.........Deadly, if you had half a memory, you'd realize I spent plenty of time hear a year ago. I understand it's difficult what with your head being full of [fill in your own blank here] and all. It's ok.
Ok my memory is bad, admittedly, alright you can call me names, since you've been here a year ago, I'm not upset anymore......On with life.......:Spin:
 
Officer, I don't want to butt horns with you, there's no point, but for god's sakes... why does every time someone post an opinion you flame them to fuck, and never back down? Actually, in this case, he didn't even post an opinion: he pointed out that dozens of bands have done what Metallica has done... sheesh. He's absolutely right. Denying it makes you look like a petulant child. It's not his "point of view". It's a F A C T. That's it! He called ppl ignorant because a lot of ppl went nuts and called Metallica cash cows even more... I think it was completely called for to say what he did. But anyways, that's just my point of view, and his. I won't bother responding if your post is something like "n000000000000000000000000000000b" or whatever.

He called me ignorant. He doesn't post here regularly. Under the rules of
engagement, it's fair game.

and never back down?
2 posts and you say I never back down? uh, you're including bias.

Actually, in this case, he didn't even post an opinion: he pointed out that dozens of bands have done what Metallica has done... sheesh.
I don't know anything about those bands and what they do. I don't care
to know either. He came in here after being absent for a year and called
me ignorant. SHEEESH!

He's absolutely right. Denying it makes you look like a petulant child. It's not his "point of view". It's a F A C T. That's it!
Your point of view is subjective.

He called ppl ignorant because a lot of ppl went nuts and called Metallica cash cows even more...
I was one of them. I am entitled to MY opinion. I am a regular. He's not.
He can speak his mind but his post was semi-flaming.

I think it was completely called for to say what he did. But anyways, that's just my point of view, and his. I won't bother responding if your post is something or whatever.
Why do you always get on my back about my flaming? What are you? My mom?
 
**Just stands and laughs at Officer Nice.**

Deadly >> Fair enough. I wasn't specifically stating "Deadly Embrace, you're ignorant!" or anything like that. You'll have to forgive me, blind worship and blatant idiocy always bring out the beast in me; both exist in full effect here. You have to admit, it's pretty funny to see the incredible hypocrisy of so many opinions here.

Stun's sooooo dead-on. If Testament decided to release every single show they were to do this year for $10-$13 per show, how many people here would cry foul? I know, I know, someone will say it's different because Testament doesn't have more money than god already. But honestly, that's just not a valid argument. People can bitch and cry and moan all they want (this thread is proof) but a musician has every right to make a coupla' bucks off the releases of their shows. Hell, this is a GOOD thing. Forget about the fact that it's Metallica for one second.

If it goes well, more and more bands might be willing to give it a try (metal bands, I mean). How is that not a good thing?

No problem, your original post, & the bands you listed, you were just stating fact(not saying your into them)....and yes peoples opinions in here can be dissected throughly sometimes..........

Some people will say the more material a band puts out the better......some will say they are milking their fans outta more Money.....point taken....

It sounds like lealgized Bootlegging to me........depending on the quality of each show, that can decide the worth of it, but I can see people wanting good quality recording's of shows, previously un available, now that you've elaborated(more than your original post)........I can see your point, and agree if the quality is there..........
