I'll be honest with you, a lot of the stuff i listen to does not require absolute concentration and complete focus to create, but they don't have the kind of money where they can just sling it around in a wet paper sack at ducks in their free time, so they've got a lead on these other fellas. There's a required amount of effort that must be put into music, and when you're just making music to be able to keep doing coke and getting wasted blah blah blah etc., you're gonna lose your train of creativity. That's why Sabbath Bloody Sabbath was an inferior record, it lacked the feeling that Master of Reality and Black Sabbath did. Same deal with damn near every other band living the same lifestyle.

As for those who make and package CDs, i do appear to have forgotten about them, but i seriously doubt that they are also going to collapse from hoodlums downloading music. I, like every other pirate buy CDs, and much more frequently than before now that i have access to bands and the means to acquire their albums. I'll download the whole things, fuck it. I'd love to buy every one of the cds i have on my computer, but when was the last time a 16 year old had four thousand bucks to spend on cds?

I whine about Metallica because they garner so much acclaim for doing so very, very little.

What difference would getting a job make? I'm still going to download music.

Why have hamburger when you can have steak? If anything i'm just pissy that a band who could make decent albums like Kill 'Em All and Ride the Lightning would end up making something as gay as The Black Album. Come on guys, it sucked.
