As you all know of the famous Band Metallica. They are at it again. This time they have sued Harmonix, Activision, and Red Octane for using one of their songs for their new video game Guitar Hero III.
Guitar Hero is a great game that appeals to everyone of all ages. And they decided to put a lawsuit against all three companies responsible for the game. This version of Guitar Hero was due to come out for all three next gen consoles, the Xbox 360, the Nintendo Wii, and the Playstation 3.
Harmonix paid a licensing fee for that ONE song of Metallica that’s why people are confused on why Metallica would turn around and sue them all.
Metallica’s excuse was that they are afraid that their record sales would go down because their fans and consumers would easily get a hold of their “music” from purchasing a video game. COME ON!!! It’s one song and Metallica hasn’t made any albums in years. They always try to get more and more money by suing one company after another.
How low can Metallica Sink? That story just made me mad when I first heard it. What was your reaction?
Sink? They jumped the shark years ago when they released Garage Inc. They’re just a bunch of over-the-hill sellouts, nothing like what people grew to love them for.
I can’t even stand to listen to their music now, it stands for and belongs on MTV2 with the gangsta “Look at my bling!” crap.
This is a hoax. Metallica is not suing the game companies.
lol, its not a hoax, Metallica’s lawyers spoke out already and it’s been on the news already
and this isn’t the first time they did that, they have done it before for money, not the music :/
Yes – it is a hoax. No lawyer would use the term “go bat-shit”. At least not a lawyer expensive enough for Metallica to use..
It was a radio station og web site that tried to be funny and sarcastic, but obviously they weren’t very good at it – and the “news” got out on the wire.
Anyways, if you check Metallicas official site you’ll see that they proudly announce their agreement both with Guitar hero and Rock band.
