Bad Reactions:

Reaction from Author:

I appreciate your e-mail. But this has nothing to do with cutting hair or how many bad albums they have made. I have supported them even through black, load and re-load. Hell I had a metclub membership until 1998. This is about how Metallica used to stand up for the low man. How they encouraged tape trading and treated their fans like the gold that they were. Without the fans metallica is nothing. And they have forgotten all that they used to preach, and said ohhhh by the way, FUCK YOU. Metallica is nothing more than a puppet used by the record companies to attempt to control the distribution of music over the internet. They have allowed themselves to be sold like the slaves that they are. And if you even think about saying "they just want money for the albums they have made" They got their fucking money. I have paid for and own all their crap, even movies and boxsets, since kill em all. Who the fuck, do they think they are?

metallica has not sold out. in reality they are actually covering more territory.... once you have done all you can you must try to do something new, that is what metallica is doing... just because they cut there hair and made two... or three bad albums doesnt mean they have sold out.... metallica is just trying to do all there is to do... by cutting their own hair they have stood out... they are now more talk about then ever before.... even though they have sued napster doesnt mean anything... if you were in their shoes you would do the same thing...dont try to say you wouldnt, each metallica song is a work of art, even there songs that are goos such as the songs of of load and reload. Metallica is the greatest rock band in the world... they will be the best band untill they stop playing music...and even when they stop there music will still be recognized through out the world.. try not to look at what they are doing now, try to see what they have done through out there whole career... And on another note all the other bands that talk shit on metallica are pussy's.. whats with making fun of a band... the only person they hurt is there selve by making the other persons fans mad... just like fred durst he is always talkign shit on other bands and artist when he is the one who sux... he is ruining the art of rock by raping to it and the same as with kid rock.. kid rock and metallica are friends..even kid rock has copied some of metallicas tunes with american bad ass.. he copied sad but true...

Listen man. I see that the responses that you posted in favor of Metallica were mostly from uneducated morons who cannot spell or even use a computer correctly. I also noticed that in each and every e-mail posted, the author called you something like a dickless shit, son of a bitch, etc. I am not going to do that. That will not prove anything. I am just going to tell you that Metallica IS everything that I want from Music. It's easy to criticize Metallica for their 'suit against Napster. However, I think it is important to look at both sides. I see your point when you say that Metallica has "sold out". But they have worked very hard for nearly 20 years to control their Master recordings. They never needed to worry about people taking their shit for free, and all of a sudden, they are shit out of luck. Who have they sold out to? They don't owe me anything, nor do they owe anyone else. They have always been good to their fans. I can't count how many times I have seen them, and they have given an ass-kikin show. Not to mention the free concerts that I have attended. I know that this e-mail will not change your opinion. That is not my goal. All I am going for is to get you to think about it a little more before you condemn Metallica. By the way, I would say that Motley Crew is more than a little bitter. They will never be the band that Metallica was and IS! One last thing. I think that in all of your reign of shit on Metallica, you need to leave Cliff Burton out of it. He was one of the most talented bassists and all around musicians that I have ever seen. To say that he would be rolling around in his grave is bullshit and I think that you should leave Cliff alone!! Thank you for your time! Have a good DAY!!!!!!

goddan88s@yahoo.com

what the hell are you talking about? if u'r hate metallica's go find another band that u want your met.sux web site is just like a piece of shhhiiiiiitt your not a pure met.fans...you just a monkey crap who'll die in the shit hole...i hope so....is just a freight train coming your way!!!!!!!!!!!don't have money to buy a cd huh?

degenerate69@wavesmusic.com

Well, what can I say? I am a true Metallica fan. I can truly say that I love everything that they put out. And I'll definetly be first in line to buy their new album when it comes out. I have nothing against your site, however. I grew past all that stupid-ass whine and complain just because somebody else doesn't like the same music as you do bullshit a long time ago. In fact, I gotta say, if the only people who E-mailed you negatively about your site were the ones that you showed on your site, then I should truly feel ashamed to group myself with those pathetic morons who obviously need to learn how to type before they criticize someone else over how stupid THEY are! : ) I hold out the hope that you only showed the especially stupid E-mails, and left the intellectual ones out. As for me, I actually can appreciate other bands besides Metallica. I'm gonna give ya a short list of other artists I like, not because I wanna show off or anything, but to show you what kind of a MUSIC fan that I am. Here goes: Testament, Pantera, Kid Rock, Silverchair, Seven Mary Three, Led Zepplin, Eric Clapton, B.B. King, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Bugs Henderson, Dr. Dre, Eminem, Ozzy Osborne, etc.... Anyway, my entire point is to show you that not all Metallica fans are ignorant, close-minded, grammatically fucked up dumbasses. : ) Keep up the good work on your site. It is hugely entertaining. It may never bring down Metallica (which it won't... but that's OK), but it successfully stirs up the masses. coffeymax@hotmail.com

