I agree!
What a sellout means to me is a bands decision to move from the essence that made them to a format that will entice more of the populus.
Money Talks
Metallica is big business! There is more money to be made marketing to the pop culture rather than the metal heads. Changing and growing as a musician is wonderful. Changing your whole persona for more money is a bad thing.
Take a band like Def Leppard for instance they have stayed with their format and they still continue to kick ass.
Artist or businessmen?
When you hear metallica on radio stations that play Brittney Spears there is something totally BS about that.
If you call yourself a Metallica fan and you only like post Black album think again. You are not a true Metallica fan. Metallica is raw, in-your-face, kick-your-ass, emotion, and power. Not 4 farts in the wind with dollar signs in their eyes.
Someone turn the lights on!
