After the Master of Puppets album, and the death of Cliff Burton (1986) many saw the decline in the groups artistic abilities. As far as I am concerned, this "new online venture" is just a ploy to jump on the bandwagon they previously abhored and follow the lead of Raidiohead and then NIN. Lars was a greedy bastard who was misinformed and thus pointed his misguided ignorance at Napster. I lost all respect for the band over the Napster debacle, and really felt that post Cliff Burton and the Master of Puppets album, the band has lost their way and tail spun into producing noise and no substance. I was a fan from the beginning at Kill'em All. But now, they are just a bunch of losers. I wouldn't waste my time to even download just one of their new songs if for free. There are just to many talented bands who have held their own over time. Example: Rush with 18 full length albums in their catalog. And every one is of quality. And their live shows do not have a front band. They recently played here in Austin from 7:30pm opening to almost 11:45pm, with two breaks. Now thats a true band. Metallica is just crap.
