How is being one of the most successful bands of their era (and the current) and be sellouts? I think mainstream went heavy, i dont think metalica went mainstream.

...And Justice For All
Was the pinnacle of their careers and they know it. Everything else after was dog shit, prepackaged for the billboard lists.
They had no radio play, no videos, and still sold tons of CDs.
They got the money, and they softened up, as does everyone. When you are not pissed at the world, poor, and rehab was finally successful, your days of making cutting edge music disappear.
Pull out Kill 'em all, Master of Puppets, Ride The Lightning, and And Justice For All and compare them to Black Album, Load, Re-Load. I did not buy anything after Re-Load so I can only assume the other ones sucked as hard.
Sad to say, Cliff would have sold out too... Bird's of a feather flock together, and these dudes turned into douche bags.
