apple Music, or Amazon Music, you can play music.Hardly anyone plays music anymore on stream and YouTube video game clips.
All these dudes are total faggots that just get off on being loud obnoxious assholes in a polite society. Fuck Iron Maiden too, I will never forgive them for what they did to Ion Maiden.
METALLICOPSALL SUSPECTS ARE...FUCKING ASSHOLES
>>540664912Napster actually exposed me to more of their music and now they can go fuck themselves
>>540665709Anyone can share their music online now. The music industry of the 80s was entirely gate kept by record labels. If you managed to get signed by a record company then you were basically fucking set, and if not, then you got no exposure.Let’s face it. With how oversaturated music is now, an act like Metallica would not be worth nearly as much today as it was in the 80s. The days of people making $100 million to shred on guitar are over.
>>540664912https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zGM8PT1eAvY
Honestly I'd be happy if some people would pirate my band's album and pass it around so we could get some fucking exposure
>>540665709Explain this.
>>540665249>metallica released all their good stuff in the 80s anyway, once Cliff died then both of their songwriters were gone and they sucked thereverafterftfy
>>540665643few recall that the black album was a defining event that saw Metallica literally replace almost their entire fanbase
turns out Lars was a cunt regardless of the Napster debacle
>>540665955that's fucked up, Olaf
>>540665955Did he just say "making fuck"?
>>540665415If your music is not good enough for me to hear it live, don't pretend it's good enough for me to buy it online
>>540667162That's what happens when they outsource lyrics writing to india
>>540667067I was about 13 when Black came out and It blew me away at the time, I had heard of Metallica before that but I had never heard their music before that, after that I bought all their previous albums.
>>540667022Mmm?? The black album was pretty fucking good.
>>540667067Who gives a fuck.
>>540664912https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fS6udST6lbE
>>540667067The transition from the 1980s to the 1990s was fucking glorious. Fuck the 80s. Fucking trash decade. Embarrassing it even happened.
>>540664912Anyone still listening to these fraudsters need to take a good hard look at themselves.Worshipping cunts like this? As bad as the niggers with their gangster rap.
>>540665109Fucking asshole, thanks
>>540667638In all honesty if we listened to every faggot on here like youbwho says x is retarded y is retarded we would all be sitting in an empty room watching paint dry.
>>540666399>was entirely gate kept by record labelsNot true. It was gatekept by local DJs, and record labels throwing money at these bands like a shotgun.The archival of streaming doesn't cycle out old acts like DJs which benefits bands from the monoculture. This came to Europe slightly later, which is why their big touring acts are somewhat newer ones that broke out in the 00s whereas the American ones like Slipknot and Linkin Park got started slightly older.
>>540664912The Napster thing happened while I was a teenager just getting into metal. It completely, irreversibly branded Metallica as a bunch of pussy normie conformists. I never downloaded any Metallica albums for the same reason I never downloaded any Michael Jackson albums. I never bought any either. I hope it was worth it for them ruining their whole image.
>>540668104
>>540665109I'm sorry to hear that. Here, let me help put a better Metallica song in your head instead:THE HORSEMEN ARE DRAWING NEARERRRRRR
>>540664912I listened all their songs and haven’t payed a cent. Ulric can suck cock.
>>540667413for me it was 12 and Fight Fire With Fire
>>540666826She cute
>>540667467>who gives a fuck that these guys who wrote good music all of a sudden simultaneously wrote garbage and attained massive fame
>>540667525Kek, I had never seen that before.
>>540667568mostly true100% untrue for metallica
>>540664912IT WAS ME LARS, THE AUTHOR OF ALL YOUR PAINI SHARED THE ENTIRE DISCOGRAPHY OF YOUR SHITTY BAND
>haha we sure showed those pirates, didn't we TicketMaster?>*plap plap plap* shut up and take it like the little bitch whore you are
>>540667162>>540667403https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7gFoHkkCaRE
>>540664912I never liked that asshole. He has a kind of snivelling attitude even as a metal drummer.
>>540665202this
fuck them im gonna be warezing till you give me head until im dead.put out something worth a shit like a cd and some album art, dont suck, and maybe you can get my money. this is just hiding horseshit you dont even know what it is without trying it. you cant take it back because its "tore up". there should be freely download versions, fuck digital crap. fuck sakes at least put album art out. I was using Napster around the time it started going down. user numbers went down everyday until one day it was like 1/4 of what it normally was at at a LOW. I asked somebody where everybody was going. he said he was going to winmx. then I went to winmx. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mb_jLAisPzk>>540667525fuckin hell yea. fucking hated what shit they did to Napster fuck you Metallicock>$100 metallica cock ring
>>540664912this is why i hate metallica
>>540665448muh quality tho
>>540664912FIRE BAD!
>>540669545CHUBBY GOOD!
>>540664912He was right. The industry fell apart right after. Now you get streaming services. Say thank you Napster for ruining music!
>>540664912the funny thing is he happily admitted to tape trading during an early interview
>>540665448B A S E DASED
>>540670346That was the most egregious part. They did it themselves. Everyone did.
t. downloader of free movies, music, and books for the last 10 years
>>540670689>for the last 10 yearsYou've never had to wait three days to download a limp bizkit song on limewire while your dad keeps bitching at you to "get off the internet" so he can use the rotary phone on the wall.
>>540669038That's beautiful man
>>540664912>Lars UlricHe's a real musical genius that one.https://youtu.be/vumrar1k9289qirZbuRRFpNtSj6
>>540670640exactly. it also exposes his latter-day stance as being even more of a joke since he obviously not only did it but was proud of doing it. he wasnt exactly young when doing it and his interview admitting to doing it wasnt even that old either. i could understand if he was 70 and it had been decades in-between tape trading and him denouncing it but that isnt the case at all
>>540664912And how many of them got cited for a crime?
