Metallica Sue Canadian Band over E, F Chords (1 Viewer)

[Shawn C]

Ok, that's it. I have officialy had enough of Metallica now. I thought they were in the right with their Napster lawsuit (but I didn't approve of their methods).

But THIS is insane.

Nevermind, I'm a freaking idiot. Please delete.

Why are you an idiot?

Is this a hoax? If not, I woild say it does rank up there as about the dumbest thing I have ever read.

Cripes, I play guitar, and actually have been known to bang out E and F power chords (hard to play AC/DC without them). Should I be worried?

Methinks this has to be phoney, but its a funny read.

Cool - I just learned a bunch of Metallica songs on the gee-tar. Just think how many other songs I'd know if I could figure out those pesky G, C and D chords. Then again, I don't have enough to pay my lawyer should I learn all of them....

Is this a hoax?

Yes.

This reminds me of something The Onion would write

Don't feel bad, Ananova thought it was real too. They've since deleted their story though.

Wouldn't be surprised if it was true...

I'm gonna copyright the G and A chords so Metallica won't be able to play a single song in their entire catalog

Somebody should lock this thread before Metallica gets any ideas!!

Better also include alternate tunings. Many rock bands, Metallica included, tune down anywhere from 1/2 step to 1 1/2 steps. So for these guys, you need to make sure that you cover that as well.

Don't want these guys slipping by on a legal technicality!!

Of course, G and A would absolutely rip the nuts off most AC/DC songs since they tend to stay in standard tuning. Wouldn't want Angus to get pissed having to pay you royalties.

Highway to hell just wouldn't sound right if the opening chord were anything but A.
