All your chords are belong to Metallica - and you thought St. Anger was bad...

[Goatweed]

MONTREAL — Metallica are taking legal action against independant Canadian rock band Unfaith over what they feel is unsanctioned usage of two chords the band has been using since 1982 : E and F.

"People are going to get on our case again for this, but try to see it from our point of view just once," stated Metallica's Lars Ulrich. "We're not saying we own those two chords, individually - that would be ridiculous. We're just saying that in that specific order, people have grown to associate E, F with our music."

more here.

They really are awful - they should just pack it in and disappear.

EDIT : this looks like it might be a hoax, and normally I'd just trash the thread but that awful pic of lars makes it worth leaving it up.

And they're still awful.

I hope thats a joke.

If that was true every punk band in existance could sue each other for the same 4 chords that get played over and over.

[Goatweed]

it's looking like a joke, but it's still believeable considering who we're talking about.

[Faceman]

I would like to sue lars for using my oxygen but I don't think it gets to his brain anyway, so what would be the point

[Keyser Soze]

I thought this had to be a prank until I saw Metallica actually posted a press release regarding this on their website. F'ing morons.

nm, its definitely a hoax, but dont tell ronfez.net that. look how angry they are!

[Goatweed]

[Keyser Soze]

doubt it, but their webmaster seems to be a former fan or have a huge dislike for them.


or just gets overly excited and posts hyperbole laden messages on his website.

[criticslovesnatch]

[Faceman]

metallica sucks regardless.

Finally, A voice of reason

[Velociti]

its a hoax that was started on fark.com, if you look at the "metallica" press release, it's hosted at <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www1.scoopthis.com/411/met_uf/stc_met_uf.htm">http://www1.scoopthis.com/411/met_uf/stc_met_uf.htm</a><!-- m --> . The author of the "release" also took credit for it and confirmed that it was a hoax.

I can't believe the guys at rf.net jumped to that conclusion so quickly, since it was a publicity stunt by the band thats being "sued". :17:
