Mathew's comments: Metallica: One step forward, two steps…

    It's sad that they're ruining a good reputation (as a band, their music) by continually fluffing how they go about life on the Internet

    They should take a look at bands like Motley Crue and see how they've embraced today's media.

    Well if nothing else they're being consistent. They are arrogant snots. I used to like their music but unfortunately they have provided me with way too much information. musicians say what the y have to say in their music. These guys not only don't "get "the web they don't "get" marketing or PR either. Chumps!

    Either the band and/or management are clueless and don't want to embrace the digital world OR knowing that they have already generated past negative feelings, they figure they might as well play it up.

    It could be a bizarre (read: controversial/calculated) way to get attention in our ADD world. It sure creates a much longer buzz, even though it seems counterintuitive. I wonder how many people are now curious to hear the new songs because of all the hoopla.

    I'm sure that regardless of their motives and questionable business decisions, they will move a whole lot of CDs and sell-out arenas.
