Metallica/Warner can blow me

I got an email from YouTube today...One of my videos has been blocked. It was an Evangelion AMV featuring "One" by Metallica. Now, this video was very, VERY old...I created this AMV several years ago when I first got into Anime, and it was maybe my second or third AMV. And from what I gather, I unwittingly created one of the more popular Eva AMVs on the net. Maybe I'm being egotistical, but when enough people download and post your AMV...I think that qualifies as "F**king good".

But YouTube doesn't give a shit. They don't care about how proud I am of my AMVs success. They only care that Metallica bitched about it. Apparently, they've been blocking Metallica videos left and right. I find myself suddenly glad that several people have reposted my work, and continue to do so...Because now I have some hope that the AMV will not die. And as long as I keep seeing "Evangelion - One" AMVs with the tell-tale Maverick Stuidos intro...I can still rest assured that people can still enjoy it.

Aside from having my AMV basically pissed on, I'm particularly irate with Metallica. The band once stood for rebellion, not giving a shit, and kicking ass. Now, they are nothing but a collection of pussies who need to fucking retire. I remember when Metallica only cared about releasing the hardest thrash metal known to man...and now all they care about is their damn wallets. I grew my hair out, bought a black wardrobe, and ammassed a collection of music that would make lesser men cringe thanks to Metallica. What are true metalheads supposed to think when their role models sell out like that? New metal is shit, and the older bands have become fattened by wealth. As much as I hate to admit it, metal is nearing extinction.

So fuck Metallica and their corperate bullshit. They've become the very thing that metal is meant to oppose.

Hey, there are SOME metal bands that are old and not corrupt a-holes. Extreme, at least.

Dunno any others, I don't think Maiden's very active. D:

If you made music and weren't making money for it and people were posting it illegally all over the net, you'd be pretty pissed too. =S

I got my Without a Fight AMV for Code Geass blocked...without it even getting online. I worked my butt off on that thing, and it wasn't even the band who blocked it-it was yt, just yt claiming it to be a third party. The song isn't even on their audio swap for god's sake! They did the same with an old Jimmy Buffet one.

So believe me in saying I feel your pain, Zero.

Dunno about you but I rather Megan Fox blowing me... Hahahah!...

Okay, Shut up. I just like girls >_<

Anyways, I disagree on the fact. I download music so, This doesn;t apply to me, I guess Metallica is pissed off because they are losing money because people is downloading there music and stuff. Metallica doesn't understand that somepeople like to use to upload there music to there computer via CD.
I can understand working hard and not getting paid, Every human wants to be paid for working.

Metal does suck these days, But I don't care, Better then some of the shit on the radio these days.

They were also one of the many music bands that sued Napster when Napster had free downloads, so I would understand why they would throw a fit over one small video. And at least Metal these days is better than Christian.

Christian rock has a few issues-- they can't go too soft without upsetting people that like GOOD rock, but they can't go too hard before being condemned by the clergy.
