"Thanks for your support and for the doubters out there, Metallica will carry on for the next 20 years, whether your along for the ride or not, that's your problem, not ours."
Lars Ulrich's kiss-off to fans.
Jeff Bridges, as The Dude, describing the members of Metallica in The Big Lebowski.
Clearly, Lars Ulrich (and cronies) are sucking Satan's cock. What else could explain their meteoric rise on devil metal fame, and now the Napster fiasco?
The funny thing about all this is that they're a dead band anyway, and have been for a while. Not too long after they cut their hair (the last big stunt that got them any play, and also the high-water mark of their talent, power and popularity), most people lost interest in them and turned instead to similar but more forward-looking sounds like Rob Zombie or NIN.
Hearing those has-been, faded glory millionaires whine about their "art" being co-opted for "commerce" is so sad it's funny. They're in the same category as a Tom Jones or a Tony Bennett: they should be thrilled the kids think enough of their shit as to want to spend the bandwidth downloading it for free.
