Untill your in Metallica's place you can't really call them sell outs in a negative way.
I mean come on.. Would ANY of us be any different? You mean to tell me after you become a rich and famous rock star you're not going to get a bit of "God symplex". Every famous musicion and actor gets the god symplex after making it. It changes your whole attitude and therefore your music etc..
And you can't compare Metallica selling out to selling GFY sigs.. totaly different $$$ base. Who here wouldn't sell there sig to anyone for a few million dollars or in Metallica's case tens of millions?
Just for the record I do love old Metallica waaay more than the new stuff. My favorite album is Master of Puppets.. but still I don't blame them for what they've become....
Just my 2
