Metallica "sold out" by bringing in Bob Rock to produced the Black Album IMO
Second album is "day 1?" Okay then.
Metallica has been putting marketability and commercial success above their musical integrity for a while now.

You can't be serious. Metallica is well known for doing what they want. Not putting out stuff that sacrifices integrity for commercial success.
What they want is to make money.

Load and Reload and St Anger are all hot garbage. Thought that then and still do now. People say they sold out with the Black Album but I actually enjoyed that one.
Liked their first 4 better.
And loved their return to form with Death Magnetic.
I don't count Lulu as a Metallic album, they did a favor for Lou Reed and made themselves look like Jackasses in doing so.
How is that any different than any other band or artist?
Load is a solid album. People hate on it because "Metallica Sold Out," but if you look at it on its own it's definitely an above average hard rock album.
Most musicians make their living outside of the music industry. They do it to make the music they want. They don't do it to make money.
What's wrong with making a living inside of the music industry?
Nothing, unless you make money a priority over making good music. Which Metallica has.

What a stupid argument.
