The best bit: "Yeah. My wife and I have had the 'pleasure' of having Metallica's lawyers jump on us. Our crime? My wife made a set of FREE button sets that you could use online. They were pink. They were shiny. She called them "Rose Metallica".
We ended up renaming the set "Loser 80s Hair Band". No lawyers have called us about it since then. "

A better reason to hate the band is that they haven't written a decent song in 19 years.

They should have split up after the black album, every album after just fucks up anything good they ever done.
- the black album was their "metal pop" debut.. I wasn't into that one that much eitherMeeklo
- I'm not a fan, just saying.Jnr_Madison

Lars Ulrich strikes me as the world's biggest douche bag.

Any rock band that needed a full-time therapist to make a crappy album has just got to have embraced the unredeemable suck at some point. There's just no way back from that.

it amuses me how they committed career suicide not completely because of the decline of their music but mostly on the coattails of their loudmouth simpleton of a drummer making stupid noisy criticisms about their fans.
why can't U2 self-destruct in the same way under bono's massive steaming shit of an ego?
- U2 has an enraged Henry Rollins chasing them all the time. They have incentive.TheBlueOne
- i remmeber seeing a clip of him talking shit about them once hahaha7point34

"Mission: Metallica is your inside look at the past two years of riffing, writing and recording," reads a note on the site, which was created by the band's label, Warner Music Group. "[It's] proof that we've actually been doing shit most of this time! We're gonna open the floodgates and share with you photos, videos, riffs and a lot more."
Incredible that they probably have a team of copy editors attempting to "keep it real" with the 80's thrash lingo still. Meanwhile Lars is wondering outloud why some neo-modernist artist painted a pink dot on a black canvas worth $40 mil while sipping $1000 cabernet. Methinks the word is , in words their copy-editing team could understand, "poser".

I don't listen to them anymore, not because of the napster thing, I just grew out of them, but even If I didn't, all this will be reason enough to not listen to them.

a lot of these cases don't work as you'd expect. gung ho lawyers find things like this and then claim to represent celebrities. they then go to the celebrity and show them the case. I know this because I worked a porno company that owned a celebrity porno site (fran drescher and sylvester stallone did porn). they got sued by a few lawyers claiming to be reps.
- sputnik20
SOME lawyers will pursue companies like this, but make no mistake...90% of lawsuits are filed by jackasses who HIRE lawyers. it's not usually the other way around.
so try not to hate on the attorneys too much and look to those hiring and paying them
