Metallica names new album, gets in another Internet fight

If you or anyone else believes Metallica has ever hated the internet, you need to do a little research and learn before you post. Very ignorant statement.

They certainly never loved the internet.

love in a physical sense, between a man and his computer.

They certainly never loved the internet ?????
Man,......just look at their page for last 5 years,............no one else has so much stuff out there........................please people get over the napster thing,....it's a little bit out to date,......i think people who don't get this are actually stucked in that moment (pitty for them,...to live 5 or more years back in the time)....
Cheers

Metallica took on Napster, not because it was a web / internet program...they took on Napster because an unfinished version of "I Disappear" was stolen and released. An unfinished version of their song was being played on the radio! That would piss any artist off. Metallica have always let you go to their show, make a bootleg, and share as much as you want. That's how they made it so I don't think they care if you share their music. But when you are working on three versions of a recorded song and a version that you didn't say "this is the final cut" is being played on the radio?? SCREW THAT!

I agree with the guy above, I would be mad if someone released my song before it was finished. Also, the horrible production on St. Anger was helping describe how they felt at that time. They felt angry and crazy and that's exactly how the music sounded. It all makes sense, so grow up Metallica haters.

I hate the Internet too.

I'll be counting down the days until September now.

I hope this album leaks on all over the internet. Wouldn't that sweet justice all over again?

This discussion would be relevant if Metallica were still any good. However...

Gotta hate it when someone does a news post like this and has no idea what they are talking about. The bands site has been far above any other band site i have ever seen. And yes, stfu about napster jesus. Its been soo long now and it was justified at the time anyway.

it's awesome how one throwaway line on a blog post brought a bunch of angry metal nerds out of the woodwork

whos metallica?

My grampa used to listen to Metallica.

TO SPITE WHAT ANYBODY THINKS ABOUT METALLICA THE TRUTH IS THAT THEY ARE STILL THE BIGGEST ROCK BAND IN THE WORLD AND THE MOST SUCCESFUL AND THE RICHEST. THEY HAVE BROKEN MANY BOUNDARIES AND SMASHED DOWN WALLS AND EVOLVE DAILY WITH TECHNOLOGY.
MY GRANDPA LISTENED TO METALLICA ALSO AND MY GRANDKIDS WILL LISTEN TO METALLICA ALSO
ROCK DA FUCK ON AND PEACE OUT MOTHERFUCKERS

Metallica blows dogs for quarters the best thing they have done in years is not release any thing new but I guess that was bound to end sooner or later

To hell with them!!! If they can not appreciate true brilliance then well what the @#$% can one do! You do what you do best Metallica and ROCK ON, you're beyond the comprehension of man. Therefore leave it to those who can and will do.

I saw METALLICA in 92 with GNR in JERSEY and it was awsome.. in the 80's all us real metal heads loved metallica and we did not need them on the radio or on MTV, they were underground and their music was pure unadulterated metal. As for grandpa listeing to metallica i doubt it.. we use to mosh to metalllica and hopefully this album will bring them back to their roots.. METAL. interne!>? well its a necesity now a days and metallica never minded metals heads to share their music.. i still have the bootlegs form the DAVE mustaine days which use to be sold in 83 from person to person..so metallica has alwasy been 4 the people ... peace to alll.

I don't know why anyone would go onto a website of a band they don't even like or give a crap about and start talking smack. Get over yourself. Metallica is the greatest metal band ever. One of the best bands ever....for that matter. So all you metallihaters.....*&$% off and get off the site. As for the rest of us...Your faithful fans will never stray.....
P.S. My grandpa didn't have a clue who Metallica is but I can GUARANTEE my grandkids will be well educated. Rock On.

hey all,,i just wan to say that no 1 admit that metallica is not good,,cuz they r awsum n they rock

NAPSTER of Puppets, I'm pulling your strings...

i got over metallica in jr high. I started hating them around napster. I dont understand why they are even considered relevant any more.

oh, you metal junkies... get a life, get a girlfriend, and stop going to those damn republican conventions.... oh, and by the way budwiser is not the king of beers, and rape is not the way your supposed to 'get a girlfriend'... so your woodstock conquest doesnt count.

Well, if Metallica's fans are any indication, they've certainly picked up on the band's anger/bitterness theme.

They are also apparently lacking anything resembling a sense of humor. Reminds me of Sean Astin's character in 50 First Dates. "Note the intense overreaciton. That's the 'roids talking."

AND WHY R U METTALLICA HATERS HERE ANYWAYS GET THE *&!$ OUT METTALLICA IS AWESOME AND I DONT GET Y SOME PEOPLE DONT LIKE ST. ANGER I THOUGHT IT WAS AWESOME I THINK ALL THERE ALBUMS KICK @$$

yeah.. thanks for post
