Grue
fact that he was willing to pursue frivolous lawsuits that only served to
keep the people who wanted to hear his music from doing just that,
especially when he got 30, 000 people banned from the Napster service for
listening to Metallica's music....those were people who LIKED Metallica he
fucked over...also known as Metallicas' FANS.....if any member of a band is
willing to fuck over their fans for the all mighty dollar.....they suck.
But it gets even WORSE.....when those fans complained...he said "Fine,
we don't want those kinds of people as our fans anyways". Well, let me
educate you people on something.....bands don't hardly make shit off of the
albums they sell....you've heard this a thousand times from artists like
Sheryl Crow and Metallica......the money they make is from TOURING......so
if a few people download a few songs, like what they hear, go out and buy
concert tickets, see the show....WHATS THE HARM? The only people who get
fucked in the deal is the record companies....which are not going to miss
it, I assure you. Quite frankly, I think the music industry needed just this
kick in the ass to get them to wake up to how todays fans are tired of their
artificially inflated priced for compact discs. Anyone with a burner knows
the actual disc, the case and everything only costs about $1.00..now I
realize that there are people who need to get paid, like the band, the
record company, the producer, the guy who designed the artwork and
stuff.....but those guys all make their money, all that they are owed in no
more than a years time.....so why is it that Metallicas first album, "Kill
'Em All" from 1983 still costs the same as their new one? Something to think
about...but this is all just my opinion.

lost money..
sn...@mindspring.com
point(when the lable is paid for all the money they have invested in the
album),then the band makes money.bands that don't sell enough records to
break even,don't make anything.but metallica makes probobly anywhere from 3
to 5 dollars(or more) for every album they sell after the break even
point(this is what came about when they sued their label to get a better
royalty rate).the average band makes about a dollar per record sold after
breaking even.the big name bands make a lot more.they definatly make the
bucks when they tour-ticket and merchendise sales.

With all due respect to you, (and I mean that) louder does not equal better. I
have seen Lars play and have seen Roger play.
Roger is better hands down. All JMHO.

Napster is more or less like an all-request-on demenad-radio station...radio
stations play songs for free all day all night, and have done so for years
as a form of advertisement for bands and labels....Napster COULD be the same
thing, with the proper things put in place........small acts without much of
a following could advertise for next to nothing on there by allowing their
music to be heard by an audience willing to take a chance, large acts could
benefit by allowing new fans to hear their music for the first time to break
them in.....I know Napster has been perverted into a beast....with the
advent of PC CD burners, you can make fairly decent CDs to be listened to in
your car from songs downloaded on Napster.....and that I don't agree
with....but for just hearing that new song that you always seem to miss or
hearing a new act perform for the first time....Napster had a shit ton of
potential........too bad.
As far as MP3s being perfect digital copies......if you knew anything
about "lossy compression" you would know that MP3s are anything but
digitally perfect copies of songs....the first thing that happens is that
all sounds outside the normal human range of hearing are clipped off and
discarded, then the song is analized to determine the difference in sounds
produced by the left and right cannels.....similar sounds are then discarded
and the remaining sounds from the remaining channel are then split to play
in mono across both channels, the the sounds that are different between the
two channels are played over the mono portion. Thats how they compress the
songs down that small. Can you hear the difference? Well, at 128, probaly
not...but at 96 and below, sure you can. So in short, MP3s are not
"digitally perfect" copies of the soungs heard on regular CDs, because only
about 1/3 of the original information is left intact.

Louder doesn't necessarily mean better, although I'm not a fan of
Roger's sound (or style either). Lars played much better on the early
Metallica releases, as Roger also did on the early Queen releases.

every Queen CD they ever made, but from Napster I could get demo's, live
performances, things that weren't available on CD. And also alot of the
oldies that I'd tried to get on CD but were never able to find. I'm talking
about obscure songs from the '60's and early '70's. For that I say Lars is
a money grubbing ass. They're already so much richer than they'd ever know
what to do with, why spoil Napster for the rest of us. What started me on
Napster was an old song I'd tried and tried to order from record stores when
they were still record stores. It was called Distant Fire, by the Sanford
Townsend Band. I'd been trying for at least 20 years to get that one song
and after about two minutes on Napster I had it. If I could've bought it 20
years ago, I would have.

Yes he does, doesn't he. That's the main reason I don't like metallica, the
sound of the bass drum. It doesn't have any depth. Instead of going dufff it
goes chung, it makes a bit metall, tinny sound. I don't know why they like

And doubly so for MP3. MP3 is a lossy compression format, and is therefore
inferior to CD, even at its highest quality (which is rarely found online,
especially on Napster). MP3 is like a perpetual second- or third-generation
copy.

What I was trying to say, Mr Know-It-All, is that Lars Ulrich's overall
playing was much stronger than Roger's. It could've been the production, but
then again, I've heard Metallica live and Lars' drumming is virtually the
same as it is on record. If you've listened to Metallica's Black Album, then
watch their performance at FM Tribute Concert, you'll know what I mean.
An interesting fact is that Roger Taylor actually started on guitar before
he moved behind a set of drums. Roger's guitar playing is average, to say
the most, and his drumming was average as well. So drumming was sort of a
second reserve for him - meaning he wasn't born with it in him... well not
like Bonham or Cozy Powell or whoever. There are no particular Queen songs
that spring to mind that feature Roger on exceptionally stunning drums,
except perhaps for Dead On Time, Great King Rat or Liar.
Going back to Lars, most Metallica tracks you hear have some extremely
complicated drumming in them. When he hits the snare, you really feel that
he's hitting it with everything he's got. He's also quite an emotional chap
playing live as he constantly sings to himself and gives an invisible woman
closeby oral sex - which would explain why he's tounge's so restless...

