I don't bother with the sellout debate, but here's my opinion on their releases...Kill Em All-classic, Ride the Lightning-classic, Master of Puppets-classic, ...And Justice For All-classic, Black Album-classic but mainstream, Load-a few good tracks but bad overall, Reload-sucks, Garage Inc.-good, S&M-different but appealing, St. Anger-garbage their worst release, Death Magnetic-decent.
@arketreyu so megaDETH are dead? why are they still alive? SLAYER, when have they slayed someone? ANTHRAX, they are a poison? EXODUS, i don't see them doing anything religious? TESTAMENT, them too? OVERKILL, are they on a killing spree? IRON MAIDEN, i haven't seen them go into one yet? KREATOR, what did they create? DESTRUCTION, what did they destroy? in school when i get ASSignments why is there no pictures of asses?
I love MetallicA. I have followed there music trends since the late 80's. I have appreciated their music in all it's eb and flows. I can understand how the un-observant would think that they have sold out. But you can't sell out when your plan was to run the band like a business from day one. Lars is a business man, and although James is the drive behind the music, Lars makes no excuse for making a bucket load of cash along the way. They are still about the fans, and the shit out now rocks hard.
WOW...this thing shines so much light on my life now...the world makes so much sense to me....THANK YOU for making this....i understand everything about metallica, sell outs, and cell phones...THANK YOU...
dude why would someone care if a band sold out, becoz at the end of the day, its just 4 guys making music where it takes them, they dont just decide how they want there music.
ok metallica never sold out they just changed there style of music...thats like comparing kill em all to master of puppets...it's different but people still love both. People will always think that metallica sold out no matter how good their music that comes out later is just because it's hard to change people minds once they believe in something. And if you think metallica sold out just watch the metallica inducts black sabbath into hall of fame video...if you don't like music who almost cries
well metallica is band... and like all bands they want more fans and ppl to be proud of their music. So they want more fans...so do all bands and if a band doesn't want a lot of fans then there is something wrong with them
@Rish666101 There were a bunch of band dedicated Guitar Heros before Metallica's, and Metallica didn't actually make the game, they just helped the designs of it. So either way, it was gonna be made. =/
@Rish666101 what about Aerosmith, Van Halen, The Beatles, and Green Day. They've all had video games too and they never sold out. All Metallica did was drift away from their style. It happens to almost every artist.
@88fanforlife megadeth have already sold out begore that... risk, cryptic writings, youthanasia and countdows to extinction were the era that they sold out...
yea metallica sold out... every ticket for there concerts and gigs! you must be a megadeth fan... if you are look at them... they still open shows occasionally while metallica is the main event! hell megadeth even opened for metallica and i laughed so hard
i totally agree with u the point in music industry is to reach as many people as you can cause that's what you wanna so you want to spread your message but you want to live from that too so you aren't going to do it for free
@skaterdylan101 1st kill em all and master of puppets is the same style, they just turned more melodic and technally 2nd you must not know what sold out means...
@skaterdylan101 In the beginning, they encouraged people to copy, bootleg, and trade their material for purposed of exposure. Then years later they were suing people for doing the digital equivalent, and IMO that's when it became apparent they sold out, but hey that's just my opinion
Ok you guys are losing touch with reality here... Metallica stated that they would NEVER do a video in an interview Hetfield himself said that a video would mean they sold out.A place like you tube wouldn't even exist if Lars had his way. Cliff was not even around when James made the quote about videos(RIP)
Lars was specifically addressing revenue when he made the comment This topic has nothing to do with Cliff. Nice try !
Oh Mr. Bust-a-cap, I think your the one that was dropped on his head at birth. Have you ever heard of Viacom & the ongoing saga with You Tube?
The entire dispute is over people "illegally" uploading songs without the copyright holders permission, payment to the artist for song & their intellectual property rights. Which is exactly what Lars Ulrich was so angry about, he felt people were stealing their music. I know it sucks when one of your idols turns out to be full of sh*t!
I think that someone needs to watch Cliff'em All again. Cliff says that in the video. I always thought it was ironic that they put cliff saying that they would never do a video in a video about Cliff.
almost every thrash metal band have said the same! i think it was cool with metallica music video's! i can see them on tv at night! but cliff also we always gona try something new. if people gona call ous sell-out for that i dont care! cant remember words for words but its right anyway! when cliff died..its was a new era for metallica! so why not try to make a music video when the reaches other people over the world! isnt that music is about..people should hear someones music! tv is the best way
LOL "IF" they sold out, they have BEEN SOLD OUT FOR YRS, after they said they would never make a music video, and then made "one" Not to mention Lars making a HUGE deal about their songs on P2P ( thats right Lars doenst like you using Limewire...he wants you to be sued and P2P networks shut down...Metallica is a Joke!!!
hey, just cause their well known there not alowd to have opinions?? so what lars dosent like P2P im sure he has his reasons, and like with the video thing, the world changes, video's were and pretty much are, all the rage! but yah, they made a mistake XD
they didnt sell out.they shouldve sued napster.people are stupid to think what they did was wrong. if someone stole something from you, you would beat the shit outta them. what if people hated you for it? thats like what happened with metallica and it doesnt make sense. btw if you call metallica sell outs,your calling Cliff a sell out he said " we do what we want.and people consider that selling out,what ever." they didnt sell out, the stayed true to what they said, yet people hate em
The only thing Metallica sold out is arenas, stadiums and events. Enough of this stupidity. From the black album to Load there was a definite change. Ok, fine. I didn't like it either. But calm down!
Let us not get to crazy here. The fact is that a producer approached them and said" if you play like this you will make more money". They said ok and changed. That is what selling out is. Changing for the money.
If metallica didnt sell out, then why did their fans smash their "black" album after release?
