But with bands like Zeppelin, who arguably put out the same amount of crap, they get a pass because their good 4 albums came in the middle.
Same with the Stones. If you suck to begin with, and suck at the end, you didn't sell out. But if you're good at the outset and tapper off, well then you did it all for the money.

good point, and the kind of person that throws around terms like 'sellout' in the context of Metallica are devotees/kids with a very narrow view anyway... i mean was there ever any indication that these bands weren't trying to earn as much money as possible in the first place? No. So shattap.
But then again metal isn't my life so I can never get too passionate about it or contribute to all the metal subgenre clashes that go on in the backwaters of this forum. 'dude electric wizard is doom sludge not stoner drone!'
