I'm not saying that Metallica's music isn't good anymore, that hasn't changed. I just don't like their attitudes about the whole thing. Music isn't about the money, its about getting it out to everybody. If I was an artist, it would make me happy that my music was out there for people to download, it will bring new fans that will go out and buy the music...like I said before I am a downloading fool, but I go for the unreleased, hard to find stuff, imports, acoustics, etc. And I love cd's way too much, I will always buy them.

Never frown because you never know when someone is falling in love with your smile.

I have a question. What is the one thing that is completely out of our control? What has no face, no personality, no beginning and no end? What transcends all race, culture and language, and dictates our actions and keeps us in sync? Give up? Some have more, some have less. It all depends on what you decide to do with it. Everyone has the opportunity to shine. Everyone can have their moment in the spotlight. Others will have their time, but this is our time, the only difference, we're here to stay.

>Personally, Nikki, I'm not offended by this perspective, I just don't understand it. Does the fact that a band (Metallica specifically, but ANY band that feels as they do would suffice) doesn't want people stealing THEIR music mean it's not good music anymore? And why is it that they're "going after" their fans when they try to stop them from stealing their music? Wouldn't you want to stop someone who broke into your house and stole your TV? Like I said, I'm not offended, I just don't understand.
