Metallica: “Don’t review our music”

Here’s the scenario: internationally known heavy metal band with long history in the business invites music critics in London to listen to six tracks off the band’s forthcoming album. Those critics then write reviews based on what they’ve heard. Despite the total lack of any non-disclosure agreements and the fact that the band must have known what it was doing, its management then contacted the blogs in question and asked them to take down the reviews.

In the days of Napster, Metallica had kicked its fans. 30,000 Metallica fans were blocked on Napster for sharing their songs

    PUBLICITY!

    LOAD sucked!

    Then there was the make-up-for-it album “Re-LOAD”, which sucked even more.

    St. Anger…? No one bothered to listen to it, except for maybe 12 year olds who needed a bit more of a kick than Spice Girls and Elton John

    Agreed Silent_man, it happens when you change the genre with which your fans love you. Load & Re-Load were a real sucks! I wish they make up themselves and come out with fine-tunned “Ride the Lightning’ etc. whew.
