Memo to Metallica: Learn more chords. Also try to get some talent, so you don't have to spend so much time in court.

50,000 people go to a baseball game, but the game was rained out. A refund is then due. The team is about to mail refunds when the Congressional Democrats stopps them and decrees that they send out refund amounts based on the Democrat National Committee's interpretation of fairness. After all,if the refunds are made based on the price each person paid for the tickets, most of the money would go to the wealthiest ticket holders. That would be unconscionable! |

John Cage's estate may sue over the rests in their music, too.

I suppose they'll next sue some band for using electric guitars.

I had to check to make sure this wasn't from The Onion; it's that stupid. I'm a retired musician, and I can tell you that I've used a
lot of E and F chords in MY day. So did Henry Mancini (Pink Panther.)
Such silliness. And Metallica doesn't even realize how much they are embarassing themselves. LOL!

Well, next thing we know is that someone is going to sue the entire country, old rock and gospel musicians for using G, C and D.

"We're not saying we own those two chords, individually - that would be ridiculous. We're just saying that in that specific order, people have grown to associate E, F with our music." Get a clue, Lars. You can't copyright a chord progression.

Guido's estate may sue over a whole gamut of notes.

a trademark infringement suit against the indie group at the US district court What the hell is an "indie" group anyway? I always thought that was where the band was from. Apparently not - these guys are Canadian.
Metallica needs to lighten up. Sounds like their egos are getting a little inflated. What ever happened to, "it's about the music, dude!"?
