LOL, so true. I used to drive and listen to my own mixtapes. That was a while back ago.
The only time it is OK to drive and listen to your own tunes is if the music is work in progress and you are trying to find if it sounds good in the carcus I might change something otherwise.

Lars Ulrich is a tool and said he likes the loud version of the album better and he drives around listening to it. I think any artist who listens to their own music is a total tool.

Yea, but that kinda belongs in the studio rather than trying to see how something should sound in a noisy environment such as a car. It's one thing to listen to work on it, but to produce an album, then drive around listening to it after its released is just dumb. People say Metallica cares about the music and not the money. They must be stupid too because Lars Ulrich has always gone ape crap over people downloading music. They did get into music to get rich. I bet even before they were signed they still wanted people to pay for their music.
I have to agree with DJGeorge here, when I'm working on a mix, I try to listen to it through as many different systems as possible. I find the music sounds different on a home stereo, compared to a car stereo, or headphones. It also helps to keep in mind that most of the people that are going to hear this mix are using low end audio equipment. That being said, I am very careful to preserve the dynamic range in all my music, and to make sure that it does sound good through high end gear.
