Metallica the band beats Metallica the Management
June 12, 2008
Aha! So in case you miss it on the comments below, Rachel at Drowned in Sound posted a link to Metallica’s response to their management pulling the blogger reviews. In a nutshell, they said they would not have done that, and the reviews are now posted on their own website. All’s well that ends well. Thanks Rachel!

Just want to add a follow up: On the blog muchmusic.com, they have an article entitled, 10 Ways Musicians Piss Off Their Fans. The finale is this: “Be Metallica” followed by this beauty of an explanation: “If there’s one thing Metallica knows how to do really well, it’s raising the ire of their fans and of music lovers everywhere. Metallica is considered to be mostly responsible for the shutdown of the beloved Napster, and in fact printed out a 60,000 page document of all users sharing their songs. Lars Ulrich became the spokesperson for the RIAA, and frankly, annoyed the crap out of people everywhere. Metallica now plans to sell some of their music on the internet, but it’s not really receiving a very positive response as people have long memories. When it came down to MP3s or Metallica, most people chose MP3s, and they haven’t forgotten that it was Metallica that made them make that choice.”
