They don't use their studios to their full advantage, and instead rely on rehashing the same IPs again and again or driving other ones into the ground. Yeah, they had War of Cybertron or whatever it was, but they don't really add anything to the gaming market beyond sequels and, well, utter tripe.
Yeah, geez guys. You do realize that no-one forces you to play COD or listen to Metallica, so no need to get angry.....TheRightToArmBears said:
... I mean its not like its U2 playing, then that would really piss me off!!
I disagree, they were losing millions of dollars, and so were other artists. Metallica was the first group that actually had the balls to do something about it. They won the lawsuit because what Napster was doing was completely illegal. If you spent 20 years clawing your way from the bottom of the barrel to the band with the 7th most albums sold of all time, you'd be pretty pissed too if millions of people started getting all of your life's work for free.tkioz said:
Yes they are quite decent guys hence the crap-load of charity concerts they do, the media just made them look like dicks because they didn't want to see 20 years of their life's work flushed down the toilet because now they can get it for free. That would piss off anybody else just as much.Sh0ckFyre said:
Haha, I have a feeling those two are the ones they are going to be rocking last and hardest, despite their unglorifying-of-war stance. (yes there's a better word for it but I'm kinda exhausted)SODAssault said:
Couldn't agree more. Death Magnetic was awesome and they were awesome in a concert I saw last year too. I'm on the Metallica mailing list and they are merchandise whores but their music is still awesome. They were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame last year for God's sake. They had three bad albums between The Black Album and Death Magnetic and even Load and Reload had a couple of good songs each (St.Anger was complete crap). There isn't a bad in history that never made a bad album. They tried some new things, it didn't work so they went back to their tried and true formula. It's called mixing things up. It's certainly better than doing the same old thing and having every album sound the same, which many many bands are accused of. The FACT is that Metallica are legends whether you personally like them or not.Chapper said:
