re: Metallica Whiskey/Hetfield in Rehab

I'm a long-time fan of the band and don't care one way or the other about the "sell-out" argument. I understand that business is business and no one forms a band to play clubs forever and not make money.

I'll argue that the Black album is pop but I won't argue that Metallica are "sellouts" because they're not. Maynard said it best:

All you know about me is what I've sold ya, dumb frick
I sold out long before you'd ever even heard my name
I sold my soul to make a record, dipshit
And then you bought one

All you read and wear or see and hear on TV
Is a product begging for your fat-arse, dirty dollar
Shut up and buy, buy, buy my new record
And buy, buy, buy, send more money
frick you, buddy
frick you, buddy
frick you, buddy
frick you, buddy
