I am old enough to remember when Metallica was a garage band and wasn't radio friendly.

The first time I ever heard them was a live bootleg and I remember Hetfield asking the crowd who was hearing them for the first time "loud cheering" then asking who was recording it for a bootleg "loud cheering and screaming" then he said

you better fucking share that shit with your friends!

I will never forgive them for what they did to Napster.

Funnily Metallica was the first thing 11yo me pirated after some older student told me about uTorrent/PirateBay.

Same guy also sent me some Slayer and Entombed over bluetooth. Hope he's doing good these days.
