I was unable to find the source for this interview.  The following page opens up an hour long interview broken into nine parts by the person who posted it, because youtube doesn't have them arranged in order on their website I arranged them in order here.

 I was at Patrick's house {I.C.E. editor} doing some work and hit youtube to show him the video Metallica released for "The Day That Never Comes"  Love the video for Day that never comes, felt like I was on patrol with those men.  The end of the video shows what the liberal press never shows - That our soldiers help civilians.  The Iraqi people love us because our men have died helping them; Metallica showed our servicemen as they are.  Few bands say "thank-you" to their roadies in a recording but on Some Kind of Monster Live  Metallica thanked their roadies; as a roadie I appreciate that.  However I appreciate far more the respect and understanding you have shown for our servicemen in that video.  Thank-you Metallica!!

 I fished around and found bootlegs of all songs on the Death Magnetic album.  My review follows

Intense Christian Entertainment review of Death Magnetic by Metallica hit the read more link.

Brian 'Head' Welch just uploaded a preview for another song on the upcoming album 'Save Me From MySelf' (out this Sept). The song (Die Reglion Die), of course, rocks my socks. If you haven't already checked it out, read the previously posted 3 little mini-reviews from various sites, all which give major thumbs up to the new CD. Hit the MySpace to check out the goods!

If you remembered, Open Grave Records free download weekend is on right now. In fact TODAY is the last day of the download weekend so we're downloading and head slamming to FLA, Elgibbor and Kekal. Head over to Open Grave and start downloading now!

Years ago I was preaching that the RIAA and all the record labels were making a mistake by not embracing the new technology. They threatened lawsuits, introduced DRM, made it difficult to use the stuff we bought and owned.

Part of it was that they knew there would be a problem: artists could partially if not fully bypass their companies in order to reach consumers. Artists could penetrate the bureaucracy. Their reaction did make sense in some ways, but otherwise all they managed to do was piss off consumers.

Meanwhile it's readily apparent that the latest generation of music enthusiasts see nothing with downloading music. It does not even register that artists might have a problem with fans doing as such. It's their livelihood, after all; do I like it that the Russian mafia stole and distributed Eternal War: Shadows of Light? For example, my own wife used to gladly download everything she listens to. She never visited music stores, orders CDs, or purchases digital music. But she did like going to concerts and buying T-shirts, etc.

Fortunately bands are finally figuring out they are being hoodwinked by the record labels. The tech and theirs fans are not the enemies. They just need to figure out to best manage the emerging music market.

I ran into this interesting article on ArsTechnica today:

Indie bands talk digital music and life without the labels

More Webisodes from our boys from Becoming the Archetype. This time they travel up to Vancouver (in British Columbia) to record the drums for 'Dichotomy'.
