[supadupapunky]

just curious.

 

[Spooner]

trying to get rid of Napster

 

[Platypus]

It's about turning your band into a bunch of whiney greedy assholes.

Oops, I mean I don't know.

bad luck?

And it feels right this time
On this crash course we're in the big time
Pay no mind to the distant thunder
Beauty fills his head with wonder, boy....

Says it feels right this time
Turn around, found new high lights
Good day to be alive Sir
Good day to be alive, he said.....

Then it comes to be that the soothing light at the end of your tunnel
is just a freight train coming your way
Then it comes to be that the soothing light at the end of your tunnel
is just the freight train coming your way

Don't it feel right like this
All the pieces fall to his wish
Suck up for that quick reward boy
Suck up for that quick reward they said.....

Then it comes to be that the soothing light at the end of your tunnel
is just a freight train coming your way
Then it comes to be that the soothing light at the end of your tunnel
is just the freight train coming your way......
It's coming your way
It's coming your way......
Here comes

Yeah, Then it comes to be that the soothing light at the end of your tunnel
Is just a freight train coming your way.... Yeah...
Then it comes to be, Yeah...
Then it comes to be, Yeah...
Then it comes to be, Yeah...
Then it comes to be, Yeah...
Then it comes to be, Yeah...
Then it comes to be, Yeah...
Then it comes to be, Yeah...
Then it comes to be, Yeah

That'd be my guess.

Bah, you guys are way too hard on them.

I'm not sure what it's about.

It's alright Eli. If they choose to get all riled up over an internet application, it's their business. Some others have more important things to worry over... like how to make a living and get what you deserve in life. Oh wait, that's what MetallicA was fighting for.

I am confused, where did I mention Napster? They sold out and started making music that sucked long before their lawsuit. Then, they release CDs with one decent song on them and the rest is filler. They got old and stopped doing it for the music, it became about the paycheck. I still listen to Kill Em All and Ride The Lightning and Master of Puppets because they shred. Their new "music" is just a sad.

As far as getting what you deserve in life? I think they did nicely for themselves.

 

[rh71]

Hmm... how many concerts did they do after releasing their less-than-favorable albums? Yeah... it's not all about the money. If you watch them on-stage, you would agree they do it for the fans and for the love of their music. It's all about the high energy and working the crowd. Music is the only thing Jaymz ever knew.

As far as selling out, that's debatable (please use a new term, sold out is losing it's flare, don't ya think?). You state things like you know that's the only reason they do it. Their style of music changed, there's no doubt about that. Either you like it or you don't. Either you're a faithful or you're not. But how is it that you think they're doing it for the money when it is their pre-LOAD records that went triple platinum?

 

[KEV1N]

My analysis of the lyrics results in my conclusion that the song is about them Sux0ring

 

[rh71]

By the way, BAD SEED kicks ass. Oh and I named my hockey team DISPOSABLE HEROES. We won the championship tonight. MetallicA marches on...

Seems to be about bad luck changing to good luck.