Your site is tasteless bullshit. How dare you put down your fucking maker. You never were a really fan, you faggot. And what you said about Cliff? I hope you rot in hell you fuck! People change. People get older. People cut their hair. I changed just like Metallica did. We all die someday. Metallica doesn't make music to suit YOUR needs! They play what they want. I will be a Metallica fan until the day I die. I love all their music. On a closing note: I want to ram a spike through your melon and beat your mom to death with your limp carcass. ROT IN HELL YOU FUCK

MARIAN@VICLINK.COM

What the fuck..do I detect a hint of jealousy? Get your head off your nuts dude. Metallica still makes music for their fans, not for the money you stupid shit.Are you one of those morons who uses Napster? What's the matter, can't afford to buy the cd's?

RichterBld@aol.com

Man, you have some sad issues. They still are Metallica, but they just made a change. They are alowed to cut their hair and dress diffrently. It doesn't make them pussys. Metallica sings for their fans but they need money to make a living. And when people hear their music for free they just down load it and they don't have to go out and buy it. It's a living. Being a singer is about surviving too. If you spent 14 years of your life worshiping them then how the hell can you hate them so quickly? Other singers have complained to Napseter about putting their music on the air and they forced Napster to take it off without sueing. Metallica got pissed and just tried to get back all the money that they had lost. I know that they have money coming out of their assholes but still, I can't hate them for it. Music changes, so do people. You can't hate someone for changing. I can't make you understand. I am only a kid so I suppose anything that I say to you is irrelivant, but I just was trying to make you see.

I wish a bus would turn over on you killing you instantly. And then your freind does something people think you wouldn't agree with, and then somedicklick says "Gee, he must be rolling over in his grave." and you know you would accept probably anything your freind does. You are by far the biggest cock knocker in the world, and I hope when you die you meet Cliff Buton, and he beats the piss out of you, you horrible sack of shit! Have a good evening!

From : SLAPPY2Xtreme@aol.com

hey bitch boy you don't Know about metallica's music so quite shoting off your mouth dickless bitch

therb@goplay.com

High I saw your little site. Cute. You have a lot of talent on the computer. But I disagree with the things that you say. Since you have gotten the hate e-mail's that others have sent I wont bother in telling you what a dickless, fair weather wonder that you are and how much I would just love to beat you over the head with my S&M album. No. I will not do that. I would just like to help you with the rage that you are feeling right now. Obviously you do not have enough of a life to see the greatness in what Metallica was, is, and continues to be. Under normal circumstances I would tell you to solve your rage by listening to Metallica, but you obviously are not worthy. You and those like you should be pitted for your transgressions. But I have no pity for you. The reason your mad is because in your anal life you need something to be mad about. You now hate the great Metallica because you were never a real Metallica fan. I am sure that in time you will notice what a grave mistake you have made. When you do I implore you to not buy another Metallica cd and do not go to another Metallica show. They own you nothing. You have no loyalty or common sense. If you did you would see the logic in what Lars is saying. You and the other infidel's saying that Metallica sucks need to seek help and be forced to listen to Men at Work and Phish cd's forever in repentance. So I change my stance. Rage is good I hope you get sodomized by a sawed-off pool cue. Sincerely, A real Metallica Fan. P.S. Blow ME

