They are two completely different issues...
Oh FFS Steve, they suck, what more can I say that I haven't already said? lol... I'm not alone in my opinion* of their utter suckage, google "Metallica Sucks" if you don't believe me.

*That's right, my opinion... just in case it hasn't been abundantly clear, I am of the opinion that Metallica sucks gigantic elephant balls.

Again, “sucks” is subjective.

There are throngs of fans, who buy every available ticket for Metallica concerts, who disagree with you.

And you’ve failed to show a correlation between the fact that you think they suck and the amount of money they contributed…

Re: Metalica kicks in 50k for reward

So, let's recap. Metallica, a shitty band filled with terrible people, offers a tiny fraction of what they sue their fans for to aid in the search of a media friendly girl ten days after she vanished and everyone is supposed to give a shit. Got it.

I really, really wish that they’d rescind the offer of the fifty grand, and then tell the family that they took it back because of people like you.

Metallica’s generosity is dismissed because people don’t like the band, regardless of the fact that they had no obligation or responsibility to put up a single fucking penny.

I think we should lambaste Barack Obama, Donald Trump, the Disney Corporation, and McDonald’s, as well. They have no obligation or responsibility, either, and no one of them are really worth a fuck…

And that’s sad.

It’s sad that people want to concentrate on the whether or not Metallica sucks, and then bitch about them because they offer up too little because they suck.

I applaud Metallica. They didn’t have to donate a fucking dime…

You'd wish to punish the girl and her family to teach people a lesson?

Forgive me if I'm not overwhelmed that a band that sues fans for hundreds of thousands of dollars puts up $50k (half of what the girl's own parents put up) for a girl ten days after she vanishes. I'm really trying to care. Honestly.

To each their own, I guess.

Well...not to be a bitch or anything...but you've spent several pages convincing us how they do not suck...so...

How would that be punishing them? It's not like they'd have less than they started out with if Metallica rescinded it...

How much did Metallica collect?

No, Jefe's made it pretty clear that, if you suck, you suck. So, apparently, saying that someone sucks is enough to demand that they contribute money to the cause...

Sure they didn't. They also didn't have to have a history of being such immense douche bags, either, but what do you know...

Sooo... I'm not a fan of Metallica's music.

I'm a fan of how they conduct business. I'm a fan of how they fought to try to protect what was theirs.

My point was that there are a lot of people out there who don't think they suck. I don't care for their music, but I don't think they suck. I don't think they don't suck. I don't really have an opinion on their music.

I'm sure that you'll be able to wrap your head around that...

Re: Metalica kicks in 50k for reward

this kind of hits home with me cause i was recently at the metallica show in atlanta.

while i have always liked their music, its funny how some of the music you like is created by people you have trouble respecting.

for example, at the show, between a song, hetfield was like "thank you for being here, you know folks can buy shirts and CD's, but to come to a show is the ultimate sign of respect, to share the experience, etc."

i am thinking, what the hell? you are one of the most established metal bands ever, and you are concerned with 'respect'? why not just assume your fans respect your music? but anyway...

i think they are offering this reward because they know the type of situations that rock concerts produce, lots of drugs, etc, its easy that her dissapearence is somewhat drug related, or at least related to the chaos that shows produce. its slight genuine concern, slight guilt, slight PR.

And one does not correlate; not even the slightest bit to how much they should or shouldn’t have donated. But at least one person here has tried to make that correlation, but has failed to make a connection between the two.

As for them being douchebags, why do you hold that opinion?

Help me wrap my head around what that has to do with the missing girl. I don't care about Metallica either way. I've never had a mullet, so I've never been a big fan. You were saying it's sad people are focusing on the band instead of the girl, but you're one of those people. Just wanted to point that out. Carry on.
