<STRONG>Ugh! I hate MEtallica. Not just for their music, but for who they are. They're so against people sharing music for free, and that they're missing out on money because of it. They already millions, and they want more... Greedy basterds...</STRONG>
If that was true why couldn't these people just rip them to Mp3 themselves?Originally posted by Aegis:
<STRONG> Half the people that D/L the songs, already have them on CD.</STRONG>
Most my jpop I don't have on CD. Some of my other music I have on CD. Most of my other music, I have on tape. Most of those tapes are 20-30 years old(they actually belong to my parents) and don't work anymore. So, I download'em. I also download a song of a group that I may or may not like to see if I like it, then, if I ever get enough money I might by the CD. That's another problem. I'm a monetarily deficient college girl who goes shopping a minimum of 2-3 times a week, so I can't exactly afford to buy a CD.Originally posted by Mr Sleep:

i haven't heard that name in a long time..... I was the biggest fan of Metallica For years. They made the best, edgiest, rebellion music there ever was. Then, right after the black album, they changed their style. Now the stuff they put out pretty much SUCKS, bigtime. I own every cd they made up til Load, which really was their downfall for me. I mean if you make a CD with one good song, you can't blame Napster for you not selling records. Then a person like me, who has bought and justice for all atleast5 times, doesn't deserve the right to down load a few songs that I have payed for time and time again ,Ohhhhh, it pisses me off. I will never buy another Metallica CD, EVER! You haven't seen Rioport Audio Manager? It came on my laptop and I've seen it in stores. Maybe they just don't have these programs in Canada. I've seen at least 3 or 4 different programs in the stores that'll do that.Originally posted by Aegis:
<STRONG>@Sleep: About your comment about ripping em to MP3 themselves, it's not that easy if you don't have the right programs. I've searched for a year, and can't find any program but Siren that will do it for me.</STRONG>
Exactly....this last year of college i met new people and was introduced to many new music groups. To see if i liked them i would download several songs and form an opinion of the group. If i liked them, i bought the album when i had the money.Originally posted by Sailor Saturn:

Thought about goin back the other night and puttin that on my original post.How long a time? How far behind am I in finding this group? I'm not surprised I'm behind, though. I only just got interested in rock last year, thanks to my girlfriend. She convinced me to download songs like Kryptonite, With Arms Wide Open, and...uh...I forgot what else. I got her back for it though by getting her interested in country music.Originally posted by Mr Sleep:
<STRONG>Ace of Base
I happened upon Ace of Base when I was downloading Sailor Moon music vids and found one of the song Tokyo Girl. I liked it and searched out more Ace of Base songs and downloaded them. Another reason to download mp3s: The ONLY eminem song I like is The Real Slim Shady(and I like the music a LOT more than the words), so I'm definitely not going to go out and buy an eminem CD just for that one song. So, I downloaded it(and this totally kawaii parody by Sailor Chibi Moon called "The Real Suga Baby" ). )Originally posted by Sailor Saturn:

Songs listened to while typing this post: Song of the South by Alabama, Standing Outside The Fire by Garth Brooks, Angel Eyes by Ace of Base, and Tokyo Girl by Ace of Base. (Yes, I took a long time to type this. I think I need to reboot my brain, I'm running low on system resources.
I find it hard to even label them Alternative...as broad as the genre is.Originally posted by Aegis:
<STRONG>It's more like wanna-be Alternitive...
I label anything that's not country, jazz, pop, jpop, rap, or classical as "rock." Which used to be everything that gave me a headache.Originally posted by average joe:

They were the short-lived "thing" back in my sixth grade days....being seven or eight years ago.
It's also funny that you would label them "rock."</STRONG>
Back then, I'd just say, "I hate rock" and it would include all that stuff I didn't like. I might know more about the exact divisions of musical genres if I listened to the radio more, but when I actually do listen to da radio, it's usually a country station. Amazing, ain't it?
