Good to know Lars is still a piece of shit and Metallica isn't worth listening to.
Doooon’t downloaaaaad this soooooong…
Oooh, yeah-haya!
And why shouldn't the artist have a say in how their music is used?
I'm not arguing that. They should. I know if I had music being used by trump to support his campaign I'd have some personal opposition to it. Lars is a special kind of asshole that I lost all respect for years ago so maybe I'm overly critical of him.
All that said, the military using a song in a training video is such a stupid thing to get worked up over. It's basically bitching about a fair use case, because it's not any kind of external promotion of the military. Just an internal video. Which is really an on brand example for Lars' special kind of cuntiness.
