I love Megadeth, hate that Dave became a Trump supporting, anti vax, conspiracy nutjob.
I could have gone without knowing this =(
Metallica is the reason that P2P file sharing is almost impossible post-Web 2.0. There’s an argument to be made that someone else would’ve taken Napster to court if Metallica didn’t, but they did, and the internet has been shit ever since. Fuck them and their friends who think their garbage variety of radio-friendly variety of Beer Metal is anything worth listening to

Metallica singer James Hetfield has said he is proud that his music is used against enemies of the US
Metallica’s Enter Sandman had became a particular favourite at the height of the War on Terror, when US interrogators admitted using music to break the resistance of captives in Iraq. The goal was to deprive them of sleep and offend their cultural sensibilities.
Unco-operative prisoners were exposed to children’s TV music from Sesame Street, and the purple singing dinosaur Barney.
Sergeant Mark Hadsell of the Psychological Operations Company (Psy Ops) told Newsweek magazine: "These people haven’t heard heavy metal. They can’t take it.
“If you play it for 24 hours, your brain and body functions start to slide, your train of thought slows down and your will is broken. That’s when we come in and talk to them.”
The fuck?
Oh, are you just now learning that America has been the bad guys pretty much since the beginning?
My metal head friend said that Metallica became a pop band when they released the black album.
Your metalhead friend was correct. I personally think that that “Metallica” died with Cliff Burton. No hate to Jason Newstead, but Cliff was the one in the band with musical integrity.
