Hi I'm Dave

Post by dave2000 »

Hi there, not sure if anyone is still around from when this site started, I guess that was 20 years ago now :) Had too much time to think lately and came back to this site. It's frankly amazing you guys have kept it going. Just briefly looking over the names: Poolzer, Visigod, MetDream, no leaf clover, I'm sure I am missing a few important people!

I read the About page and the Introduce Yourself section and whoever wrote this stuff was too kind.

I hope everyone is doing well and you keep the site going!

#### I'm Old Now, Random Old Person Thoughts From Here ####

When the site first started it was basically just to make Metallica Bootlegs more accessible to the average Metallica Fan. Metallica for good reason was putting the brakes on our site and many others at that time. The Original inspiration and online bootleg pioneer site was Metshrine. Metshrine was awesome and no one will ever top them. They cleared the path for Metallica Bootlegs online. I can't remember how they eventually shut down but my site was one of the spinoff's and I was fortunate to pickup a number of they're former staff members. For a brief time we had some major FTP servers sharing bootlegs and a really awesome community of fans. Poolzer, JBX, Guitargirl, Visigod, Talon* and many others were great people and created an awesome community.

At this point it's after midnight and I tomorrow is a busy day apparantley. I wish I could have come up with some cooler shit to say. But I'm just amazed this site is still going and it seems there are some pretty awesome fans and staff still keeping it going!

Wish eveyone the best and maybe I wil post again.

I'll try to attach some old images incase the staff members think this is BS :)

I'm glad to hear back from you Dave. It's been a "big" while since we've heard from you. Thanks for sharing the images, we will update the Metpage history page with them.
