I am old enough to remember when Metallica was a garage band and wasn't radio friendly.

The first time I ever heard them was a live bootleg and I remember Hetfield asking the crowd who was hearing them for the first time "loud cheering" then asking who was recording it for a bootleg "loud cheering and screaming" then he said

you better fucking share that shit with your friends!

I will never forgive them for what they did to Napster.

Money fucks with people's brains.

Legitimately! Early Metallica was all about liberatory politics. Then it turned into center-right american politics. The kinds of dudes who really have hard-ons for how great the status quo is.

Life would be so boring without pirates.

There would definitely be a lot more art permanently lost.

I would download a car

[-] leftzero@lemmynsfw.com 6 points 2 years ago

I don't even drive a car, but I'd still download one out of principle (wouldn't actually print it, though, waste of resources if I'm not going to use it).

...but will it fit on a 90 minute cassette tape?

[-] ChaoticNeutralCzech@feddit.org 12 points 2 years ago

How did they fail at drawing a casette... in the age of casettes?

It's meant to look like the jolly roger.

I know but human skulls have foreheads.

face proportions human skull drawing

The official logo is realistic and it still works as a Jolly Roger. Even better, arguably.

the first time i got a dual cassette deck was mind blowing

[-] Bishma@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 2 years ago

I was the first kid in middle school to have a portable dual tape deck stereo and was suddenly much more popular.

I don't know if I was actually a GNR fan or if I just heard Appetite for Destruction so many times that I assumed I was a fan.

I tried so hard but they lived anyway.

That's okay. Countless musicians lost their jobs with talkies and the rise of recording.

ETA I'd rather see recording industry moguls lose their job from obsolescence than actual musicians.

I help the record industry -> the record industry is my friend
That's how this works, right? RIGHT?
