sorry for double post.

mate, st anger is a pile of absolute horse crap and metallica have done little to nothing worth mentioning in well over 15 years. what does it matter whether they are classified as 'alternative' or 'thrash'? thrash metal is essentially a type of alternative music. in that, it's not something you ever particularly heard in the top 10 of the billboard 100, ja? (possible exceptions may apply). and as for why they sued napster, im pretty sure it was not for quite so altruistic purposes as simply trying to make sure indie bands weren't screwed (who the hell would be so naive as to believe THAT???). i think it's probably something rather closer to the reasons prince had for sueing youtube.
