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.

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.
