LYRICS:

Only rapper to be called a thief without stealing
Download an MP3 for free, these people hit the ceiling
I'm just a citizen that's teaching you a lesson
for restricting my freedom of expression
How can ideas be possessions when they're freely replicable?
Hence unapplicable property laws are reprehensible
Didn't Jefferson express his opinion on the matter
when he said inventions shouldn't be given a patent
What happened to that thinking, we're stuck in a pattern
where the people with everything are keeping everything from us who haven't
We want it back, look, fed up of adverts, left and right
begging me to buy til there's nothing left of mine
to spend, never mind, who's next in line to testify
that we need laws like these to protect our rights?
Medicine has never been something I'd ever deprive
especially when a life depends on it to survive
Yeah, it takes an incredible effort to develop them right
but putting wealth over health, I said it's never been right

I'm just a citizen that's teaching you a lesson
for restricting my freedom of expression, and I reckon
if old blues themes hadn't been used by Led Zeppelin
we wouldn't ever have any heavy metal then
the history of music would have never even happened
and amusingly there wouldn't even be a Metallica
to tell us that we should hang on the gallows of law
so we wouldn't even need to have a Gallo Report
Oh and by the way the fricking Gallo's support
is made of signatures which have been apparently forged
This shit is sinister, and cannot be allowed to enforce
so tell your ministers and MEPs of how it's been brought about
Although you'll probably get a shallow retort
because the lobbyists have got a grip around all their balls
If I was boss, I'd tell them get the Hell out the door
because I've had enough of corrupt crooks ramming through laws

I'm just a citizen that's teaching you a lesson
for restricting my freedom of expression
Yes, and deep packet inspection? squeeze that up your rectum
If your postman did that to you you'd be having him sectioned
arrested for meddling in your private affairs
But it's only online, right? so why should we care?
Because digital rights should be applicable right
here in real life, and we're not criminals, right?
So this is just why we'll never give up the fight
to be considered innocent until we kick up and die
Giving internet providers responsibility
for the whims of their subscribers infringes privacy
Before the internet, media was a rarity
but how do you expect it to keep its value without scarcity
And that's what scares me, seeing their cons and schemes
to stop their creaking business model being obsolete
What a robbery they pull off so obviously
Don't give a fuck who it affects as long as it's not me
Well I'll keep making copies, see if they can stop me
They'll have to confiscate my PC and take it off me
See there's no problem with taking my property
for creating some lines of binary, blatant hypocrisy
Afraid to face the controversy relating to what we need
Making a profit off it or breaking monopolies

A friend of mine has a 'Metallica' version of one of these systems, and it came with a double pedal.

I have barely played these game systems before, but I do play the drums (with a double bass pedal), and we played Metallica 'One' all the way through the first try with myself on the drums. It was seriously fun, and felt like we accomplished this thing as a team.

Learning the drums (and many other instruments) can be difficult when its just you, imagining the other parts or playing along with a recording. The greatest thing about these systems is how they allow you to 'perform' in an interactive way with the music you enjoy, so you're practicing rudiments with a band, of-sorts, and at your leisure.



>> ^Shepppard:

To be fair, he is technically cheating.
I don't much care about the repositioning of things, but he's using a double-kick bass pedal.
If he can play this without that, then I'd be absolutely shocked.
Still impressive though.

The fuck is up with his "I listen to Metallica post-2000" goatee?

Wait, this is Apocolyptica? I haven't listened to them in a very long time but when I did all they did was play Metallica songs on Cellos. When did they start sounding like Nickelback?

need just one more vote.great live video from them.

>> ^kulpims:
damn! can't seem to enjoy even Metallica's pre-black album songs anymore. I hate them nearly as much as I loved them in those highschool metal dayz


Why? (hating takes up so much mental energy I need a really good reason usually...others don't seem to have a higher threshold for emotional entanglement than I, however.

man i used to like metallica. used to

Interesting concept but I wonder if OCR will ever truly get good enough - and fast enough - for me to be able to use a device like that.

No, I mean, I know OCR's getting very good, it's just that I write like I'm defacing a Metallica concert poster.

Awesome video. Goes well with Metallica's Call of Ktulu. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sWGOEWdV13M
Did you noticed that part of the shuttle is burned up at around 6:00?

It's definitely not their best work, but I only discovered it last night after some heavy smoking and a few drinks. It has sentimental value to me.

Apparently RHCP wrote the song after conducting a private concert with some other heavyweights (Metallica and a few others) up in Resolute Bay, Nunavut back in 1992. A few people I knew bought tickets and attended.

Some of the lyrics are very poignant - "Desperate and it shows". My home is rife with poverty, alcoholism, etc. At this point I'm rambling so I'll stop. I understand where you're coming from on the screen shot.

Dunno man, I have never been able to justify a song with a screen shot-SO much music I'd love to publish that has no video content-OK...Her's an unsolicited review of the song-Non-sequitur cliche, simple, unappealing melody, whiny delivery. RHCP's have done much better-they lost their steam after Californication-Time for the boys to retire to their life of tours, live shows, and playing the hits over and over to less-than-packed crowds of 30-somethings.....The Foghat syndrome.
