[@TheLucidDreamer12]

They made things right again with DM and HTSD. As much as we hate them for selling out, they wouldn't have kept thrash relevant if they didn't sell out. For one thing, Megadeth and Slayer keeping their sounds wouldn't be so significant without Metallica jumping ship

[@blueskymars4189]

Load was project of Kirk and Lars according to James.

[@thunderfox101]

​@@TheLucidDreamer12I think the idea that Metallica sold out at all is konda dumb. And justice for all was so complex and was the result of them pushing there songwriting with thrash. O don't think it's very surprising that they wouldn't want to keep doing that again. The black album was a result of them focusing on a different part of their songwriting that was there since the beginning really, load, and reload are just a result of their changing interest. I don't think Metallica really sold out at all.
