METAL 0 Posted March 5, 2004 Share Posted March 5, 2004 Hey, look what Metallica are doing with their tour: http://www.livemetallica.com/ Great idea. Link to post Share on other sites
danz 0 Posted March 5, 2004 Share Posted March 5, 2004 good idea indeed...except its not theirs... phish has been doing that for almost 2years now... soundboard patches...lossless and lossy formats...recent and archived shows too... www.livephish.com danz Link to post Share on other sites
METAL 0 Posted March 5, 2004 Author Share Posted March 5, 2004 I don't care WHO had the idea in the first place. I don't think I'll bother with the Phish link Link to post Share on other sites
Plucky 0 Posted March 5, 2004 Share Posted March 5, 2004 Metallica blows, or at least they do now. Thanks for single-handedly killing the underground file sharing networks you fooking kooks. What, not making enough money as it is? I guess playing with orchestras will lose you a few core fans. PS - it is a cool idea, but 10 bucks for each download? It probably costs more to run snow japan than what they are doing and we get all SJ has to offer for free. (don't go getting any ideas SJ ) Link to post Share on other sites
Ocean11 0 Posted March 5, 2004 Share Posted March 5, 2004 I went to a bar the other day where they were showing a big video of Metallica playing their shit with an orchestra - what a stale old stunt that is. It was, predictably, a dreadful noise and boring as hell. Link to post Share on other sites
METAL 0 Posted March 5, 2004 Author Share Posted March 5, 2004 S&M was excellent. Link to post Share on other sites
lemonhead 0 Posted March 5, 2004 Share Posted March 5, 2004 My favorite Metallica album, S&M - really liked it. Stale old stunt?? Even if it were "stale" (how many other rock band do that, and on such a scale), what's the problem with it? Link to post Share on other sites
BigSausage 0 Posted March 5, 2004 Share Posted March 5, 2004 Don't they have the right to protest when people are copying their output and not paying for it?? Sheesh. Link to post Share on other sites
NoFakie 45 Posted March 5, 2004 Share Posted March 5, 2004 I thought Metallica were past it 10 years ago. Orchestras with rock bands? No thanks. I'm not so into the Dead, Phish, DMB etc, but at least they get full marks for fan service. As for the downloading thing, lots of people are happily paying for downloads now they have the option. The RIAA had to lose a large price- fixing law suit for CD prices to come down in the US, so you know where they can stick their opinion about what customers want and how much money bands are supposedly "losing".

scouser 4 Posted March 6, 2004 Share Posted March 6, 2004 If it were cheaper than that, it'd be a really good idea (if you were a Metallica fan of course). Link to post Share on other sites
Dims 0 Posted March 6, 2004 Share Posted March 6, 2004 Metallica basically died with Cliff Burton in my book. My favorite album, Master of Puppets. Here's a great quote from Ian Mcfaye, Owner of Discord records, and member of seminal DC band Fugazi, "When people who are songwriters say 'That's my property and if you give it away for free then I'll lose my incentive,' then, well, good riddance." He argues that artist should do it for the art, for the joy of making good music, and the OVERALL motivation should not be to make lots of money. www.downhillbattle.org It's all on MrSparkle's blog, http://octopusdropkick.blogspot.com/ Have a look, it's great!

mina2 6 Posted March 6, 2004 Share Posted March 6, 2004 I prefer more recent Metallica to the earlier stuff (not counting the latest which is a really poor effort) Link to post Share on other sites
Dims 0 Posted March 6, 2004 Share Posted March 6, 2004 Bit of a vague comment there Big Sausage, what are you referring to? Not Master of Puppets I hope Link to post Share on other sites
IP 0 Posted March 7, 2004 Share Posted March 7, 2004 Most probably this part, the part about artists "doing it for their art" Quote: He argues that artist should do it for the art, for the joy of making good music, and the OVERALL motivation should not be to make lots of money.

DumbStick 13 Posted March 12, 2004 Share Posted March 12, 2004 I suppose some fans will be happy, but Metallica will be the ones laughing if many people part with their cash for this. Link to post Share on other sites
METAL 0 Posted March 16, 2004 Author Share Posted March 16, 2004 The idea of an orchestra with Metallica sounded bad to me at first - but I love that album. It's real good. Link to post Share on other sites
