Metallica: Guitar heroes

I read an article recently, packed to the brim with negative comments about Metallica, regarding their smashing of Napster in 2000.

The reason for the sudden revival of anti-Metallica sentiment among the Mp3 nerds is the confirmed rumour of a Metallica version of the Guitar Hero game set for upcoming release. Now, personally I think it is absolutely embarrassing that any heavy metal band have its name associated with such a lame concept as Guitar hero, but hey Metallica is only doing what they've always done. Whatever is best for Metallica.

As for the pathetic kids still harassing Metallica over the Napster/Metallica confrontation... Get over it losers. Metallica was merely protecting their own best interests. If you could afford a PC and Internet connection in 2000 you could damned well afford to go out and buy an original version of whichever album of theirs you wanted.

When you downloaded their songs from Napster because you were too cheap to go and buy their albums you were admitting two things:

1.You weren't a real fan of Metallica since you didn't respect the bands efforts enough to spend money on them.
2.You were willing to take the risks that come with breaking the law, which you knew you were doing.

The fault is your own... Don't blame Metallica for your selfish short-sightedness. Just because all these other big bands are too scared of public backlash to take action against the thieves that are subverting their hard work doesn't mean Metallica should capitulate in the same pathetc manner.

That said, damn you Metallica for joining the legion of “corporate rock whores” and shaming heavy metal by adding your name to this Guitar Hero shit!!
