Reasons Why Metallica Should Not Be So High on the "Biggest Sellouts of the History of Music" List.
Metallica is accused of selling out with the Black Album.Through the Never, Of Wolf and Man, My Friend of Misery, and The Struggle Within. I'm willing to bet most people who accuse Metallica of selling out haven't listened to the Black Album except those five singles.
Artists change their music all the time, but that doesn't make them sellouts. With this logic you might as well admit that Megadeth sold out with Countdown to Extinction. Other bands that "sold out" could include Slayer, Genesis, Yes (with 90125), Deep Purple (started as progressive rock before moving to hard rock), King Crimson (with discipline), Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Opeth, Kansas, Aerosmith, Jeff Beck, etc.
Either you continue playing the exact same music for your entire career or you experiment and try out new genres at the risk of becoming a "sellout".
Best album in my opinion
The songs are awesome
ES is considered one of the best Metallica songs.
It's no secret that Megadeth has the worst fanbase in Metal.
Enter Sandman, Unforgiven, Sad But True, Nothing Else Matters, etc.
Nothing Else Matters
