Metallica's got the "it" factor in spades, too. They didn't fall in trends at all when they started and after grunge hit, were one of the few that started in the 80s that still survived. I can bet that if they come through your city, it'll be the biggest concert for a few months, (especially if you don't live in a big city) and the best one you'll ever be at. Old, new, who cares?!? They, like every mother****ing other band in the world, will play it all at their shows, so there's no way to be disappointed. Yeah, it's funny to see who's not a real fan when they pulled out "No Remorse" on their Summer Sanitarium tour. Everyone was like "no what?" lol

But what made Metallica Metallica really happened the most in their first ten years, not the last ten years. **** man, if any of your bands go for more than a few gigs at a lame bar, I'll be surprised. You weren't in their shoes, so saying nu-metal and metallica in the same sentence is ****in lame, man. You'd probably do the same thing, besides, they're probably the band with the biggest excuse to do whatever the hell they want. THEY EARNED IT!!

And not care for the fans? You in their fanclub? Yeah, that's right, shut up.
