So, I wanted to make the title "Santa wishes HIS stockings were this badass". But it didn't fit. In turn, that lame little pun will have to suffice.

Where is the pun?
|
| |
Metallica can't get anymore dumb.
|
| |
I replaced "Merry" with "Metal". Like I said, lame.
|
| |
Not really a pun so much as a play on words.
Anyway, Metallica have actually surpassed The Misfits in marketing now. The Fiend Shop has some pretty goofy merchandise, but this... wow.

Wow, that merchandise was completely ridiculous. Talk about milking yourself to death.

Yea, they are the biggest sellout in the history of music, but not because of this merchandise. This isn't a news falsh though.
This merchandise only adds to Metallica's ridiculousness (I just made up this word, isn't it great). I for one think this merchandise is dumb.
|
| |
That's not a pun. At all.
Kiss is the biggest sellout in history.
But pajamas?

Is Metallica just about the money now or are they about sucking balls and sinking to a new low? Lets here some opinions on this. Please pick between the two options and state why you feel this way! This Message Edited On 12.16.06

Who the fuck says it has to be about money? Maybe, just maybe they thought their fans would enjoy this memorabilia.
|
| |
Psh, I seriously doubt that.
|
| |
Who the hell would buy this stuff besides major fanboys?
|
| |
[quote=mudwaynian]It isn't like they are trying to sell things that aren't going to be bought.[/quote]
No that would be a pretty shitty sell-out tactic.

Metallicaman8,
I can see what you mean, but ask yourself this: Do bands that truly make great music really need to capitalize off of their fans because they feel their career is going down the tubes? Sounds like a Kiss thing to me.
