Metallica wasn’t losing sales due to piracy. They were losing sales because they completely changed their sound and their metalhead base hated it. But instead of owning their change and its impact, they decide to blame pirates.
No one who bought Master Of Puppets was pirating Load…
Fuck it man I’ll eat some downvotes with you. Load was awful. Which happens to most bands that are around a long time. I’m a life long tool fan. 10,000 days was meh and the next one suuuuuuuucked.
The problem with Metallica is that people always say “well don’t they deserve to get paid for their work?” The answer is an obvious yes, and if that’s all that they had been fighting for then who cares. What people who didn’t live through that time or that weren’t paying attention don’t realize is how much damage was caused by the companies that used people like Metallica and Dr Dre to gain support.
All those “you wouldn’t download a car” videos were part of the same propaganda as Metallica. Honestly, I’d like to think that the RIAA tricked Metallica into championing their cause, but I know better. But yeah, when you see “you wouldn’t download a car”. Just remember that’s team Metallica.