REPLY FROM LARSBLOWSGOATS

LOL. man you are sad. let me clarify a few points real quick if i might, thanks. first of all. i never said i liked kid rock. they just happened to be on tour with Metallica at the time, and they were giving away free e-mail boxes, and since lars has been hanging out constantly with Kid Rock i figured the spineless bastard might actually hear about the flash i made about the sadest rock story every written. secondly, trendy? im not sure i understand that phrase coming from a poser with an e-mail address of "Richallica@aol.com". LOL ask yourself again who is the trendy? thirdly, im posting this e-mail on lagmonster.com/metallicrap for everyone to see. i believe your idiotic message is the truth behind the type of people that still listen to that sellout of a band who used to be called Metallica. any other questions or comments, keep em to yourself, you bore me. thanks again for the entertainment. smile for the world wide web =)

Sincerely, Metallicrap

Good Reactions:

Metallicrap~

My friend and i were just surfing around and came across ur site. I am not a huge metallica fan, never was never will be so when i heard about them bitching and moaning about napster and all this crap i said fuck them, they just killed themselves. My friend however is a diehard metallica friend and even he said that u hit it perfectly. We were both bustin out laughing at what u r saying and what these people r writing back. I know that I am just like these other people and that no one gives a crap about what I have to say, so what. I really dont care what others think. U have what appears to be an open forum so im going to use it. Metallica at one point was good, then they took a long ass break, cut their hair and came out sitting on stools. What the fuck. It seems like they feel that they r too old to stand for an entire show but hell the real Gods of rock can do it. Aerosmith has been playing for a little over 30 years now and they dont need to sit when playing. Metallica can say whatever it wants in its defence but im my eyes they r little babies and have to get their way or cry about it. My friend wants to defend the band saying that its not the band that is being the bitch but Lars himself. What my friend has said time after time, and im starting to believe it, is that they were all just sitting around one day and Lars who is the worlds biggest prick was like "we have nothing to do and i want more money so lets go and take it from r loyal and trusting fans. They all have their heads way up their asses and wont know" Well guess what we do. SO lars fuck u and if the other band members r involved then fuck them too.

Incredibly tired of the bitching, loki_85@hotmail.com

Wow. Mettalica is awful now. They've been on one hell of a downhill slide since somewhere inside the BLACK album. But like this site is saying, THE COMPLAINT IS NOT ABOUT HOW BAD AND AWFUL THEIR MUSIC HAS BECOME. IT IS ABOUT THEIR HYPOCRISY BY ATTACKING SUCH A BRIGHT, SHINY THING AS NAPSTER. LARS has repeatedly said their success was due to tape traders, tape traders who were told by them to dub their tapes, pass them out, circulate them. This was even said to the fans inside their leaps to copyrighted record labels! But now that they are big, they're just A BIG AMOEBA, ATTEMPTING TO CONSUME ALL SMALLER ORGANISMS TO BECOME EVEN BIGGER. They most certainly have "SOLD-OUT" the integrity of their music. Now they have sold out to the record companies again to use their big name as a pawn to support THE GREED OF THE INDUSTRY. This is just the nail in their coffin. Napster is not bad. It has things that will never see the light of day. Things record companies would work to REGIONALLY FILTER by availability to country or state based on availability. DIE METALLICA, DIE. OOPS, YOU'RE ALREADY DEAD! LOL! OK, here's what I don't like. I want an old tv commercial... BOOM, someone taped it off an old audio cassette and threw it on Napster. I want to hear the Japanese opening to the Digimon cartoon as opposed to the crappy Americanized one. BOOM, someone on Napster has it there. I go to a club and a DJ played a freaky live mix of intermingled copyrighted songs and resulted in a beautiful song of emotion. BOOM, someone on Napster had taped it. OK, SO HOW WOULD I GET THESE THINGS WITHOUT NAPSTER AS IT IS? WILL IT BE POSSIBLE WHEN THE RECORD COMPANIES MOVE IN? Let's see, I suppose anti-napster guys expect me to go through obscure collectors or request from the company or advertiser of that commercial to send me a copy? I guess I am to track down a Japanese Digimon cd, pay outlandish rates to get it to me, and have it maybe not be what i wanted? And I guess I should also be expected to pray two opposing record labels get together one night soon and make a mix of their resources to produce what a DJ with his own distinct style and feel for for the music was able to create? OK, WHATEVER! THE RIAA IS A DINOSAUR LONG OVERDUE IT'S TIME ON EARTH. I'm not afraid. Technology will always be there to help us so-called "THIEVES". : )

