Metallica Sues Napster for the 67500billion..th Time!




















Darn Metallica! When will they leave Napster alone?
Or when will the Napster cat finally come out of the bag and admit piracy to be unjust and immoral? It seems the two music giants have been entrenched in this on-going battle ever since Napster started operating back in 2000. Tensions had calmed just a bit since 2006 after Napster appeased to Metallica by agreeing to actually sell their music online and give a major share of profits to the band.

But this week, It appears Metallica has had just about enough of Napster, again..., as they have filed a lawsuit against the company for allowing its users to download and share copyrighted songs without paying reports. The most irritated member from the band, Lars Ulrich, has been speaking out most about this for he is known by Fans as the biggest "Napster-Basher" Alive!

But as much of an asshole he might be perceived as for being a rich bastard and still wanting his one dollar a song for "Enter Sandman" , it is only justified of him to take such an emotional and persistent stand on the issue. Speaking about the lawsuit in a press release, drummer Lars Ulrich says, "With each project, we go through a grueling creative process to achieve music that we feel is representative of Metallica at that very moment in our lives."

Metallica standing up to Napster and refusing to let their music be available through its service will likely open up the doors for other artists to do the same and could very well mean the end of music piracy as we know it. In the end, this could all wrap-up either very well or entirely disappointing, depends what your stand is on the free-share of music.

In more positive News, Metallica is coming this October!!! It is going to be packed so I Recommend you try to get pre-sale tickets while they're still available. Wooooot!!! This is gonna be sick!!!

Rock Renaissance???

Where have they been all these years? It just seemed like they were about to fade away only for the older generation to remember when legendary bands like Metallica, G'n'R, and AC/DC decided to make a stunning comeback with outstanding fresh new hits, worldwide tours, and record sales!
It seemed as if the rise of democracy in China was more realistic than the release of the album, but after 14 years of delays, Guns'n'Roses 's long awaited Album "Chinese Democracy" had finaly been released last month after singer Axl Rose settled many financial disputes entangled within the album itself. Die-Hard G'n'R fans across the globe rejoiced. It could have been a lot worse, but many argue that the timing of the release was right. Just in its first two weeks, the first single, "Chinese democracy" hit number nine in hard rock radio. It looks like its gonna sell for a long time.
Other new albums like AC/DC's "Black Ice" sold more than 1 million copies in two weeks, and Metallica's "Death Magnetic" has moved more than 1.25 million copies since it came out 2 months ago. Hopefully, more bands decide to follow with already expected upcoming albums from U2, Tool, and Franz Ferdinand!
