I believe back then they thought suing Napster was the best possible course of action. I don't really mind them doing so and can understand their motives. These days 90% of MP3 files are shared on torrents and can be downloaded for free, which is not really good for small bands wanting to earn some money off their work.

That's one place my collection hasn't stretched out into... early metallica - I really should check some of their early stuff out, considering everyone most definitely regards their earliest stuff their heyday...

There is a difference between fanbase and musicians. Fanbase 'rejuvenates' itself, new kids start listening to the old stuff and expect all of the albums to sound the same. Musicians don't. They age and with maturity they tend to look for different styles..and guess what, if it happens to a rock/metal band, they'll get critisized, called sellouts/washouts etc..

Same could be said about St. Anger. Some people like the raw sound some people were like, wtf? I don't think you can keep all of your fanbase unless you're not willing to take any chances and play it safe and even that doesn't guarantee a success. |
i like Metallica allot and the fact that they sewed Napster dose not affect me in anyway shape or form i don't care about that all i car about is the music and how good it is.

I perosnally wasn'tr a big fan of Metallica but St. Anger was the first of their albums I paid attention to in a big way - I liked the whole rpemise of the albums lyrical concepts, and the new sound was raw and refreshing in my opinion... and for some reason I have a deep and affecting love of albums that piss off a band's die hard fanbase.... i dunno what it is... I guess I am just a bastard underneath it all.... hahahahahaha
