While Im no die hard Metallica fan, I like there older stuff a lot better than St Anger. Its alright, but I'd rather hear the heavy, melodic stuff with guitar solos than seven minute speed metal anthems.
And since its against the laws of nature to talk about Metallica without mentioning Naptser, lets point out something; When you download music, you not just ripping the band off. Know how much a performer gets from a CD? Under $2.00. Your ripping off everyone involved in making that CD, the producer, the promoters, the engineers, the record labels, who make the music available to you anyway. Next time you hear someone say downloading music isn't a big deal, just ask then, "Would you work for free?"
