Oh, come on. Don't be a fucking blockhead. Metallica and Black Sabbath spent their "hard-earned" money on drugs, and hookers, and other wasteful shit. Know when they got this money? Album five. Ozzy said it himself, "After vol. 4 we just started to make music for the money." Do you seriously expect me to support that? They tell stories on VH1 about speedballs and jaegermeister-soaked holidays, and then you expect me to feel bad for these assholes? Fucking rock stars, they should all have cinder blocks shoved into their cunts.

So, if it sucks, why bother downloading it? Time is more porecious than money. I may be wierd like this, but I usually only listen to music I like. Maybe I'm just crazy.
And by the way, its their money, they earned it. Who the fuck do you think you are to tell them how to spend it?

Also, "artistic integrity crap." What do you think music is? Are you going to buy a cd that's extremely medicore in every way? No, you're not. Are you going to keep supporting a band that makes the same damn record every year for two decades?

I'm not going to listen to it at all. Time > money.
Why bother stealing it?

Despite what you may think, playing in a band IS NOT A WISE CAREER CHOICE.

No shit.

These guys know what they're doing and what the dangers are when they get into the music business, and if they also know what's good for them, they're going to GET A FUCKING JOB when times get rough. There's no reason to starve yourself for money, that's absolutely retarded. You wanna know why the guys in Mortician, or Anal Cunt, or Lymphatic Phlegm aren't suing anyone? Because they have jobs.

And Metallica, Dr Dre, Geffen, Sony and all those others have a job. Music. Oh, you forgot that there is more involved in the music industry than some mook playing a guitar, didn't you?
Quote:
That's what makes Metallica greedy, their utter disregard for making anything of mention anymore.
|
Because they want to be paid for their hard work? Because they don't want to go back a 9 to 5 lifestyle? I think by that standard 9 out of 10 people on earth would end up greedy in their spot.

Ya, that does pretty much sum up your rant. I can add "pretnetious" if you like.
Quote:
The point is that when you're in a band, the focus is the music, nothing else.
|
That is great when you play out of mom and dad's garage. But, when you grow up and realize you have to do this for a living, it gets more complicated. In case you haven't noticed, Metallica et al are protecting their music.
And how are all your favorite bands supposed to focus on music when they are working other jobs?

If you get into art, serious art fans are going to be concerned with the integrity and quality of your art, not how many hookers you can fuck with a fish in a hotel in Norway.

Fuck "serious art fans". Seriously, fuck them all. Its one thing to not like your band's latest work. It is something else to steal it and then make like they are comitting another Holocaust.
You self proclaimed music experts are so pretentious it is laughable. What happened to just sitting back and enjoying some music? Metallica making shitty music( I agree St Anger is blowing monkey ass)? Find another band.
If some dummy wants to pay them for what they are doing, more power to 'em.
