There were actually a lot of bands and artists that released music to benefit the WM3.
Henry Rollins spearheaded a cd back in early 2000's with many artists like Lemmy, Iggy pop, Chuck D, Rancid, Corey Taylor, Rancid etc..
I think Eddie Vedder and the supersuckers released a song together for the WM3 as well..
There have been a lot of people behind getting these guys released, I think Eddie Vedder and Natalie Maines (Dixie Chicks) even went to the courthouse when the 3 were released.
If anyone doesn't know much about this case, there are some good documentaries out there called Paradise lost. It got some attention because it was the first time Metallica allowed their music to be used in a movie way back when it was made.
That said, it's sad that they had to confess to get released.
