Metallica is fearful that album sales could decline if their fans were able to simply walk into any Gamestop or Best Buy and purchase an $80 video game that contained one of their songs.

I can't stop laughing at it.

Edit: i'll admit I got fooled. why? cause i've been so out of it lately for multiple reason.

This HAS to be a joke... I mean come on, have fucking stupid do metallica have to be.

Keg

Yep fake... still funny

Lord McMutton

Eighty dollars for a video game?

bounchfx

pretty sure this is fake as hell heh. still makes me not like them.



@ marshal - where you been?

halo legendary is 130

to be fair though "Gears of War" by megadeth (also in the game) sucked balls, and made me avoid their latest album, until i'd heard "Sleepwalker" and then i was all over it like herpes on a teen slut.

ElysiumGX

i like the Gears of War song
but, yeah Sleepwalker is best.
what band was this thread about?

Emil Mujanovic

What band is this thread about you ask?
Quoted from the article, which I believe is a great description of the band.

[ QUOTE ]
Metallica, for anyone who wasn't in junior high or high school between 1992-2000, was a heavy metal band that gained widespread popularity and critical acclaim in the early and mid-90s. The band infamously blamed file-sharing programs, which were quickly rising in popularity at the exact same time that Metallica was quickly disappearing from the mainstream consciousness, for the decline in their records, believing that it was Napster, not their own douchebaggery, that stopped fans from buying their albums.

perhaps i should put sarcasm tags on every joke i make. I own every metallica album, and some on cassette. but dave mustaine has filled the void they've left for me.

Emil Mujanovic

I figured you were being sarcastic... I just wanted a reason to quote that description. It's classic!

Maybe if they stopped making music that sounds like complete ASS, they'd sell more???
I lost all my respect for metallica pretty much from Napster onwards, ofcourse that isn't the reason.. It just happily coincides with when they plummetted into the land of lame.

I still treasure the good stuff tho ofcourse, but I can't see metallica ever makin good music again.

Asmuel

What a shit decision. If anything it would get people interest in Metallica who don't like their newer stuff, or hadn't heard them before. One on guitar hero would have been kickass.

Edit: even with FAKE all over this thread I still believed it for long enough to make a serious reply. What a dumbass

ElysiumGX

Master of Puppets on GH would be awesome. Yeah, that quote is a fairly accurate description of them.
