They been around for 27 fucking years. Asif they dont care about their fans. They have won grammies, they sellout every concert they ever announce, they have sold millions of albums and have millions of fans in countless countries. They once toured for 1 and a half years non stop. And you say they dont care about their fans? Stop hating and go listen to the new album. If you still think they are sellouts, provide me with a SHRED of fact or logic to support your bullshit claims. And dont you bring up that napster bullshit.
@Num3n
Metallicas first 4 albums, Kill Em All, Ride The Lightning, Master of Puppets, And Justice For All, will always remain their best 4 albums, and some of the best metal albums of all time. Having said that, out of every album to come out SINCE those four, the new album Death Magnetic is the best.
I'm still gonna buy it either way. They only have one "bad" album, St.Anger, Load and Reload were just an evolution in their sound, there are plenty of good songs on either one. The House that Jack Built, King Nothing, Ronnie, Slither, Carpe Deim Baby, Prince Charming etc.
I really dont have a fav between all the Metallica albums. Each and every album these guys produce, i own, and every single album is different from all the others. I havent checked out the newest album yet, however i am sure i will not be disappointed. Every album is marked on the top in my list. Black album, ride the lightning, master of puppets, S&M, load, reload, their first album, st anger, kill em all, justice for all...take your pic, they all ROCK! \m/

Everything you just listed is how they happen to make their money. You think they tour for the fans, and not the paychecks? Heh.
Have you noticed the fact, that you can download ~20 old Metallica albums totally free on their website?
No, because I don't listen to Metallica. They have 5 or 6 good songs I enjoy, but thats not very many considering how many they have.
Metallica has always been about money. If an album is available for free on their site, it's because they are no longer making decent money off of them.
I just looked, and I didn't see any full albums free.
Just heard - The Judas Kiss - I really like that song.

Smiling is infectious.
Give, expecting nothing thereof. ------------ BoD - Come have some fun! Folks will always come and go, so enjoy them while they're meant to be in your life.
@Stormcat - Agreed, Judas Kiss is wicked, probably one of the most catchy chrorus's metallica has ever had!
@Zoltrix - I cant really decide which album i like better between tba and dm, i spose the reason tba is a little off is because it took metallicas fast paced thrash metal sound and slowed it right down, complete with drop d tuning, and a drum riff that is exactly the same in every song but just sped up and slowed down.
@Murderface - i 100% agree with you
@Thas - rock on! \m/ :thumbsup:
@goodguy - honestly, theres only so far money can take you. They would have had enough money years ago to last them a lifetime. If they continue to sell millions of albums and have sellout shows which people rave about, then why not continue. And who cares if they make money - im happy to give it to them for what they have given me, fucking awesome metal up your ass! If they toured for the paychecks, they wouldnt have awesome shows like they do. For that matter, you could bring your bullshit argument up about any band. Bands tour, bands release albums, bands make money. What makes metallica so different?
This album is fucking heavy, some of the heaviest and wicked riffs I've ever heard on a Metallica album. Also the first piano intro :D. My favorites are Suicide & Redemption, Judas Kiss, That Was Just Your Life, The End of the Line, Cyanide, The Day that Never Comes, The Unforgiven III, and All Nightmare Long, pretty much the whole album XD. This is a proper Metallica album. I only have one complaint, and that is some of the lyrics didn't feel right. Guitar and Bass were spot on, multitude of wicked deedle'eedee solos. The drums were, well uniquely Ulrich:rolleyes:.
This site needs a facepalm emoticon.. Ahh, it's so nice to see how people can get lost in a discussion.
Guy says: "Metallica is a sell-out"
You say: "Tell me why you think that's true, because I think that they've done alot of good stuff specifically for fans *names some*"
Guy says: "Well that's because it's how they make money, all the things you named would fall under that category"
You say: "well, every band has to make money"
Complete misses the point, see?
So you think they shouldn't please their fans in order to make less money?!?The only time I'll accept someone calling Metallica a sell-out is when they are describing the number of tickets they sold.:evil:
Well, I told you it was going to be kick ass didn't hi? lol
For all the doubters out there who didn't think the album was going to be any good, piss off!

Anyone who has money will always want more money. It definitely doesn't matter if they have enough or not. Their shows are "awesome" because that's how they keep making more money. If there shows sucked ass, who would go?
I didn't say Metallica was any different than any other band. Most bands are sell outs.
There are a few bands out there that actually truly care about their fan base and go to great lengths to please them. This concept is lead by Trent Reznor and has bled into other artists. I can think of a lot of bands that actually encourage their fans to find ways to get the music for free, even if it's illegal and their label won't allow it. Some bands leave their label entirely, or others like Radiohead just give away new albums. Unfortunately, the Radiohead situation was a one time thing and they have resorted back to their old ways due to a fat paycheck offered by their label. Is that selling out? Hell yes it is. I won't treat them any differently because their music is better.
What's all this about selling out? It's just called success. Can't anyone be successful these days without being a sell out?
Yes. But it's rare. What I would consider successful and what you would consider successful might be different though.
A lot of bands sell out concerts and have tons of albums out, but none of them are as adamant about the fans not getting the music for free as Metallica.

Free music is the future.
Hate to break it to you, a lot of music will disappear if musicians don't make any money. Free music may be the future, but you will always be able to support great artists by buying theirs albums or song. Another thing, if you have a family to feed and provide for then you will accept a big fat paycheck. Give you an example here, if you're a paint artist and create pictures and drawings and what not, why wouldn't you except money for it? Tell me why? You worked hard and earned it. Not many people can replicate it and create it like you can. So please just tell me why?
Don't give me that bullshit line, "I wouldn't".

My fav Metallica songs:
Fuck you, I'm a dragon.
Fuck you, I'm a dragon.
Thats why I am in love with it.
EXCEPT, My fav song from metallica is Fade to black which is on ride the lighting.
