Something tells me this isn't one of Lars's decisions.
It says right in the article that it's because license term limits are expiring...
[QUOTE=Protocol7;40225339]It says right in the article that it's because license term limits are expiring...[/QUOTE] Yeah just saw that. Feelin' stupid.
You ain't stupid, you just ain't reading the article. :v:
Wait, will this happen to all songs or is it just going to effect a few? Like is it normal for song DLC to be on a timed license?
This is the only pack affected from 07, some from 08 will be as well but they will be announced in June or July, with time to purchase before they are pulled [editline]9th April 2013[/editline] [QUOTE=legolover122;40225466]Wait, will this happen to all songs or is it just going to effect a few?

who cares. metallica sucks anyway
[QUOTE=kevlar jens;40225686]who cares. metallica sucks anyway[/QUOTE] Finally someone who agrees with me not only are they fucking whores for their cash (like they will literally suck anything dry of money they can via suing) but their music is shitty and boring as fuck anyway
[QUOTE=Trogdon;40225629] It's normal, the license was for 5 years but this one wasn't able to be renewed.[/QUOTE] Oh so in most cases it gets renewed? [sub][sub]Making sure I don't need to rush to the PSN store and buy a shitload of songs before they all go[/sub][/sub]
[QUOTE=OzJackal;40225700]calm down dave[/QUOTE] i am calm. knowing that fewer people in this world will be victims to the atrocities of metallica's music really brought a sense of peace and tranquility in my very soul.
Plebs
[QUOTE=kevlar jens;40225686]who cares. metallica sucks anyway[/QUOTE] I think they are good.

Victims? I get it that you don't like their music and all that, but just because people hve different tastes doesn't make them victims.

This is probably because Metallica still has an exclusive contract with Activision due to Guitar Hero: Metallica (despite Guitar Hero not being developed anymore). I do have some hope that it can be reacquired in the future. Activision had a similar contract with Aerosmith because of GH: Aerosmith, but there was a 6-pack of Aerosmith songs released for Rock Band in January this year, so the exclusivity must have expired.
I hate the idea that the moment you're making money with your art, it stops being good.
[QUOTE=Kabstrac;40227332]it probably has to do with the songs being on Guitar Hero Metallica[/QUOTE] No, it's because the five-year license expired and won't be renewed. It's not that it CAN'T be renewed, it just WON'T because Harmonix is closing up shop with RB. Their director even mentioned that other songs are likely to disappear as their licenses run out, but promised that that won't happen for "at least another three months".

Also I think you can get the metallica songs currently from the PSN store or the Xbox store.
[QUOTE=Zillamaster55;40225944]If I were to say this about any of your favorite bands you'd throw a shitfit[/QUOTE] Well my only favorite band is the Foo Fighters so if you're going to tell me they're shit then ok, but it's just a fact that Metallica fucking suck, they are just so bad and dull eurghhh how could you even listen to them for 5 minutes

[QUOTE=Dead Madman;40231036]ok here's a source listen to one of their songs without wanting to commit suicide there's your proof detective[/QUOTE] Off of their newer albums? Yeah maybe, but they're Black Album and before is pretty damn good.

youre all plebs I can't hear you all over how good my music taste is
Kill Em' All is an amazing album that revolutionized Heavy Metal, was the inspiration of many heavier and more mainstream bands, and put Thrash Metal on the spot. And as much as I hate to admit it, their self-titled also heavily influenced the mainstream rock bands. Go fuck off, not all their music sounds like St. Anger and Lulu
