danyc Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 A friend just sent me this info and was all geeked out about it. Curious, but seriously wonder about the pressing quality of these? Will be following this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing says helping out the little guy like Metallica....I think they have long ago proven they only care about the dollars, and why shouldn't they after they have worked to get where they are. They have workers to pay and families to feed, they can't tour and are looking to get the funds where they can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not every town has a cool record store. Maybe this release is for the kid who picks it up in nowheresville USA and it changes his life. I also think its pointless to adhere DIY punk mentality to a band of Metallica’s level.

They shop at Walmart. Metallica can take advantage of that. Fuck ‘em. People who support small business typically also appreciate & support good, honest, independent music. People like you and me. I fully agree with you: Fuck Walmart. holyvacantsholyhell 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sugareggs Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 9 minutes ago, drewberinger said: cool record stores also have online shops - fuck Walmart I totally agree. Fuck Walmart. But everyone has to start somewhere. If someone new to vinyl picks up some titles from Walmart and then continues by searching out independent avenues, then it’s a win all around. If if you don’t like it, don’t buy it, but I see no reason to deny other people easy access to getting into vinyl.

twatay Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 Imagine getting upset over Metallica reissuing their classic records exclusively with the country’s biggest retailer (and distributor) in 2020. piky0032, superpeephole, MrScorpio and 5 others 3 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mitchard Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 (edited) Metallica's fan base is huge, and I seriously doubt a high percentage of them are actively seeking out exclusive pressings at independent shops. Their main target is casual shoppers, but both Walmart and the labels know they will also get record nerds in there with these exclusive pressings. They are just trying to move units - that's really their ONLY objective. I mean, fuck Walmart and all. But come on. Do we actually think labels like Elektra give a shit about supporting independent record stores? This cash-in on repressing vinyl is just a way continue profiting off of these albums. Edit: Apparently these are being release through Metallica's label, Blackened Recordings, not Elektra. So it's Metallica as a business entity that doesn't care. Same thing, though.

holyvacantsholyhell Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 I mean fuck Walmart yeah but... cmon. This makes every kind of sense. Sure they could’ve done some indie releases spread across the country... but why would they do that when they’ll sell tens of thousands of records this way?

Boaty McBoatface Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 What’s really pathetic is that Metallica is still going to profit off 30+ year old albums in 2020. How could anyone not know who they are, or not already have the albums they like? I guarantee Enter Sandman is playing on a local radio station somewhere right now.
