[QUOTE="Willi, post: 74141, member: 504"] I tend to agree with you. I was a huge Metallica fan until Load. The turning point for me came when they released Reload just in time for Christmas. It might be ignorant, but I saw this as really selling out to make a buck. They later said that it was supposed to be a double album, and their marketing team said people wouldn't spend the money on a double album. Absolute bullshit, as I don't know anyone who owns just one of the Use Your Illusion's. The real fans would have bought it, and the people who weren't going to buy in first place would simply have copied it. At this point I stopped collecting. I still have a huge collection of Metallica CD's, including some real rarities like the Metallican, Live Shit (haha - on VHS [i]nogal[/i]), a very limited Japanse import of the "One" single and the single from the Freddie Mercury tribute. About Exodus - that's were Hammet is from in the first place. I suppose it came down to good marketing. Pantera was for sure a more hardcore band then both of them together, and they have my vote for killer metal band of the 90s. [/QUOTE]
