Skullcandy and Metallica have teamed up to create these absolutely metal headphones, showing the world just how into a burned out, old-man rock band you are. Ride the lightning, bro! My recommendation: steal them, just like you steal Metallica’s music (OK, don’t really steal stuff, but still, screw Metallica). [Pocket Lint via SlipperyBrick]

Tuesday, September 16, 2008 at 11:51 AMsorry, but metallica’s new album is their best since the justice era so their music credibility is back..
as for the naptster thing – lars was just the front man for that, the spokesperson. once he was involved he regretted being the poster boy, and he has even admitted that. all that he wanted was an online distribution method that the artist could actually make money out of, and we have that now with the itunes store and even naptsters online store
and it wasnt for him. he was doing it so new bands could actually survive instead of having all their new music pirated.
downloading music via torrent is fine.. but if you like the album, fucking buy the thing! support the artist. or at least go see them in concert, they get more cash that way. if artists cant get paid, they will never exist as full time musicians.
imagine if led zepplin or black sabbath never made it off the ground because we all downloaded their albums, they made no cash, couldnt tour and ended up being the factory workers they were prior to becoming big. music wouldnt be what it is today.