NAPSTER209@aol.com

Just thought I'd drop a line to give you some kudos on your website. I actually started reading the "Bad Posts" before the movie even loaded (slow connection), so I was kinda bewildered when the music came on. All I can say, man, is that your movie's really, really sad. In a good way. It's sort of like watching a movie about an ex-girlfriend with whom you're still infatuated but can't believe who she's going out with or what she's doing since you broke up. There's anger, frustration, nostalgia, and sort of a bleak loneliness that comes from the end of something, and all of that is conjured up in the simple lines of text, flying pictures, and music that you used. I have a friend who is the bigest Metallica-head I have ever met. Had all their CD's, worshipped their music, said that they were the band that really got him started on the heavy music. He grew up in Sacramento, CA and went to a bunch of their shows back in the day. He was dissappointed when "Load" came out and they cut their hair, but not grief-stricken. He figured, "everyone changes and grows up, that's OK, I've still got my memories of the old Metallica." Then Lars pulled his shit with Napster. I went to my friend's house one day to find ALL of his Metallica CD's broken into small fragments and glued, reflective-surface out, to painted pieces of cardboard. These CD's were some of his favorite possessions. He's known for making art out of junk - gatorade bottles, straws, whatever's at hand. Apparently he was still so attached to the CD's that he couldn't throw them out, but he couldn't listen to them again either. Personally, I was never huge into Metallica, at least relative to their "super-fans". I dug 'em, but as one digs an excellent band, not as the be-all and end-all; gods among artists. I actually got into them via the "Black" album. Yeah, heresy, I know, but having gone back and purchased the old stuff, you'll find I don't listen to anything after "...And Justice" anymore. Their early stuff is, for lack of a better word, amazing. Unfortunately, after this Napster debacle, I don't listen to 'em at all anymore, but i was never so attached to Metallica that I felt as betrayed as my friend (and shit, i paid $20 a pop for my CD's, they're an investment). But i'm a NIN fan, obsessively so, to the level of my friend's love for Metallica, and I can only imagine what I would feel like if Trent had done what Lars did. There'd probably be some CD breakin' goin' on. You captured that sense of betrayal and loss on your website, my friend. So, congratulations on the website: It's excellent, and on behalf of all the disillusioned fans: AMEN, BROTHER.

Ian Malcolm caostrophy@hotmail.com

Yo dude, whats up. I'm a 20 year old from Philadelphia. I just wanted to make a few comments about your site. First of all, Im pretty much in the same boat as you are, i loved metallica for a long long time, when i was 10 years old i went out and bought and justice for all... it was my first metal tape. Thats the metallica i love. I loved their albums from kill em all through reload and garage inc. When they up out an album of cover songs, i got a little weary of them. The S&M album released and i loved it. (i love music of all sorts even calssical). Heres why i hate metallica now, Back then they were all about music, now they are all about money. Poeple are right, as you get older you do change and/or sell out. On the other hand, most peopole usually know when to quit. Metallica doesnt. When they first started out, they used illegal copies of tapes and bootlegs to become known. Now they are throwing that same idea into every one of their fan's faces. Now they they are multi-billionares they just want more and more money and dont give a shit about their fans. Its true what they say, money is the source of all evil. When you become overwhelmed with money, you start dicking over those that mean the most to you. in this case, the metallica fans got the shaft. ITs time for them to throw in the towel. They should quit while most of the fans still respect them. Oh and while im at it, just for the record, I disappear is the worst goddamn metallica song i ever did hear. Just think, i mistaked a "heavy metal band" for matchbox 20. Thats not the metal im into. Well i forget the fucking point i was trying to make in the first place so i'll just end it here. I leave with these words, PANTERA will never sell out. They have a good mentallity and i think all bands should love their fans the way they do. Later Mike. mav23@drexel.edu

Dude, first of all, your site serves a good purpose. Providing a forum for disgruntled fans (or x-fans) that the band is likely to see. When I was first turned on to Metallica it was 1985, I was 15, and it was an absolutely fuckin' incredible summer. Listening to Celtic Frost, Dr. Know, Slayer, Megadeath & especially Metallica! I saw them open for Ozzy in 1987 and they fuckin rocked! They were everything that I felt at that time. THEY FUCKIN RULED! If someone was to play their music from that era and then play their music now they would be absolutely nuts to think that the band has not sold out. Their music now fuckin blows! They have completely abandoned their roots, their music, their image, and especially their fans! This whole Napster thing has only solidified what I already knew. They are fucking sellouts! They think their earnings are down in 2000 because of Napster? That's funny!! Their earnings are down because no one gives a fuck about a bunch of washed up, sellout, has beens, who are making shitty music! I was truly a fan, and now I am truly not!

