Jake McGee and metallica

This is from a press conference at the 2004 Sundance Film Festival. FYI, Shawn Fanning is the founder of Napster, and metallica sued him for a zillion dollars, flying off the handle and attacking a hard-core fan of the group. I took it personally. Notice how pissed off Kirt Hammett gets as they sit in awesome silence.

The only reason metallica is the band they are is because they grew a loyal fanbase from TAPE-TRADING. then to go and say that you shouldnt share music is blatantly hippocritical and just shows the progressive greed that surrounds this band.

@youbetzler Yeah it's sad all the wasted potential.

[youbetzler]

@atp7797 yeah but back then bands the smaller bands you referred to never made anything, they spent a few years playing local gigs never getting any serious exposure and eventually dispanded and the members had to get jobs.

[atp7797]

@youbetzler I never thought of it like that but hell metallica got huge without youtube.

[youbetzler]

@atp7797 so was i, like i was saying the smaller bands barely lose out. 90% of people who can afford to buy music still do it either by getting the albums or buying songs individually from itunes or other online stores. If anything These websites increase exposure of smaller bands and increase their fan base which translates to higher ticket sales and album sales.

@youbetzler I am talking about small bands that aren't big. I do think it was selfish of lars ulrich to do that but i understand why he did it.

@atp7797 Most people that can afford to buy the music still do. The "loss" these guys experience is minimal, the only think companies like napster limewire and youtube do is make the music available to those who can't be spending money on albums and songs
