Metallica embrace digital stores Metallica released their debut album Kill 'Em All in 1983 Rock band Metallica have finally made their entire music catalogue available to download from the internet. Fans can buy individual songs from their 10 albums after the band relented on a longstanding refusal to make them available on iTunes and Napster. In 2001, Metallica settled a

legal case against Napster - when it was a file- sharing service - for allowing users to download songs without permission. On iTunes the songs are available for download in the US and Canada only. Live tracks Complete Metallica albums and live concerts have previously been available via other music internet sites and on their own website. But the band had never allowed digital music services to sell single songs until now. A statement on the band's website said: "Over the last year or so, we have seen an ever-growing number of Metallica fans using online sites like iTunes to get their music. "So, in continuing with the tradition of offering our albums for sale online as well as making our live concerts available for download in their entirety we are now offering fans the opportunity to obtain our songs individually." The band have also made available previously unreleased live tracks along with their

back catalogue of albums, from their 1983 debut Kill 'Em All to 2004's Some Kind of Monster. Mercury Records, Metallica's record label outside the US, was not immediately available for comment on when the songs would be made available on iTunes outside the US and Canada. Peter H

Hi Tara

 

I gave up on 'em long before that.... I like everything up to the black album... and almost all of the black album (not keen on The Unforgiven, but other than that I enjoyed it).... but after that they just got into drugs and alcohol a bit too much, and it really affected their music... and not in a good way IMO! :-(

Hi Fraggle

 

>yeah..cuz obviously they weren't drunken louts in the old days...ie: Dave mustaine....

 

Ummm - you ever actually listened to the words for Master Of Puppets?

 

Mustaine also wasn't a " drunken lout " , he was a heroin addict. He was kicked out before they became famous, and the rest of the band never used to get drunk while performing....

Hi Tara

 

I gave up on 'em long before that.... I like everything up to the black album... and almost all of the black album (not keen on The Unforgiven, but other than that I enjoyed it).... but after that they just got into drugs and alcohol a bit too much, and it really affected their music... and not in a good way IMO! :-(

What they mean is 'oh dear, we're not very popular now, how can we make more money?'

Metallica embrace digital stores

 

 

 

 

 

Metallica released their debut album Kill 'Em All in 1983 Rock band Metallica have finally made their entire music catalogue available to download from the internet. Fans can buy individual songs from their 10 albums after the band relented on a longstanding refusal to make them available on iTunes and Napster. In 2001, Metallica settled a legal case against Napster - when it was a file- sharing service - for allowing users to download songs without permission. On iTunes the songs are available for download in the US and Canada only. Live tracks Complete Metallica albums and live concerts have previously been available via other music internet sites and on their own website. But the band had never allowed digital music services to sell single songs until now. A statement on the band's website said: "Over the last year or so, we have seen an ever-growing number of Metallica fans using online sites like iTunes to get their music. "So, in continuing with the tradition of offering our albums for sale online as well as making our live concerts available for download in their entirety we are now offering fans the opportunity to obtain our songs individually." The band have also made available previously unreleased live tracks along with their back catalogue of albums, from their 1983 debut Kill 'Em All to 2004's Some Kind of Monster. Mercury Records, Metallica's record label outside the US, was not immediately available for comment on when the songs would be made available on iTunes outside the US and Canada.
