Metallica Sue Canadian Band over E, F Chords

Metallica are taking legal action against independant Canadian rock band Unfaith over what they feel is unsanctioned usage of two chords the band has been using since 1982 : E and F.

"People are going to get on our case again for this, but try to see it from our point of view just once," stated Metallica's Lars Ulrich. "We're not saying we own those two chords, individually - that would be ridiculous. We're just saying that in that specific order, people have grown to associate E, F with our music."

I rather liked Metallica, up to the Black Album. Sadly, following that they seem to have had problems being at all inspired, and instead fell back on "making albums that sound like Metallica", only not very good.

Yeah, the extreme now seems placid.

I remember thinking that Disco Volante was just noise.

...And Just For All still sounds like it was produced in a cardboard box tho.

I did not know you were hip to Disco Volante!
One of my favorite albums; though I did have to listen to it constantly for about a week until it made sense to me...

Yeah, me too. It took a while for my brain to lock onto the patterns hidden in it.

But, amazingly, the production on "St Anger" sounds *even worse*. Its horrible.
