digital tragedy

actually i think it's one of the great tragedies of recent times that music is so readily pirated digitally. i don't mind media being cheaper as a result of new technology and distribution mechanisms, but i doubt we'll ever see a great band ever again as a result of today's fickle and transient attitude to music, and as lars said, its commoditisation through digtial pirating.

Dissapointed in their sound

Metallica used to be alot better before their "Frantic" album was released.. I hope they go back , to their old sound..

I think ive got 14 metallica CD's.. some might be live maybe one or two bootlegs etc. but ive got most of their music.. but when they released Frantic.. I listend to it and didn't purchase it.

GREED

How many poor people have been taken to the cleaners because of Metallicas greed. I myself will never, ever buy an album and much less a song from Metallica. You guys got on the wrong bus and now want the driver to take a shortcut! Because of your lack of future thinking (Times change, believe it or not...) you are now destined to stale with stink. I hope that you guys will never make a penny and if you do, that your taxes will scuff it all up. You will be avoided because of your greed! Your beef is with the Record Label not with the small fries. Check your contract fools...
