Why I hate Metallica (lyric, tickets, alternative, rock, albums)

There is a difference between fanbase and musicians. Fanbase 'rejuvenates' itself, new kids start listening to the old stuff and expect all of the albums to sound the same. Musicians don't. They age and with maturity they tend to look for different styles..and guess what, if it happens to a rock/metal band, they'll get critisized, called sellouts/washouts etc..

I think it depends. There are some bands who change a lot and still manage to retain their fans. The key is making sure that you are still making good music as you change.

Yeah but the definition of "good music" is very subjective. As I said, I really liked Load/Reload especially what James did with the vocals ie. the arrangments etc. but some people hated it plain and simple and trashed it all over the internet.

Same could be said about St. Anger. Some people like the raw sound some people were like, wtf?

I don't think you can keep all of your fanbase unless you're not willing to take any chances and play it safe and even that doesn't guarantee a success.
