Metallica Becomes Less Douchy Towards Downloading

It was less than 10 years ago when Metallica went bat shit insane over Napster fans downloading their music illegally. In an apparent change of heart over the evils of the internet and downloading, drummer Lars Ulrich announced about a week ago during a store signing that the band is considering a Radiohead-style release for their next album. Radiohead released their last album “In Rainbows” online allowing fans to pay whatever price they wanted. Ulrich pointed out that the band already allows legal downloads of live songs on their website and that they are considering the possibilities of how best to release their next album.
