I figured I'd cut Marty a little slack before he goes off the reservation..

Haha, I remember Metallica having issues with Napster.  Man, brings back some times.  

It’s really hard behind the anonymity of the internet not to push one’s buttons.  No offense to him, but if he’s gonna open up about not quoting… he’s inviting it. No hard feeling, at least on my part…

Money changes a lot of perspective. In their earlier days, they'd have punched older them square in the face for the stance they took.

I lost a ton of respect for them during that time, and still have trouble enjoying their early stuff. Everything from the Napster era forward has been unlistenable tripe, so I guess they were doing us a favor and limiting the possibilty of exposure to their forthcoming material.
