Metallica were just a bunch of tone deaf (speech) poster boys for the RIAA.
Napster was too big and too bold. They let themselves become synonymous with pirated music. There’s no way capitalism would let that alone. If it wasn’t Metallica, it would have to have been someone else.
On the upside, the Case was between Reload and St. Anger; their sales dropped by half and never recovered.
you don’t have to clarify that. You really have to be a ham fisted fucking idiot to do the things compositionally that metallica does with the music they have to hand. Master of puppets should have made a recurring theme of the chromatic (ish) intro, and they throw it away, they bash away at the same shitty, caveman riff for eight fucking minutes. And Justice for all has a great intro, and it gradually degrades until basically nothing is left.
Every single artist did it to Napster, Metallica were just the front men. Tbf Napster wasnt going to survive legally, and if it had remained popular they would have gone to shit with some sort of payment system
Not even in the slightest. Metallica went far above and beyond everyone else hunting down little old ladies to sue.
99% of bands didn’t make money from album sales, which is what makes all the hand wrangling over Spotify funny. Musicians idolise a world that never really existed.
cool, but Metallica still sucks for what they did to napster.

check out this song that uses a theme similar to master of puppets for a better way to use a similar musical idea https://youtu.be/FoGoEQ8DUDo?list=RDFoGoEQ8DUDo&t=18
Remind me of S3M’s back in the 90’s
