I'm starting to get the feeling the government doesn't always work in our best interest

I've never really forgiven them for the anti-Napster bullshit. Their music at the time had become the most boring, safe radio rock too.

The whole thing was just bizarre in retrospect: who's going to be the first to raise a stink about Napster? Maybe one of the mainstream pop artists like Britney Spears or the Backstreet Boys? Nope, it's fucking Metallica, who built their careers around being anti-establishment, and were also rich enough that they didn't need any more money. Incredibly funny that they'd willingly destroy their credibility.

Same. To this day I refuse to legally listen to any Metallica song. It might be petty but I've been doing it since I was like sixteen so I'm not gonna stop now.

Watch this tho. Someone changed "nothing else matters" to major scale and changed the whole feel. i think it's cool https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=oruno-NlJh0
