Now for those of you who have heard of this band you may recall them becoming unpopular with fans for filing a lawsuit against Napster. Well, even though they were right about that, this should get the gullible angry-

"MONTREAL — Metallica are taking legal action against independant Canadian rock band Unfaith over what they feel is unsanctioned usage of two chords the band has been using since 1982 E and F.

"People are going to get on our case again for this, but try to see it from our point of view just once," stated Metallica's Lars Ulrich. "We're not saying we own those two chords, individually - that would be ridiculous. We're just saying that in that specific order, people have grown to associate E, F with our music."

ok at the risk of appearing gullible, this has got to be a joke right?? -?
Ha ha yes it's a joke. This actually was picked up by a whole bunch of local news networks who didnt bother to run a check on the story.
lol


it was the line that went something like

"the band, that have been have using the chords of E and F since 1982"

that signalled something fishy to me !

If the story it were true I think my old band would've been sued a few times...not that we ever released a CD or anything though. )
