So I’ll be that guy: the recording industry “destroyed” napster. Not some band. And let’s be clear here- this was just the next battle in the corporate war that existed as long as recording devices have. It wasn’t new, novel, or even the end of music sharing. In fact thanks to the Streisand effect and some extremely bad press filesharing got a boost.
Yeah… there were a number of bands that acted as the face of that campaign - Metallica being one of them. I’m not sure if you know how the recording industry works but if your label says jump: you did. They were no exception. Let’s not pretend that most labels weren’t financially motivated to mislead their artists, either.
If you don’t like the band: cool bro. But I gotta tell you statements like that make you come off as some stupid, uninformed, hipster cunt.
It’s mainly that Metallica led the charge instead of letting the RIAA do their thing. Then they threatened the 300,000 fans that downloaded music. Luckily, the legal system didn’t let them go that far. But not before Metallica doxxed a fuckton of people.
okay so
So they shouldn’t be celebrated? Cool sounds, yeah. Shit corporate band. Least metal band of all time in action.

they shouldnt be celebrated because… i dont even remember why you said so 😂
please tell me, are you a fan at all of led zeppelin?
Did Led Zeppelin destroy Napster? But to answer your question, no.
led zeppelin had sexual relationships with minors
but youre right, destroying napster is far worse than that
Well I did say I don’t support them either. But I didn’t know this, so I’ll continue not to support them. I think it’s the right thing to do.
