R.I.P. Metallica Some quotes from their last Playboy interview:
James Hetfield: “[Metallica fans sided with Napster] Because they’re lazy bastards and they want everything for free. I like playing music because it’s a good living and I get satisfaction from it. But I can’t feed my family with satisfaction.
…I’ve gotten in plenty of arguments with fans who just wanted to ‘discuss’ it. This poor girl in Atlanta, I made her cry. She felt money was evil. Why don’t you go live in Canada or some socialist country?”
Lars Ulrich: “If you’d stop being a Metallica fan because I won’t give you my music for free, then fuck you. I don’t want you to be a Metallica fan.”

Courtney Love is taking the recording industry to task – Love is suing her record label, Vivendi Universal, to release her from her contract and to expose what she calls the “unconscionable and unlawful” business practices of the major labels. “I could end up being the music industry’s worst nightmare: a smart gal with a fat bank account who is unafraid to go down in flames fighting for a principle.” I certainly hope she is successful. It’s possible that if she wins in this, it could radically redefine the nature of the music business – a change that is desperately needed.
I know it’s only Thursday… but I definitely think it’s time for a Friday Shakedown!
