Metalica kicks in 50k for reward

this is in conjuntion to the disappearance of a Va Tech student that went missing during the show in Charlottesville Sat before last.

no link but I heard on the radio that the guitarist/singer called the father of the girl the other day offering the money.

I was never was a fan but I have to give them a big hat tip for this.

I fear that there will not be a happy ending to this story.

She was probably a file sharer and they just want to find her to sue her.

What other reason would they offer $50k for this one person and not the 100,000+ other people missing in the US? Seriously, would you trust these guys?

Well, you're not sick like Speakeasy. I just laugh at everything that is wrong.

Maybe if Metallica didn't have a long and varied history of being indescribably huge douche bags I wouldn't have an issue with this. Unfortunately, they do.

It sucks that the girl is missing, for sure, but Metallica's motives are always "What's in it for us".

+1, I was about to say the same thing. When I think of Metallica, I think "douchebags". They're millionaires, and the best they could contribute was $50k?

You're right. It's mega important and serious when a young attractive white female college student goes missing.

Re: Metalica kicks in 50k for reward

daddio - really? Metallica are assholes, plain and simple. Why would we start in on the girl? It sucks that it happened and like Jefe, I hate it for her family and I hope they find her.

And *prepares herself for flying eggs* much like the poor child in Florida, it happens.every.day.
