As amazing as they get, something about this band has been bothering me recently. As soon as they announced that they weren't going to play many of their old hits, I was kind of disillusioned. I mean, sure it's hard to top their past incredible hit singles like "Dream On", Sweet Emotion" and "Walk This Way", but that isn't the main problem. The real question is that if they're not going to play any of their past material, what is there left for them to play? Seriously, are there any sensational new songs by Aerosmith? Do you think Aersomith is more of a tribute band today or a band to be taken seriously for their new material at this point in its lifetime? I want to hear your comments.

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!!!

Iron Maiden Fans Cause One of Their Biggest Mayhems Yet in Colombia!

It all started in the Colombian capitol city of Bogotá, where over 100 Iron Maiden Fans were arrested before the concert as riots broke out.
Ticket-less fans started attacking police, throwing rocks and damaging public property, when finally tear-gas was used by authorities.
40 of the fans arrested still remain in custody. Reports state that the riots broke out after a group of malcontents wanted to enter the show without tickets. Local authorities are set to debate whether heavy metal acts should be allowed to take place in the country in the future, although it wasn't the first time this type of event has happened there, or even in nearby countries because of a Metal band's show-up.
