| ann_bell's Full Review: Metallica by Metallica |
I was never into thrash metal. I did wanna give em a try after listening to "The One" on radio..but heck who has the time to go CD shopping, and spend 15 bucks for just one song..Then one fine day I realized I had listened to and almost memorized about 5 Metallica songs. Courtesy the evolution of mp3. They are so easily available these days, and for free.
And well well what do you know, it was "Hail Metallica"..I found me playing "Nothin Else Matters" before going to bed, and "Battery" while eating dinner and "Of Wolf & Men" at work..and so on..yes Metallica had acquired one more fan. I even purchased their S&M recently and I thought it was pretty good..
Until the napster suit..the band is rolling in riches..and have forgotten to keep em fans coming..cuz "Nothing Else Matters". what they heck they are the ones that always mattered,,remember they are the reason why metallica made its mega bucks. And why napster ? Why the mp3 industry ? Its almost like metallica is trying to protect itself from going bankrupt in anticipation of tanking sales of their deteriorating music..
So many artists have released their copyrighted works in digital format, just so they can boost up their audience. Its almost like advertising..Dont they get it ? And thats not it, thats what made them popular in the first place.
Metallica is known to have not only encouraged bootlegs, but also allowed people to trade their demo-taps when they were trying to make their career
Only then, Metallica needed word-of-mouth to gain popularity. Now money is everything to them..Nothing Else Matters..
Its a pity that Metallica would do a thing like that. They have put art to a shame..no art is a success without an appreciator. There are more anti-metallica sites than there are pro-metallica sites today.
The moral of the story ? Well have other artistes figured it out ?.
