Free Live Metallica MP3's 1982-2003 On Official Website

There are 20 Albums to download that have been recorded all over the world, from Sweden to California.

Fantastic, not really into Metalica myself but OH will love this. Thanks

Yeah, me neither but obviously this way of marketing will reach people like us that will download it because we are "curious" as to what the music is really like without having to pay. It's a great idea and a great marketing strategy!

Sweet my 11 year old loves Metalica

Surely this means the end of the world.

A few years ago Metallica went crazy about downloads of their songs, I mean, they've only just gone onto iTunes and agreed to be in the music games.

I remember that!! They have obviously realised that most people obtain music illegally these day's so to give away their live stuff for free may encourage people to buy their studio stuff! Finally labels are beginning to see what we want!

crashes every time I try to download music

Total hypocrites(sp?)!! Your right, they were the big bad guys who fought so hard to collaspe Napster....when by that time there were at least 10 other better file sharing systems available.

**** over rated bunch of guys who want to make noise...........music? Gimme bill withers anyway!

You mean '' who want to make MONEY '' lol ..

Them and Madonna showed thier true colours when they tried to close down Napster .. proved they are only in the buisness for £££££££ not the music ...

Nice! Heat + rep. Thanks.

They have hundreds of live shows catalogued now, archived and modern so it's not too much of a hassle for them to spread some free love.

New album comes out on the 12th, this is a little bit of positive PR to stoke a bit of interest in it I guess.

Don't know how long it's been running though.

People talk about Metallica wanting people to stop stealing their music as though Metallica were in the wrong.

Good for them for wanting to stop illegal music downloads.

Oh yeah, awesome, Rockin' man

Mis-belief: there is no 'stealing' music, is called copyright infringement

Also for some reason the music industry thinks that for every single 'illegally' downloaded, they've lost money - not so, they would only lose money if the person downloading would have bought it. I'm not really into music at all and the artist should get rewarded for their effects, but it peeves me off the fact the music industry over here is trying to be like the guys in America. They should push for some sort of flat fee/ tax system instead.

They're waking up to the fact people still want to buy/ pay for their stuff

heat and rep added
