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.
Funnily Metallica was the first thing 11yo me pirated after some older student told me about uTorrent/PirateBay.
Same guy also sent me some Slayer and Entombed over bluetooth. Hope he's doing good these days.
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.
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.
The official logo is realistic and it still works as a Jolly Roger. Even better, arguably.