And now we pay like what, $11 bucks a month to listen to the entire discography of humanity?
Here in the Czech Republic, we can download as much music as we want for personal use without facing any penalties. That Jew would be suing in vain here.
Megadeath is infinitely better than Metallica
>>540671167I used to think that because the drums on Justice always sounded good to me. But then I learned that it's engineered, the mixers shave time off his beats because he was so often off beat and copy paste bits and pieces throughout the songs to make it sound the way it does. For a long time I resisted the claim that he was a bad drummer because of this album, but once I learned about that I got on the bandwagon.
>>540664912>I own the pattern of bits on your harddisk Fuck you.
>>540664912intellectual property is the reason everyone got used to reading and writing pornography in the 20th century. publishers wouldnt publish your sff novel unless it had a pornographic scene and a positive portrayal of a jew. the "most Christian nation" has had movies for 100 years and pretty much only madr "the chosen". kill all publishers and academics
>>540665415>musicians can't live off one track/album forever and have to get jobsoh no! anyway...
>>540664912Kill yourself, IDF goblin.
>>540673678This, master of puppets is still the only true mmtallicah banger while Megadeth has dozens of bangers
>>540664912I didn't know Ulrich was a Jedi name.
>>540665185I record youtube directly to a packaging-taped over timeshare marketing cassette played into a microphone using my soundblaster
>>540664912Odd that even though it's come out that Spotify pirated their music, Metallica still hasnt sued them... just sued their fans. Odd.
>>540666286SPRINKLES GOOD!
And yet no one in ai is getting pushback for the rampant piracy of intellectual property used to train LLMsHow curious that the law only applies to poor people
>>540664912Did Lars ever save up enough to install his gold plated shark tank bar beside his pool?
>>540665202Mustaine sings like cats when they are fighting.Also his riffs suck ass, even if they're relatively technical and he's a very competent player. Boring shit.
>>540665024horse cum gargling nigger
>>540666826I've got something she can explain by putting it in her vagina if I'm not being too subtle.
>>540665202They both have absolute bangers.And a couple of songs which are kind of the same banger.
Thank God I was never gay enough to listen to dad metal.
>>540676093Kek, are you 15? What else was there to listen to until the 2010s, Limp Bizkit and Slipknot and stuff like that?
>>540665036>Oh no won’t somebody please think of the millionaire musicians?So fucking privileged that you expect everything is free.That you expect that the mainstream music industry is going to give you want you want to calm your pathetic soul and fill your head with fantasies.....lolDrugged out faggot
>>540665709Angine de poitrine
>>540665846>and NOT spending 200$ for nosebleed seats at a Metallica concert?!Dumb faggotSeats at live shows are exorbitant cause that's all they can make anymoreYou expect them to give them your music for no money.Its pathetic.....its now just elevator muzak to you
>>540665036>Also Metallica sucks my cock.tipped your hand with this one, metallica is objectively quite good, largely in spite of lars, but still
>>540677655nobody cares and in the end lars will only ever be known as a narc. nobody will care, and the future will not consider him talented.>>540677823nobody cares and metallica is trash music anyway. imagine being such a hack artist that you have to attack your own fans.
>>540664912metallica fucking blows and lars was, is, and will always be a cunt
>>540678108>have to attack your own fansPussies that play victim to get free music.....who think they are being attacked when they are being held accountable for taking part in the use of these sites that rob musicians are literally nothing to deal with.Turn on the radio if you want free music.....dumbass.Help your local college radio station power up their levels to reach more people.Don't be a fiend for status in the "scene" you grift along with.....From a Stagehand and Rigger that set up numbers of shows and ran a show on Indy Radio for 2 years.I think your opinon doesn't matter DESU.....what matters is that you follow the rules around copywritten music, so that you don't ruin lives with the fiendish demands you make in some ideological gay debate about your demand for free anything.Cause you are so lazy you won't work enough to pay 20.00 for an album, and 250.00 on a decent sound system.
>>540665024>Lars UlrichEarly Life
>>540674006>musicians can't live off one track/album foreverThe collapse of music sales and streaming enables this. In ye olde days, musicians past their prime were put out to pasture in residencies like Elvis.
>>540665202only losers listen to any of this shit
>>540664912the drum tone on st anger sucked ass. tink tink tink.
>>540664912I just wanted easy access to music for free, you asshole.
>>540677823Seats at live shows are expensive because Ticketmaster and live Nation have a monopoly. They triple charge you for the same ticket. Theres a ton of lawsuits going on over it

>>540664912Back when i could pirate music i listened to a lot of music and broadened my tastes. Now that i cannot pirate music as readily i listen only to music i can freely download. I spend the same amount on music. Zero. in both instances the amount of metallica listened to is zero.
>>540664912>intellectual property.their music? they should have protected it by keeping it in their fucking heads.
>>540664912Ulrich is a faggot
>>540665109Not even their song
>>540664912Worst pop band evah. The only good tracks they ever did were written by Dave mustane
>>540664912The world owes him an apology because he was right about everything
>>540665036It destroyed the record business, dum dum, and is why music sucks now. Lars tried to stop it.
>>540677655Hey redditspacer, art is meant to be seen. If you don't want your art seen, don't make art.In your ideal world the only people who would know what the Mona Lisa looks like would be those who paid money to the Da Vinci estate.
