| Skulhedface | What's actually pretty disturbing that even when pointed out as a hoax, most people can actually say it fits them to a T. | |

| sloth | This is a hoax, started by a spoof website and perpetuated by several sincere websites in good faith. Most have since removed it. | |

| Schimid | Eh. I'm not surprised. Metallica doesn't want to make music. Metallica wants money. | |

"'They continue to shamelessly feature the two chords on their website song samples and we just can't have that,' she said."  I guess they aren't allowed to make music with the E and F cords anymore. |

Metallica plunge new depths of rubbishness Pathetic beyond belief: Metallica are taking legal action against Unfaith over what they feel is unsanctioned usage of the E and F chords. The band say they have been using the two chords since 1982, and fans have come to associate them with their music. They say they should be credited every time the chords are used, and want 50% of the royalties for each song that features them. Metallica's Lars Ulrich told MTV. "We're not saying we own those two chords, individually - that would be ridiculous. "We're just saying that in that specific order, people have grown to associate E, F with our music." Metallica filed a trademark infringement suit against the Canadian indie group at the US district court for central California. Metallica's lawyer, Jill Pietrini, said the band decided to take legal action only after first sending a letter of complaint to Unfaith singer/songwriter, Erik Ashley. "They continue to shamelessly feature the two chords on their website song samples and we just can't have that," she said. Ashley, in the meantime, is still shocked by the entire story, and hasn't yet decided how the band will respond. "I thought it was a prank at first," he said. "Now I'm not sure what to think." |