rhamilton@flashcom.com

Hey, I have to say your site is great. I've been to all the anti-Metallica sites and yours is by far the best. Because you can tell your a ex-fan. Most other sites seem to want to support Napster. When the real issue is really Metallica, and that they sold out. Not how they sold out, just that they did. And Napster and the lawsuit was just the final straw. Because all their music sucks now. I haven't bothered to listen to any of that crappy shit. Listen to Load and Reload once each. Then never again. I hadn't heard any of that syphony crap 'till I heard it on your webpage and I almost fucking cried. Fine, so they can't produce anything worth listening to now, but to destroy the Metallica we all loved...bastards. I fucking hate them. I've sold all my CD's. And all those retards that write you and are still all "Metallica Rules!" and saying your wrong are fucked up. 'Cause do they really still feel that way about them, or do they still love the band I love...the Metallica that made Master of Puppets and Kill 'Em All? Because I do still love that band. But their dead now, and I will not listen to them. New or old. It's unbelievable to me that it was this band that did this. I can't even ...fuck, Metallica of all people! I fucking hate them, like was it all for show? Were they always these greedy fucking faggots and just posing or what the fuck? Anyways I'm sure you've heard this all before. Just wanted you to know I think your sites great, keep it up and I hear you loud and clear! FUCK METALLICA! Denise Calgary, Alberta, Canada

What's up. I almost died laughing at the "weird postings" that look like they were made by utter psychos (!), especially the "homo" who claims to be sniffing glue all the time (that wouldn't be man's glue would it??) I have to admire your putting the pro-Metallica negative reactions first -- it really shows these punks for what they are, a bunch of semen-sucking poser-ass teenyboppers who first got into Metallica when the "black album" came out and are stuck on these fake-ass punks, even going so far as to say that "Metallica still makes music for their fans" (!!!) (I'm an AOL member myself and I'm going to spam the hell out of this fag from Cali who wrote that to you! In fact, let me copy and paste his member profile so you can post it on the site.)

There you go, confessions from a self-proclaimed nerd who listens to Depeche Mode...real metal head, right? I dare you to post this punk's profile after his posting...Anyway, you can tell from the tone of my letter that I am vehemently anti-Metallica. I saw these guys open for Ozzy in 87, their first and last decent live show of theirs that I saw with my own eyes, and they were even fucking up in that show; during "Seek And Destroy", Lars was dropping his drumsticks all over the fucking place. Anyway, Ozzy started his set by, as my friend describes it, "coming down from (the ceiling) like God" and summarily blowing the Metallifucks off the stage that they tried to usurp. (One thing I will say in their favor: These guys did have the Brendan Byrne Arena in the Meadowlands, New Jersey full to capacity and that's very difficult to do for an opening band; the arena was filled up like for the headliner. Of course, we all saw the light afterwards, you can't fool the people forever...) One more thing: Following Metallica's evil victory against Napster, at the time of writing, MP3.com was ordered to pay a whopping $25 million in a judgment against them brought by Universal (I believe) for "copyright infringement" (of course, fed steam by Lars & Co's evil crusade). Die Metallica! Al. PS. You might want to add the link http://www.geocities.com/alternication to your site; it's called the "Metallica Sux Website" and has all the facts about how this greedy foursome cheated and stole their way to the top -- worthy reading for all the teenybopper ball-lickers who spam you on a regular basis. (Sorry, no hyperlink.)

