Hoi!
I have the same opinion like you :-)

@TheME666TAL Yeah, well Ed points it out really well in this video. It's a bandwagon, it's fashionable to label Metallica as sellouts among "true metalheads". For me they are just the true posers. Metallica has done a lot of songs and albums not caring a single shit what their "true" fans are going to say about it (for example ReLoad, Lulu, One). Metallica did four of some of the greatest thrash records ever, that's more than enough for one band. Changing sound is not selling out.

@ClosetTable it baffles me that any band doing something with Lou Read can possibly be considered selling out, he's one of the most non-commercial musicians in the business

You speak truth, good sir.
When people call bands sell-out it really makes me mad. Its like, jeez, let the musicians make the music the feel like making.

@ClosetTable That and the whole Bob Rock era

@ClosetTable Actually St Anger was incredibly formulaic and nu metal -y (i actually like nu metal but that's beside the point) and when they got criticism they tried to follow it up with the uninspired and unintresting death magnetic to try and make up for it. Besides their ridiculous ticket pricing over marketing and law suits they're a great band.

i only think i heard the words "sellout" and "poser" in the metal community (when i comes to music) I just think it show how commit, and how much you metal heads love your bands. Maybe thats why they say your the best fans in the world. (but u may also be the most brutal)
But all that sellout is bull. yeah sure of the guys in the hair bands of the 80s sold out, for the fame. Sellout would be metallica not acting their age, and still looking and player the teen music
-
They are listening to Ensiferum - cool!

metallica maybe didnt intend to sell out they didnt know what else to do and producers took control of something they didnt understand . . .Just look at megadeth. . .Dave Mustain kept Metallica revalent by not being in the band . . .and he brought sophistication to the metal class he influnced if not invented
I THINK INFIDEL IS METAL JESUS :-O

@Hitchhikeroftheyear If you think that making Lulu was selling out, you dont obviously understand a shit about what selling out means. With Lulu and St. Anger Metallica actually prove they are not trying to sell out, but they are in fact doing what they want to do.
You just like to stick the sell out sticker to Metallica because it's fashionable to do so among dickhead poser metalheads like you.
