Seriuosly! I was a big time Metallica fan since 1984, Kill Em All is still one of my alltime favorite records. I must have saw them a bunch of times. I drifted away after the Enter Sandman period and their MTV fame. When I saw them again it was whining about Napster and I was floored. Here was a band that became hugely popular with little or no radio play. We used to hang out, baked out of our minds, in McDonalds parking lots every Saturday at midnight just to hear Metalzone on 99.1 WPLR in CT. Metallica, Merciful Fatte, Maiden, Anthrax etc. We used to make copies on tapes of all our buddies records and then copies of the copies for other friends, and now there on TV whining about loss of sales???? I lost all respect. Like many rock stars, they forgot their roots. Basswipe is dead on!
