Cliff was great. And Lars kinda sucks. But
Lars accidentally invented speed thrash metal so
Give Lars a break man.
Edit: canonically, Lars was a mediocre drummer with a ton of common bad drummer habits. Notably he sped up a lot when he was excited or nervous. Metallica, being a bunch of insecure alpha male bros refused to complain that it was too fast out of fear they’d be seen as ninnies by the others so they just went with it. Speed metal was born. Thrash metal. Whatever you wanna call it. It’s a fun story.
Every drummer I know thinks Lars sucks. But Lars has influenced every drummer I know more than they realize.
No they stole the sound from Anvil like literally every other band of the day.
Lars did what now?
Apparently OP has never heard Motorhead or any of the NWOBHM bands.
Good to know Lars is still a piece of shit and Metallica isn’t worth listening to.
Doooon’t downloaaaaad this soooooong…
Oooh, yeah-haya!
And why shouldn’t the artist have a say in how their music is used?
I’m not arguing that. They should. I know if I had music being used by trump to support his campaign I’d have some personal opposition to it. Lars is a special kind of asshole that I lost all respect for years ago so maybe I’m overly critical of him.
All that said, the military using a song in a training video is such a stupid thing to get worked up over. It’s basically bitching about a fair use case, because it’s not any kind of external promotion of the military. Just an internal video. Which is really an on brand example for Lars’ special kind of cuntiness.
What a strange time to be alive.
Crazy world we live in
Can we go back to 2018?
Fuck 2018, take me to 2026 when the year of the Linux desktop empowers us to run
sudo impeach nowEvery year in history is the year of the Linux desktop the only year except for the current year.
TBH I really want to believe we can remove all 20 Republicans up for election and lose no ground to them in the midterms, which is the minimum we would need to reach the 67 impeachment and removal requirement.
But I kind of don’t believe it, largely because people are treating the DNC as if they’re the ones gutting medicaid and climate science.
Nobody is saying that, it’s just a straw man in your head. We criticize the dems for being anti-worker, pro-billionaire, and pro-war crime.
Right, thats what I mean, you ignore the policies of the DNC and pretend it’s the policies of Republicans.
Sudo gives root privileges: https://linux.die.net/man/8/sudo
So just a different dictatorship, basically.
No, that’s
su,sudois bounded by the command that calls it.
Clearly everybody’s memory is fucking shit because the same dictator was in charge in 2018.
Had the wrong ideas, but also a lack of competence to follow through as well. Also the global scenario wasn’t quite as grim.
The best outcome would have been no Trump terms at all, and failing that just a single term. But if we had to have two Trump terms I think we would have been better off having them consecutive instead of breaking it up. Because of his loss and then eventual win:
- His sore loser syndrome kicked in hard and made him more actively want to undermine democracy itself.
- His tangle with the justice system also had him undermining the justice system.
- It gave the Project2025 assholes a whole 4 years to scheme how to leverage a Trump win, and now we have a pure PJ2025 administration.
- It distanced moderate republican leadership who assumed Trump was done, leaving Trump only with the worst of the MAGA sticking by him at the top.
His first term was moderated because he somewhat abided traditional input and his administration was a mix. He did a lot of the same wrong things generally but failed enough to significantly mitigate the harm. His anti-immigrant rhetoric was real, but also he didn’t care enough to actually follow through as hard as his administration has this time around.
Though I do agree, I wasn’t exactly excited about 2018.
cool, but Metallica still sucks for what they did to napster.
Metallica were just a bunch of tone deaf (speech) poster boys for the RIAA.
Napster was too big and too bold. They let themselves become synonymous with pirated music. There’s no way capitalism would let that alone. If it wasn’t Metallica, it would have to have been someone else.
On the upside, the Case was between Reload and St. Anger; their sales dropped by half and never recovered.
Metallica were just a bunch of tone deaf (speech)
you don’t have to clarify that. You really have to be a ham fisted fucking idiot to do the things compositionally that metallica does with the music they have to hand. Master of puppets should have made a recurring theme of the chromatic (ish) intro, and they throw it away, they bash away at the same shitty, caveman riff for eight fucking minutes. And Justice for all has a great intro, and it gradually degrades until basically nothing is left.
check out this song that uses a theme similar to master of puppets for a better way to use a similar musical idea https://youtu.be/FoGoEQ8DUDo?list=RDFoGoEQ8DUDo&t=18
a similar musical idea
Remind me of S3M’s back in the 90’s
s3m?
Scream Tracker https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hRznLXhu4pg&list=PLuprJ3W2ahOXgaIkH_Pf4De4JSFz6wo9l
This particular collection isn’t exactly like the track, but the tracker sound feels about right for it
This is basically the same thing.
touche
FIRE BAAAD
Merch good
Beer goooood!
I know everyone who recognizes this super in-joke is like over 40. 🤣
Hey, I’m ALMOST 40.
Every single artist did it to Napster, Metallica were just the front men. Tbf Napster wasnt going to survive legally, and if it had remained popular they would have gone to shit with some sort of payment system
