Uh, Metallica were considered sellouts when ...And Justice for All came out cuz they started making videos. The Black Album was great but at the same time it wasn't because of their ex-producer Bob Rock. I would've done the same thing with the whole Napster thing, though.

The black album still rocked. Metallica was great before Load. Everyone knows Lars is a D-bag. He started the whole DRM thing and was the mouthpiece of the attack on Napster. James was probably too drunk to know what was going on at the time and Jason Newstead and Kirk Hammett didn't care. You never heard them speak out against Napster. It was all King Nothing's fault aka Lord D-bag Ulrich. Thier new stuff is expected to be pretty good though...more of a return to their roots or at least as much as possible without Cliff Burton.

As much as I am and have been a Metallica Fan since 1983, Lars was hypocritical after Suing Napster and Fans to turning Metallica.com into a HUGE Download Portal.

Bottom line, Lars and James are Metallica. Jason getting kicked from the band for telling Playboy that he just wanted to play music rather then all this legal stuff came off to Lars that "Either you are with us or against us" (Very Bush Like).

Kirk is a Follower and really not one to get in the way.

For the most part, their library of music is like no other and worth owning, but with St. Anger, I still feel that they made a Bad Album on purpose and basically though "Download this crap, ad 30 Million of you will still buy it!"

What can be learned here: When you are on top of the world and have a huge following, don't bit the hand that feeds you!

Lars you hypocrite. I like Metallica as a band but I think they need to throw in the towel, or terminate Lars......whichever is easiest.

Hypocrites.

THEN:

Metallica started the underground anti-social metal movement back in the day. They expected and welcomed their fans to go against the norm and society.

NOW:

Metallica is basically dissing the same people they helped create!!

To late Metallica. You should have stayed with the times instead of being asses. And what did it get you in the end. Nothing. Now you want to come into the modern world its to late. You are an epic fail.

Yeah, way to use a line he said on VH-1. Nobody on VH-1 was ever a sellout.

Besides a real metallica show (or any show) wouldn't have seats to begin with.

I am a Metallica fan, I have all their albums from Kill 'em All to Load (which I was a huge disappointing let down.) After than I didn't buy anymore, there was no need.

Any who...

Metallica would have never become popular had it not been for people trading tapes illegally.

Then Napster came and they were pissed because people were doing the same thing with MP3's. Only difference was they were one of the biggest bands and were losing money because of it. Thus making Lars a huge hypocrite when that happened.

Did any of you guy's see the South Park about that? The people who want it will buy it. The people who download it wouldn't buy it anyway if they couldn't download it.

Now they've done a 180 and are twice the hypocrite they were after Napster. I can honestly say I haven't heard a single St. Anger song. From what I've heard about it, that's fine with me.

I used to buy Metallica albums, but as soon as they ruined Napster(the greatest website EVER) I stopped purchasing their music or going to shows. The only money I've sent their way since then was for the Rock Band tracks, and I hope most of that cash went to Harmonix and MTV Games, not the band.

What kills me about them too is their first Home Video Release (Cliff Em All - VHS). If you have this video you will know but if not, it was COMPLETELY done from Bootleg Video's that the fan made / took over the years.

When you read the packaging and the Credits, they "THANKED" their fans for being so loyal and they were the reason (Providing The Bootlegs) that the video was possible.

They (Like The Greatful Dead) used to encourage their fans to try to get recording devices into the shows.

Now if you use Technology with them, you are bound to have a Cepena / Warrant @ your door, but if you want to get their products, they prefer you use Technology.

You can't take away from what they have accomplished, but LARS IS A HYPOCRITE!

In my opinion, Metallica is the #1 band on earth, what a band does with their spare time doesn't matter to me I only care about the music they play. Don't wanna pay for music? get Limewire... or a job.

ALSO St. Anger had quite a few good songs but lets face it, theres atleast one or two songs on every album by every band that just isn't so good.

All bands have good times, and bad.

I have all of Metallica's studio albums and I personally love them all. Honestly, Kill Em All was my least favorite of the bunch. It was just too punk sounding for me. Everything else was amazing.
