Metallica, only "political" when their paycheck is threatened. I'm old enough to remember.

It was far too easy to peddle viruses on it. What we have now is better.

Yeah this is also when I realized they were full of it.

They're likely fine with being political but know their particular politics would tank them so chose to stay quiet.

Yeah, they've been trash ever since then...who did they think they were "winning" against? The Internet? Fucking morons, everything has to be commodified and sold for a profit with assholes like this. Like they hadn't made a decent living at that point, while poor kids (literally middle/high schoolers) wanted to check out their music without having to work while still in school. What is the point of all this fucking greed? "Can't take it with you"
