7 figures a year to be an A&R man. Yet, the internet killed the music industry. 🤔

That band does zero for me. I've tried to like them and can't. For some reason I do like Megadeath. I think it's a Grove thing. Not sure.

Didn't anyone ever consider yhat some drunk kids from the bay area who made kill em all which was a great album. But they all a sudden came out with ride the lightning completely classically influenced? Like the chug masters wrote classical music all a sudden? Yeah right. Metallica didn't write ride , master, and justice or black. But wrote everything else. Its pretty obvious. They are industry plants. The music industry saw $ in metal. So they created a supergroup. Look hiw Metallica influenced an entire generation of kids.

Metallica didn't play at Lamour in 1982. He got his date mixed up.

It is funny how all the romantic glassy paint of the music history peels off just to show greed, bullshit and business. Classy. At 22 that guy had basically unlimited power. And there were these tuff bands who blabbered about how they took “no shit” from no one… while in reality they eat from the palm of execs. Just amazing. I ain’t judging, just funny how that bs was sold to us naive kids as a form of rebellion and independence 😂

I do not believe Metallica were suing Megaforce. Maybe he is just referring to the negotiation between Elektra and Megaforce over future Metallica rights. ???

David Geffen is the reason why Music sucks, even today cause they still use his formula. Zero Chance with Zero Creativity.

I think Metallica & Mötley Crüe owe way more people than they think they do for their starts.

David flew his own "party limo" whereever he went to keep the evidence with him. WORSE then Epstein and P-Diddler!!!! Bragging about bargains with the devil is super cool. NOT