Ihategomar@aol.com

Great Site! Sadly, I don't think the "Bad Reaction" people quite understand this site very well. It's not about "cutting hair" or settling for subpar music or whatever. It's about the sad fact that everything Metallica once stood for doesn't seem to matter to them anymore. I distinctly remember Lars in an interview around 1987 saying "it's not about how big the house is, is the car a five speed, or shit like that. If you want money, just go out and fucking steal it." Sounds to me that the Master of Puppets have become the puppets themselves. And that's fine. Anthrax had a quote in the liner notes for the song "Dallabnikcufecin" on Attack of the Killer B's: "...and if those kind of bands want to sound like that that's fine. They can suck if they want to." I think that applies here very well. I, too, used to be a huge Metallica fan back in the day, but they haven't released an album since 1989. Wonder what ever happened to them... As far as "real fans" go, your "diehard" Metallica fan in 2000 is about one tenth as hardcore as a 1987 Metallifuk. You see, they were never ridiculed or laughed at for wearing a Metallica T-shirt in high school. They never had problems trying to find the CDs. If you were a Metallica fan back then, you were probably listening to Slayer, Anthrax, and Megadeth as well, not Britanny Spears, Blink 182, and Garth Brooks. But at any rate, cut the black album fans a little slack. This is a crowd that still thinks Marilyn Manson is really into devil worship (obviously people who've never listened to a single tune from Venom, but I'll save that one for the "Marilyn Manson Sucks" website).

I want to start off by saying I never liked Metallica. In the "...Lightning" days, in the "Garage" days, the "Black" days, or even yesterday for that matter. That simple fact led me to this website. Metallica has and always will suck... however!!... what Lars is pursuing is wrong. There's no other way around it. His exploitation of himself and his band by giving us the IMPRESSION that they actually have views NOT given to them by their management is, at BEST, a way to revive themselves from their last 4 musical failures. Unfortunately, the record sales for those albums show us all the dark path music is headed. They seemed to forget that when they were broke, THAT is when their music meant something to the fans as well as themselves. But when they tasted the money they forgot what it felt like to be doing it for fun. Now they have the resources to make themselves look good. Whether it's for good or bad intentions, publicity is publicity. Metallica's attack on the Napster site/community is: 1) a feeble publicity stunt which is, mind you, poorly written and rehearsed, JUST LIKE THEIR MUSIC!!, 2) a cry for a new generation of fans because they realized they've lost the old ones by shitting on C.D's and selling them as "music", 3) a way to make the money they "supposedly" lost in all of the metallica downloads. One of your musically declined "fans" mentioned listening to Phish as repentance for dissing Metallica. Is it irony that he chose a band that provides "recording centers" at their concerts just so people can record tapes and share them with all of their nitrous-huffing hippie buddies that couldn't get off work to go to the show?! In disagreeing with you, he acknowledged the fact that this recording and sharing of music is an age old tradition. It's so accepted in todays society that he probably doesn't realize that he's accepted it by suggesting you listen to it! For the guy who dissed Phish, I'll let you in on a little secret... Phish has more talent and appreciation for music than Metallica EVER will... so phuck off! In case you disagree, answer this... when was the last Metallica concert that carried along a full-fledged carnival IN ADDITION TO a three day concert? When? ...never? That's what I thought chump. Bitches, gripes, complaints, praises, money? Send them to

dude i agree with you 100%. they were awesome. then came the black album. it sucked dick. and so did every thing after that. and slappy 2xtreme can go blow goats with lars. cliff is probably looking down on selloutica right now. if cliff was alive today he would have quit or made the band brake up. cliff was awesome. there is no way he would have sold out with those assholes. i truly hate selloutica. i also think its funny hearing about lars appearing on mtv. theyre also touring with all the trendy rock bands. theyre new album is going to be even worse. i hope they go bank rupt and have to live on the street. how could they do such a horrible thing? they are a disgrace to all music. from, ozbourne09@aol.com p.s kid rock blow goats too

Greetings from the Dark. I go to Newgrounds on a regular basis, and am also a true fan of Metallica - OLD Metallica that is, not this trendy, sellout bullshit that they've been pulling. There are many things to be said about them, but nothing that hasn't been said before. I agree wholeheartedly with your movie and I fully support it, and if you need someone to Spam every fucking email that exists on the web to tell them to go watch that flash movie, I'll do it. That movie should be the argument for Napsters' defense (although I really don't like Napster) - even though Electra records and the retards at the RIAA already crushed the small company in court, and Napster officially goes offline at midnight tonight, it would be, and is, a monolith of truth about them and how they are now. I'm 22 now, my hair is down to my belly button - (go see me on my cheesy site if ya want - http://www.angelfire.com/nj/thewarlock )and I've been with Metallica since Justice - the last true Metallica album untainted by Bob Rock. I feel betrayed by them, as Metallica made me who and what I am in many aspects. I play guitar and keyboard, and Metallica was my primary source of inspiration - the driving force to make me want to play, and to see them now disgusts me. They, in a way, have created many of us. But it seems that the student will always surpass his/her teacher, and there is nothing more that can be learned from them; aside for how to TREACHERIZE all of your loyal and devoted fans, and BASTARDIZE all of your own greatest musical works. If only Cliff was still here.

