Metallica Sues Band Over Usage Of E, F Chords
According to MTV.com, Metallica are suing independant Canadian rockers Unfaith over what they call "unsanctioned usage of two chords [Metallica] have been using since 1982 : E and F.""People are going to get on our case again for this, but try to see it from our point of view just once," stated drummer Lars Ulrich. He adds that they're not saying they own the two chords, individually - "that would be ridiculous" - just that in that specific order, people have grown to associate E, F with their music, and their continued usage in the same song causes "confusion, deception and mistake in the minds of the public."

Metallica.com has issued an official statement on the subject here.

everything on the Internet is 100% true
...except for what I just wrote
- Iconolove0
I am not saying its true, just that its on the metallica site too, plus I wouldn't run it by metallica to do something like that.

metallica does suck but not for that silly reason
- mummer_10
The Metallica thing was a joke, and it was not on Metallica's official site. The Canadian band Unfaith (the ones allegedly being sued) admitted to being behind the whole thing.
- Iconolove0
Oh, well good publicity I guess.
- mummer_10
Maybe. If you ask me, a band going to all that effort to gain publicity at the expense of another band is even tackier than what Metallica did in the first place that made such a joke seem plausible.
That's not sayingI agree with Metallica in any way, it just means this Canadian band actually wound up lower on my respect scale than the band they're poking fun at.
The Bottom of Mike's Respect Scale:
3. Jewel
2. Metallica
1. Unfaith...see?
