================================================ Subject: Re: Creed and Metallica From: "Creed - 7M3 - Live" To: Date: Sun 4 Nov 2001 14:35:39 -0500 ================================================ I think that the whole album preview. That is put on by Creed and wind-up is a great thing for prospective fans and existing fans. You are probably right about what Met will do. They will probably only offer samples. Have very tight security to the material. I guess I was not a true Metallica fan. Since the issue made me decide on abandoning their previous efforts. I'll most likely buy the Weathered album. Regardless, if it is all available from alternative sources or not. If the new Metallica album sounds interesting. I'm sure that I will consider purchasing their new release. Hopefully, Met will be able to overcome their alienation that the Napster issue caused. I imagine that there are still a great number of remaining Met fans. The Napster revolters are most likely low in numbers. Jim ------------------- Keith P.
