Older Metallica fans will probably say the band sold out after the Justice album...

i don't think they sold out, i think they grew as musicians.. as people our tastes vary and our likes vary.. this happens throughout life..
if they played the same kind of music (such as kill 'em all) as die hard fans would like, I would consider that selling out. (yes, catering to the 'norm' of society is selling out also, but in that facet, most all of society has 'sold out'.
if you listen to the albums, there is growth in all of them, from raw garage sound (kill 'em all) to anger and awakening (justice) to growing up (black)... rough outline only.. just for making a point...
was a fan for years, no longer a fan.

they did not sell out, they observed a organic progression as artists. As for megadeth, if somebody needed to argue that they offered out you will would desire to pass back lots extra than danger. Countdown to Extinction is extremely like the black album in many techniques and Cryptic Writings is particularly poppy. not that i'm asserting that's undesirable or that they offered out the two, reason the did not. They greater and in some techniques have been given extra advantageous regardless of if diverse. As for St Anger, the case i could make for it setting up the nu steel sub-variety is that the songs are very concentrated on the rhythm and don't look to have different verses/refrain. And it is not purely a loss of solos, it has no breaks of any variety, so the songs purely repeat one piece of song persistently and throughout returned.

Music always changes when people change.
You make good music when you are poor and living on the road.
But after you get rich you turn into whiny puses
It happens to every band. But believe me metallica before the black album.....was no sell out.
Some dumb as punk rockers came up with the whole "sell out thing" so it should only apply to sissy boy punk

Metallica definitely sold out, but it was before the Black Album. As soon As Cliff Burton died and Lars decided he was the man in charge (hence the whole Napster issue) they started going down hill. I admit I still like SOME of the music on the Black Album, but that was the beginning of their demise.

No, don't say such bullshit, sorry for the expression.Their worst album by the public is St. Anger, but I think it wasn't that bad. Metallica still rule. GOD BLESS METALLICA

Any band that sales their music for profit is a sale out. So technically Metallica sold out on Kill'em All

Metallica changed because their enviroment changed.
Music can change when people change.
As people get older their politcal and moral views often change, and that largely effects their music.

Yep. I used to be a big fan but now they just kinda sicken me. The napster thing really ticked me off, then they started destroying classic songs like Whiskey in the Jar and Turn the Page. *shudders*

I think Metallica sucks period and the fact that they led the charge to destroy the greatest and purest joy of my generation (Napster) leads me to believe that they're money hungry whores.
