Is this for real? Where did they get the Idea for this suit? Spike Lee? What kind of damage is a Independant Canadian band doing to Metalica? Promote this thread! | | Whitebacon

I take solace in that picture of Lars that makes him look like a raving retard.
Harley-Davidson sued once to trademark the sound their bikes make. Wouldn't this fall under something similar?
Edit: I checked out his website ( www.erikashley.com )and, yes, it is.

I'll give you a hint, it involves the words This! and Scoop. ;) | Whitebacon

And quite frankly, isn't it sad that Metallica are such weaselly bastards that this ridiculous story has an air of plausibility to it? It's like the "Asterisk" feature at fametracker.com | Keeper

That is what is at the bottom of the page from the link. It had me fooled at first.

I can't believe anyone would think this is a decent parody. Everybody knows that all shitty Metallica stories on MTVNews.com are written by Jon Wiederhorn. | Guru Zim

| #16 Posted on 20.7.03 2314.03 Reposted on: 20.7.10 2314.36 | This news I actually believed at first with many others and pissed me off a little, considering I just saw Metallica and they pulled off a GREAT live show (starting the show with Battery, then an extra-long version of Master of Puppets would make any metal fan happy), and I figured afterwards, "Maybe the old Metallica is coming back around finally?" Then I see they sued a band over 2 notes. At least it ain't true, and all the more credit to NoSoul for fooling so many. | Nag
