Wired picked up the scope on the latest Metallica controversy, throwing a typical Lars conniption fit after the band invited folks to a listening only to get nervous and ask online reviewers to remove all reviews of their new album. Then the doublespeak started. It was all the fault of a PR firm, at least that’s what the band said faster than you can say “Napster”…It is now official, Metallica is dead to me and the rest of the metal community. Here’s to hoping that the Orlando Weekly does another “Metallica Sucks” contest.

It would be interesting to know what fans think 5 years later. Especially with the new album getting ready to come out.