Thank you for doing what we were all thinking. A decade and a half of supporting their causes and beliefs, and this is how they thank US...the FANS!!?? I'm still unsure as to why one greedy bastard actually thinks he is going to censor the internet and taylor it to his own best interest??!! Doesn't matter anyway, he is killing himself--people are pissed, fans are pissed; what a complete idiot. "Musicians Against Piracy"? Why not call it "Musicians For Greed"? Contrary to popular belief, music is not actually a comodity, like goods or services or even the CD it's recorded on; so on a fundamental level it can't be stolen anyway. Why can't people understand this? Every time I hear other "musicians" jumping on this "stealing" bandwagon about napster I can't help but laugh my ass off. If you consider what you do to be a "job", then you cannot possibly be a true musician. Downloading from napster is fundamentally no different than taping music off the radio, it's just the technology has changed, and these frightfully ignorant cry babies can't stand it. And they have the nerve to call themselves artists? MESSAGE TO LARS: Vincent Van Gogh, and John Lennon were artists, you are a self-rightous pig, just remember Lars, you cant take it with you!

I saw your video and I thought it would be some pisstake at metallica or their fans for their style of music. I watched it and I apologise for misjudging you. My eyes have been opened to the corrupt, greedy, pathetic situation the once great Metallica is in. It touched me so much that I felt compelled to contact you to basically let you know that there will be other fans, waking up to your message and taking heed. I congratulate you on what you have created. I disappear...

Hey man, I recently visited your site (for about the twentieth time..heh) I personally agree..I have followed the Band since they started, I remember when thier music had the Edge, you could feel it in the sound, now....well...they are right up there with all the rest of those Top 40 Sell-Outs arent they?? I love part two to the site..I send out the address everytime I see the topic of the band (I refuse to use thier name....and they lost the caps now..) or Napster in any chatroom or anytime it is brought up . your site is a nice timeline..it really shows how fame and money will twist something good..its horrible to think that they who once created music that could vibrate the roots of your soul are now nothing more than another cog in the big money machine... I Mourn for Music!

I too have been listening to mettalica for 14 years. I was a fan of the old school jams. When they cut thier hair I forgave them since I too cut my mane off . I was bewildered when they did a remake of Segers turn the page which completely sucks and is an obvious sign of thier lack of energy and creativity. Segars version isnt even worth a damn. But now THIS. There is no question anymore as to if they are cool or hip THEY have conspired against us and now side with the corporate scum sucking record exec PIGS and they are suing their own fans?!!!???!!!! I even met some stupid dirtbag kid that thought THEY invented the act of letting fans tape at the show! What a fucking dumbass!! After I heard the ruling today from the dike judge in SF I blew a complete gasket , I have never been so pissed off in my life ,Thank YOU for creating this site and giving me a forum to vent my anger. I will do everything in my power to spread the word and bring mettalica down. They deserve to be banished from every radio station and music store worldwide I hope they dont ever sell one more record. Music fans and artists have been getting fucked by music corporations for far too long and now mettalica has TOTALLY sold out and turned against their own fans for the almighty dollar. My hatred for their capitalistic greedy sell out, lame ways so outweighs any love I once had for their music is astonishing. Please put together a list of ALL parties involved in putting napster out of busisness so it can be downloaded by every music loving netizen so we can enforce a full economic boycott of them all and they will go out of business.

Hey, I too have been a Metallica fan since the early days, and I find it ironic. These putrid little shits that send you hate mail have probably been Metallica fans since way back in the Black days, lol!!!!!! Also, I find it funny that in both messages there were several words misspelled ( Message to morons, spell check works!!!!!!!) I despise the band "Formerly Known As Metallica". One more thing , that has pissed me off about this band, is that they refuse to play my favorite (Ex) song ....... "Dyer's Eve" , I guess they forget a lot of things....... Thanks and have a good one, later
