Slayer did indeed stick to their guns. They didn't sell out, at all.
Metallica, on the other hand, lost a large portion of their fanbase even before Lars took on Napster around 2000. I don't think you will find one Metallica fan that would say that they stuck to
their guns.
I am a believer that all things must evolve, that includes musicians especially. For as much as I have loved both these bands throughout the years, I cannot tell which why which band fell from their former glory. One stuck to their guns, the other sold out long ago. I guess that this just proves that all good things must come to an end. I still love both of their old stuff though.
I hope Metallica proves me wrong here, but I have a felling they won't.
