That's probably the percentages from revenue from album sales, touring, merchandise etc. As I said above, publishing revenue goes to the writers of the songs.

So nothing has changed, the two boyos still have their financial heads screwed on fair play to them, they are one of the best heavy metal bands that in the world.

And cliff was planning to sack Lars and recruit Dave, Lars is a lucky boy in a terrible way.

There's a mod instruction a couple of pages back that asks for people not to request or link to illegal downloads or torrents.

It's not just them. Most bands that don't write as a group are probably the same. Although, that leads us to the question - were Kirk and Rob left out of the songwriting on this album deliberately? Because they both got writing credits on DM so were probably involved then (unless Lars and James were just being charitable).

Recoup of $20,000,000 lost on through the never? James and Lars put the most money into it

Yup, that's why Rob was giving out a few years ago, he was in the Red after the movie, not as much as the guys but it still hurts he said at the time.

Edit: sorry they lost 30 million.

www.metallicabb.com is going ape**** over this album!!!!!

zcorpian88

It's a cracker, loved it the minute I got a hold of it Saturday night,

Wasn't expecting it to be that good, better than DM, Load and Reload, St. Anger combined.

I like all their work but damn, production is very good, Hetfield's vocals are great, Kirk is great, lots of "Kirkness" on it, even if folks hate the use of the wah pedal, Rob even got more of a role in co-writing ManUNkind like the little doodle at the beginning and he even got a little doodle on Spit Out The Bone. Lars sounds great, he takes advantage of that kit of his alright, even when people say he's a shyte drummer. At the end of the day you can't get rid of Lars, he's the right drummer for them. Couldn't imagine the band without him.

I know what you mean. I think after all the hype before DM I was left feeling let down, it just felt like it didn't deliver and was very samey and unambitious. so for this I took the opposite approach, and so have been pleasantly surprised as a result.

i personally think fans expect too much, these guys are in their 50's, theyve been through all sorts of major life changing experiences. theyve been there and done it. they really dont owe anybody anything. they are perfectly entitled to do whatever they want, and its ok for you not to like it. if you dont like them anymore, move on! we as fans need to respect them and their choices. some fans come across as they owe us this that and the other thing, they dont, get over yourself! yes we all know their first 4/5 albums were ground breaking, but its time for the world, metallica and music fans to move on. just be glad they're still here.

I'd say that Jason is crying somewhere now.

im sure jason is just fine, even though he did go through a difficult period the last couple of years with his mother dying, but he seems very happy with his chop house band and i wish him all the best with it. neither of us know jason personally, so neither of us know how hes really feeling.

It's been discussed at length in the previous pages.

His contributions weren't taken on board. That's about it really
