Guys I hate to tell everyone this...But these comparisons to the other 80's and 90's "thrash" outfits are completely meaningless. Metallica exited the "thrash" door stage left decades ago. they changed purposely so that they could transend that genre and "graduate" to the big leagues. The nearest comparison that I can make to Metallica's expansion and growth chart is U2...Who followed a similar path in certain respects

 

In spite of all the haters...Their plan worked perfectly.

Metallica was great. I'm just glad the broke up after ...And Justice For All. They probably would've started sucking if they hadn't broken up in their prime.

 

 

This. Same thing with Megadeth - quitting after Rust in Peace was a masterstroke of genius.

 

 

 

And slightly guilty ROFL at chasing Guitarist+ out of HCAF with the inside jokes.

Yeah, yeah, the general public are stupid and don't know music as well as you do.

 

They're not {censored}ing Katie Perry.

They were/are a metal band, and a {censored}ing good one, but were able to write tunes that appealed to a much larger audience across multiple genders.

Don't like it? Don't buy the records or go to their shows.

 

Over-rated? No. Only a dumb {censored}, or butt hurt, die-hard thrash fan would say that.

^ I can't understand why you metal fans worry so much about how musicians look.
:idk:

 

Tons of stuff could be written about this but in a nutshell, as superficial it might sound, image is important. Not only in metal but generally in everything related to everyday life. Deep down it falls down to same category as picking a pile of potential records from unknown bands to listen to merely based on the album cover (tell me you never done that), or why metal lyrics aren't really covering topics like eating ice cream on the beach with your mom, playing soccer or programming the OS for the new Nokia phones with Delphi, for example.
