Hey, remember when Metallica weren't a bunch of douchebags?

Yeah, me neither.

I just came in this thread for the "kick this ass for a man" quote. Well done, Kyosuke.

Carry on.

Wow, 400 whole autographs. Don't sprain your wrists....

Most independent shops aren't the size of a Virgin store or whatever you find in the mall. 400 people is quite a large amount given the possible size of the venue.

Take your 'tallica hate elsewhere!

/Likes Metallica
//Great live band
///Likes other Metal as well
////Obligatory "My bands are better than your bands"

Man, those guys were great. Why haven't they made an album since the 80's?

/Plugs ears
//lalalalalalalala

 
deevo 2008-03-17 07:28:44 PM  
Wow, a band obsolete to metal in a business obsolete to music, providing the kind of human contact that will never go out of style.

 
Propain_az 2008-03-17 07:29:58 PM  
Megadeth is better.

 
msw-mojo 2008-03-17 08:24:13 PM  
In other news, Metallica members are still alive.

 
MetalGator 2008-03-17 08:25:46 PM  
I guess 4/19 is Record Store Day so you can go replace that copy of Dark Side of the Moon you lost and have it for 4/20

 
shadowself 2008-03-17 08:51:07 PM  
I have not been to a record store in years, and here is another reason not to go.

 
hbk72777 2008-03-17 10:48:56 PM  
My local record store got busted selling bootlegs 10 years ago, and shut down. Sorry RIAA, I tried to support them like you asked.

 
Peacedog 2008-03-17 11:26:07 PM  
Hey Nightowl,

OKC here also. First thing I thought of too.

 
Everfearful 2008-03-18 12:12:42 AM  
Speaking on their official website Metallica.com the band said: "Come on down to the store, say 'Hi,' bring some stuff for us to sign your computers so we can scan them for mp3s you may or may not have ripped from your legit CDs or bought online and then sue you, and in the spirit of supporting your local independent record store maybe you'll want to do a little shopping while you're there."

Propain_az: Megadeth is better.

This.

They got a bit stupid around Risk. Dave took his head out of his butt around The World Needs a Hero - The System Has Failed and United Abominations kick ass.

Just about everything Metalica has done after Load has sucked - except for about half of S&M.

St. Anger is pretty much shiat. I can't listen to it.

Yeah, a lot better at..... can't really think of anything

agreed.

All bands, including your favorite band, are sellout poser douchebags by the time anyone knows who they are.

/Fixed everything for you.

I still love going to record stores. Looking on the shelves you can find some real gems that you weren't expecting to find. Building my music collection is something in which I still take great satisfaction. BTW...Megadeth is currently better than Metallica, but these guys own both of them:
