Is Metallica Milking Their Fans With a $25 Monthly Fee?

from Classic Metal Show · host The CMS Network

Metallica used to be the band for the everyday working-class metalhead, but their latest business move says otherwise. Now asking fans to pay up to $25 a month just for the privilege of streaming concert audio and video, people are starting to wonder when enough is enough. Add in mid-tier hair metal bands selling overpriced used gear and cut-out magazine photos at their merch tables, and it feels like the music industry is running a total shake-down. Are fans finally going to put their foot down?Watch commercial free and without delayed publishing by becoming a CMS VIP at https://classicmetalshow.locals.comAll comments are merely the opinions of the people speaking them, are for comical performance, and are in no way stated as factual.
