MEGADETH's ELEFSON Says LARS ULRICH Was Right To Fight NAPSTER; Defends U2's APPLE Album Giveaway

MEGADETH bassist David Ellefson is the latest musician to offer his opinion on U2's recent collaboration with Apple that resulted in the Irish group's new album, "Songs Of Innocence", being placed on every single iTunes account in the world for free regardless of whether it was wanted or not.

Unlike many who felt that the placement of the album was an unwanted intrusion, free or not, Ellefson told JoeDaly.net: "Years ago, everybody wanted to hate on METALLICA and Lars Ulrich because he fought Napster. Well, duh! He was right. Now there's another big artist named Taylor Swift doing the same thing with Spotify. So it's easy to hate people when they're making bold moves that, quite honestly, the rest of us can't make. So it's easy to hate the 800-pound gorilla because everybody sees them as entitled and privileged and they get to do what the rest of us can't. But you know what? They work their asses off for it."

He continued: "I didn't buy the last U2 record; it was given to me by iTunes. [Laughs] I did listen to part of it on the airplane and there are U2-isms on there.

"I saw them when they played on 'The Tonight Show' after Jimmy Fallon took over there was a moment when the Edge picked up an acoustic guitar from behind the couch and started playing 'Stairway To Heaven'. I can tell a guy's musicianship within the first two to three bars of him touching the instrument, whether he's playing the drums or a piano or plucking an acoustic guitar. You can tell the quality of their craft within the first few notes, and U2 have it. They're a phenomenally great band. Whether you like their recent songs or not, whether you like some of the publicity moves they make or their business acumen, I have nothing but tremendous respect for that band."

Ellefson added: "I've always said, the hardest thing is to start a band and the second hardest thing is to keep a band together, and they've been doing it for a long, long time."

Of the 500 million iTunes accounts that received the U2 album in September, Apple reported that 33 million of them had accessed the record.

A public outcry from some iTunes users who felt that the stunt was intrusive led Apple to create a button by which customers could remove the album if they wanted. The album was released in October as a standard physical and digital purchase.

В музыке все уже сказано, теперь музыка должна умереть

Edmund Duke - согласен! как и кино.

p.s. а по теме - зачем мне покупать новые альбомы, если лучшие альбомы уже записаны и выпущены давно!

Ну реально нового и действительно красивого вряд ли что можно создать, для меня по крайней мере, тяжелая музыка уже достигла своего пика развития.
А по теме - дэвид все правильно сказал, и его скорее всего здесь обосрут многие.

Не понял связи.

как вырулил: начал с одной темы, потом ушел на другую...

"Я могу определить уровень музыканта за два — три такта по тому, как он обращается с инструментом, неважно играет он на ударных, на пианино или на акустической гитаре."

видимо, поэтому он не стал комментировать игру Ульриха

Сегодня ситуация в музыке похожа на средневековую. Менестрель мог сочинять и свои вещи, но если он хотел заработать денег, нужно было играть те баллады, которые знали все)

Еще одно подтверждение того, что для них всех музыка давно стала бизнесом.
Хорошо это или плохо - это уже другое дело.
Но если это бизнес -то будьте добры не лажать живьем хотя бы. Ну вы поняли, кого я имел ввиду.

Дэйви душка!

Музыка их хлеб, они имеют право сетовать на такие вещи как пиратство. Разве не так?

"Я могу определить уровень музыканта за два — три такта по тому, как он обращается с инструментом, неважно играет он на ударных, на пианино или на акустической гитаре." вымораживают такие высказывания... Ваще он мне не нравится, морда типичного басиста!!
