No Rock And Roll Fun

HAIL THE ENEMY OF THE MUSIC FAN: If someone sidled up to you and suggested you sign up for a tribute to Metallica, you might want to think about it for a moment and ask why? If you're pro-Peer to Peer file sharing, they're the band who forced the closure of Napster and basically told their own fans to fuck off if they wanted to share their music. If you're against P2P, then they're the band who provided the whole concept of using MP3 files and computers to get hold of free music with billions of pounds worth of unpaid publicity - it was their railing against the then small Napster that turned it, and its antecedents, into the phenomena that they are today. In short, probably only a moron would want to slap the band on the back and praise them. Naturally, Avril Lavigne is on board already.
