So does anyone here not find it distressing that one of the great thrash metal bands of our time now found themselves and their merchandise marketed towards the same audience as *NSNYC and Emimen?
This pisses me off almost more than their current music. If Metallica released a new album tomorrow, and I wanted to one of the first to have it - Id have to stand in line with a group of pre-pubescent boys and girls in their Booby Spears and Backstreet Bums shirts!!
For the record, it's N*SYNC, not *NSYNC. Note position of asterisk.
Not that I am a fan or anything .......
HAHA! j/k!
On a serious note, the Metallica marketing machine must be freakin' huge by now. They would almost be making more money from t-shirts, posters, caps, and now action figures, than from sales of their actual CDs.
Those figures are cool!!!! I can put master of puppets on, flash a torch on and off and watch the figures. Just like being there! Only more metal because they now have no hair and think they are a country band.
