Sellouts covering sellouts...what is the world coming to? Now all we need is another 10 whiny albums about how shitty his life is.

Korn are the Backstreet Boys of "metal."

Some record company exec wanted to target all the whiny "angst-filled" teenagers, so he put together a band that wrote songs about every fucked up thing so everyone everywhere would have to relate to it.

I'm not even gonna get into the 2nd whiniest band, the N'sync of metal, Linkin Park...or the close 3rd, Staind.

metallica put in their dues.. made some badass albums... hell, if i went through all of that i'd become a fuckin sellout too. and then do what they're doing now, pushing out a badass oldschool style record.

money is nice once you've put you're all into your music... dont blame them a bit.

I appreciate their music. They're damn good at what they do, and I think they sound better doing the melodic, grungy stuff.

But I don't agree with their reasons for the whole Napster thing. That's what made me dislike them as people. Their tapes being copied and traded is what got them where they are today.

bah, i hate the term sellouts as well...

now they've pretty much become mainstream and they're gonna pull out their classic style again, everyone will have a taste of it.. it's about time to put their music into the heads of everyone else..

i'm not a 'leave me alone with my own taste' type of guy, and i would enjoy to see others to start having a bite of what i've been eating all my life..

yea baby! time to put some 'metal up your ass!'