Actually, Roger played drums since he was very young as well as guitar. He
said the drums came much more naturally to him and that is why he became a
drummer. He plays many instruments well, in fact.
>There are no particular Queen songs

There are too many to mention. Roger is far better than average as a drummer.
I guess it's just a matter of opinion.

Have you seen Queen live???? or just that FM tribute crap?
Lars never was an outstanding drummer, just a mediocre thrash-metal
drummer, and I really can't find something like a style in his
drumming.
From Queen to Innuendo Roger had his own style, if you can't hear that
I'll give you a hint....listen to his use of cymbals and bass-drum.

I didn't claim to know-it-all, nor did I say Roger was any better or
worse than Lars. Roger is a decent drummer, nothing outstanding, you're
right. But at least Cosy Powell could use a double bass drum properly,
unlike Lars. Also I stand by other people's opinions that Lars drum
sound is cack, considering the production and engineering abilities
these days. Roger's playing in the 70s was considerably better than it
was later on.

point without using the words I really meant. I was trying to keep it
civil, because Lars really pisses me off. Like I said, I already own
everything Queen has made available here in the states and even ordered a
few things from some shop in London, videos that I had to pay to have
converted to VHS. It isn't that I'm looking for free stuff, but I did enjoy
hearing songs from obscure artists that I haven't heard in years, and being
able to get demo's of Queen and Elton and Springstein that I'd never be able
to hear without Napster. To me that's not taking money from anybody. If it
was for sale I'd buy it, but if it's things that aren't for sale how else

Napster started off as a student writing a program her thought would be
useful. Do you really think he'd envisage what happened at the time?
Something like that was going to come sooner or later, the music
industry just shut it's eyes and hoped it would all go away. There are
zillions of people breaking copyright laws at any one moment, just
because it's on that big bad scary place called the Internet doesn't
mean it's doomsday. I suppose you've never, ever broken a law yourself
then? Thought as much.

Depends what radio stations you listen to.

radio stations do NOT illegally broadcast copyrighted music, they have
permission from the owners of said music AND they pay a fee. it is not "free
all day all night"
What I meant was to say that it is free on my end...for my consumption, I
pay no fee....and the point was that if Napster could get that kind of
authorization to pay that fee, it could have been great. Of course radio
stations pay a fee, but they are received for free......

Well the question was:
"his worst childhood memory was when he couldn't go to a Queen concert
because he was grounded"
The answer is:
"The worst day of my life was when I was a teenager and my mom wouldn't let
me go to a Queen concert because I was grounded" - Lars Ulrich
How important was that? Absolutely nothing of significance different from
the question and easily found using Google. I think that the discussion
that the question prompted was far more important and far more interesting
than that sterile answer. This *is* a discussion group and a forum for
opinions after all, it is hopefully not a resource for people who want
others do simple web searches for them.
This is going to be one hell of a boring NG if we are not allowed to debate
and have opposing views.

If you are not Dutch, are you an anagram?
Perhaps you are that famous Irish delivery man, Van O'Driver?
Or perhaps you are better known as the latest decendant in the famous line
of cursing Irish priests, otherwise known as Rev. O'Darn IV? ;-)

Paul,
I am not saying that the discussion of Napster is bad. I just find it
interesting that a simple question was asked and it wasn't answered until
recently. I am just saying let's have a little respect for the original
question before we go running willynilly naked in the fields on different
topics. As for the Google search, with that logic you shouldn't even ask
questions here, because google can pretty much asnwer most of them. Hell, we
put up with stupid questions from Doris and WKM we can answer one that not so
stupid.

Are there even any pirate radio stations in operation in first world countries?

Sorry, Tym, but patience is a virtue, is it not? So is tolerance. People
will answer questions if they want or go off on a tangent if they want. I
don't see a problem either way.
However, the idea of all the AMQ posters running willynilly naked in the
fields appeals greatly. Anybody else up for it?

Yes.
There are also 'pirate' radio stations on the Net, I don't see the RIAA
or Lars clamouring to stop them. Also there are billions of fan or
otherwise websites which use pictures and text copyrighted by other
people without permission. I don't see anyone enforcing this.

Actually, this brings up an interesting point. Where have the females in the
group been lately?
I haven't seen a post from Robin, rOOth, or various Susans and a Bec in about
3-5 days. Only Jacqui (or was it Paul???) has been posting. Did Doris
and/or/aka Mahler get together and kidnap the ladies of the group?

Hi Jon! Actually, I have been sooooo flippin' busy that I'm not on the puter
all that much.
I work at a dance studio and our annual recital it next weekend and there is so
much work, and extra rehearsals etc, to do that I'm not home too much! After
the recital I will be back to torment you all on much more regular basis. Oh,
as for running willy nilly........I'll get back to you on that. :)

teach? I used to be a Ballroom and Latin dancer myself. I gave it up and
trained to be a teacher when I got married, I intended to teach children but
didn't really do that much with the qualification in the end. Maybe I will
when I retire ... :-)

Hi Jacqui. My classes range from age 3 to age 8. I teach tap, ballet and
jazz. I also take classes there as the studio ranges from age 3 to adult. I
also am trained as a teacher (early childhood ed.) and then became trained to
teach dance to the younger ones. It's an interesting twist on teaching. I'm
not the greatest dancer in the world, but do well enough to teach that age
group. I keep taking classes so that I can teach higher level dance. I love
to watch ballroom dancing, you should try to return to it one day...it's great
excercise and fun as you know. :)
