Lars won't confirm Guitar Hero: Metallica (spoiler: it's happening)

im gonna pirate it just so i can delete it

@juju187:
Dang, I wanted to say something just like that!

And it's been 20 years since they produced a great album.

I will always celebrate their groundbreaking contributions to metal history, but I'm not going to forget all the silliness since then.

"And it's been 20 years since they produced a great album."

Oh, snaps.

omg Copa, I can't believe it really has been 20 years since they've made a great album! Time flies =( Hopefully GH Metallica will have a handful of good songs, but something tells me it's going to have more of the newer stuff, which is mostly crap.

baaaaaaah bitch.


j/k

wtf is HMX? You mean MTV?

Did someone say money? I'm totally there!

Why? because he stopped you from getting music for free? Quit your bitching, it's as easy as ever to get music for free on the internet.

Who stopped who from getting free music? Nobody stopped me, that's for sure.

Not back then it wasn`t nor was half the music that they had on Napster for sale at the time like underground electronic mixes from the 90s or foreign music which was its greatest feature. I can;t even find half the things now legally or illicitly that I could find back then. So STFU.

By the time Napster died, there were already dozens of other ways to get free music online. If you couldn't find it, you just weren't paying attention.

You're a jack ass. Every celebrity and pro athlete and everyone else who gets rich off of its consumers, they are all just as bad or tens times as bad as Lars and Metallica have ever been. If you really really want to, you can get any album for free still among other things.
And say what you want, Metallica can still pull of an awesome show and I have a lot of faith in their upcoming album. They're still one of the best bands of all time and their prime beats nearly any band out their today. Very few bands today could get the following the Metallica had and still has. People want to joke about their last couple albums, yet they will still sell out every show they play. And St Anger was a bad album, mainly due to the horrible trash can drums, but the rest have all been pretty damn good.

People act like piracy didn't exist before Napster.

I don`t know what reality Chuck lives in but those guys haven`t brought out a decent album in YEARS. The only reason fans still buy their albums is because they are fans. I do not think Metallica has gained a new audience since the early 90s and all those that attend now are people who live in the past who completely ignore the fact that the last few albums are shit. I used to like them until I realized they no longer stood by their signature sound and instead went for stuff that is listened to by the britney spears generation.

Get the same stuff off napster now?? Have you read my post??!! I CAN NOT get any early 90s true techno sets from 91-94 like the lutton festival that I could back then. I can not get the classic underground DnB albums I could back then and get all this without spyware, without having to worry about people seeding and without going to dodgy torrent sites. Maybe with the shit you listen to you might be able to get however mine doesn't fall under that category.

Napster made the internet popular?

There is a good point in this thread. Napster did provide access to a lot of great bootlegs and rarities that were nearly impossible to find by other means. Unfortunately that was the minority of content on Napster though. Of course it's a moot point now because you can easily get those things by other means, nowadays.

It's the internet. Anyone who wants to make their music accessible can do so incredibly easily. Either with their own website, or via an online music store if they want to make some money off it, or even just uploading it to YouTube or making a torrent on one or several of the thousands of free torrent trackers out there.

That's your opinion. An so far, based on your comments in this thread, your opinion is that of an idiot.

I don't know, Chuck; I will have to agree that their last good album was Master of Puppets 1985; And Justice for All had some good songs, but I wouldn't say I liked the whole album.

Well, like Copa, you're a fucking tool. Yes, I know metal fans (people who predominantly enjoy metal over other genres) don't understand that there is a hell of a lot more music than one stupid, gone-to-hell genre. Load, for the record, is one of their best albums. It came out twelve years ago. And, for those of you that don't actually like Metallica (everyone who stopped listening after any album, even piss-poor St. Anger), ...And Justice for All isn't even the high point to compare anything they've done to, because Master of Puppets beats it at every turn.

It seems that Chuck is an even bigger idiot for even remotely thinking that Metallica is nearly as good as they were 20 years ago. I bet you donated to that website they had back then... what was it http://www.paylars.com/ in 2000 because you felt remotely guilty about the whole Napster thing and wanted to fill his phat pockets with more money. Not a Publicity stunt?? Let me ask you this. Who the fuck knew who Lars Ulrich was before this? I mean the general public to fans of the metal scene or anything. You know who he was? Just a drummer. Who was he after that? The friggin Beginning of why we have DRM in the first place and RIAA suing people for not making the Rich Richer and themselves noticed.

I think Lars was introduced fairly well to the general public from all of their publicity during the Metallica release and subsequent three-and-a-half year tour. It also is highly obvious you don't have a memory for recent history. The entire reason Metallica had a problem with Napster, and it was the WHOLE band, Lars just being the member who represented their interests, was because there was a leak of I Disappear's working demo, which they didn't care for. It was leaked around a month before the official (and greatly improved) single for radio play, and, while they knew that Napster didn't send anybody to steal the demo, the company repeatedly refused to filter the file. As a result, radio stations picked up on the release and aired a subpar song. The refusal to filter was an issue for several artists. Many bands and musicians were actually okay with the service because of the exposure they were granted, Metallica included. Lars himself said, upon leaving the trial, that it was never about the money because he is, to paraphrase all his babbling, "fucking loaded." As for DRM, that was completely the RIAA's idea. Of course, it wasn't about protecting the artists or anything else involving integrity-it was about lining the pockets of the overpaid and musically uneducated fucks who run the business.

lol, exactly what I was thinking

Into the lungs of hell. That would make me shit bricks.

Nothing in Guitar Hero is really that hard; especially since GH3 and onward had super-easymode timing.

"One" and "Raining Blood" aren't hard? I've beaten them both on expert after too many tries, and they were both extremely hard. I don't mind a challenge, but those songs were pretty ridiculous.

master of puppets will be the hardest song to play ever on any guitar simulation game from now until the end of time. of course if and when it ever comes out

Because there is going to be a seperate disc of Metallica songs they won't let you just download? Did you buy Guitar Hero 3 for the Aerosmith pack, too?

What's your definition of relevant? Who is relevant today? Any time Metallica puts out an album or do a tour, they are relevant. Metallica is a rock icon, thus if any rock band gets a GH, they should.
