[QUOTE="audioholic, post: 7087409, member: 549629"] Do you know when Metallica started out, they were a group of guys living in an abandoned building? By the time Black came out, they were all millionaires, and their sound changed so radically they sounded like a different band (albeit with the same vocals). The rolling guitar riffs of the original albums were gone, the only-used-once-per-song lyrics (because they had a specific message/story to tell) were gone, replaced with repeating chorus lines, and fancy videos. If you dont call that selling out, Id be curious to know what you do call selling out. I dont mean this as a 'get off my lawn!' comment, but I was listening to tallica before you were born. It was pretty obvious, even as soon as Black came out, that they were trying to appeal to a different audience. Yes, they most definitely sold out, for fame and fortune. As a matter of fact, even And Justice For All was a transition album between old tallica, and new tallica. But it had enough of the old style that I still consider it as part of their original style. By Black, the old tallica was dead and buried. [/QUOTE]
