| Metallica Vault wird geschlossen || 26.05.2005 |
     |
Tja, wie soeben bekannt wurde, wird ab dem 6. Juni der Metallica Vault geschlossen. Hier konnte man ja diverse, wenn auch leider nur inpcomplete Gigs downloaden. Jedoch soll dann monatlich unter www.livemetallica.com was neues angeboten werden. Lassen wir uns mal überraschen.
Hier der Bericht der www.metallica.com Page dazu:
THE METALLICAVAULT WEBSITE TO CLOSE
05.26.2005
We have some good news and bad news about the closure of The Metallicavault.com website.
First, the bad news:
We are sorry to announce that, effective on June 6, 2005, the Metallica Vault (www.metallicavault.com) will cease operation.
Since it started in June 2003 (with the release of St. Anger), the Vault has been a unique haven for us (as well as you) to offer live shows from throughout Metallicas history for download to anyone who had an access code (provided inside copies of the St. Anger CD). In that time, 18 shows were posted, and over 250.000 fans checked out the site and over 20 million free downloads flowed through cyberspace.
We opened the Vault in conjunction with our friends at Speakeasy, who were kind enough to provide the bandwidth and logistics. However, the expenses of hosting and maintaining the site for two years did not quite add up to the returns they were hoping for - unfortunately the internet is not free to those who make it possible.
Now the good news:
There will be an abbreviated version of the Vault that will live on through www.livemetallica.com in the form of monthly free downloads - each month we will offer you a few songs that you may have seen there and some that you have not. You will need to register again, but you will not need that pesky key. We would like to thank everyone who supported the Vault during its run, Speakeasy, the labels (who let us post the shows without any hassles), and THE FANS, who not only supported the site by checking it out so much, but also helped by providing us with live shows from their own archives! You guys rule. But you knew that already. We hope that you all agree with us that the Vault was a positive experience for everyone involved. As always, feel free to let us know what you think - we know you aint shy!
So be sure to get all your downloading from www.metallicavault.com before the site closes on June 6th!
