I know we are digressing slowly but Metallica were always at their best on an organic level. The more thought that went in the more they lost their appeal. It's a simple cover but this is how great they were at covers:

Politics aside, musically; metallica are boring. I watched their last video, 'the day that never comes' and I have to say it was painful to sit through. It's just pure egotistical nonsense - ridiculously long (not to mention boring) guitar interludes, the unnecessary outburst of heaviness in the middle of the song and not to mention the 'epic' video... no thank you!
My least favourite over-rated band - alongside the Red Hot Chili Peppers... |

I have only a passing interest in them, mainly because I thought St. Anger stood out as a different album, and i actually thought it took a bit of guts to actually put that album out there...
... To hear that they went "back to their roots" on their most recent album, though kinda makes me feel like they dulled down any promise of reinvention St. Anger could have been offering... ...shame about that...

I always did think they copped a bit too much stick for defending their intellectual property.
I kind of always felt like the first wave of rampant mp3 dowloading, Napster etc, was as much a story of greedy fans who wanted music for free as one about greedy record companies... Ya see, that dude holding that guitar that you supposedly admire... he needs to eat. Now he is making the music you love full time and promoting it, but you don't wanna give him or her a red cent for the works he / she is producing. There is something inherently wrong with that economic model, ya know?

I'm not sure how many red cents he was getting anyway.
I think musicians are making more money now that we have more access. I can think of a handful of bands that wouldn't have had anything if the hit parader of idiot grunge bands were still out there willing to suck corporate **** for 3 seconds of fame. "hey wanna pretend your childhood sucked and wear teenagers clothes until we send you back to AutoZone?" The internet will deliver us from awful.
