What a sellout means to me is a bands decision to move from the essence that made them to a format that will entice more of the populus.

1984 "Fade to Black" Metallica thought of as evil, sadistic, satanic, they appeared on TV to help explain the fan's take.
"Suicidal, alienated people can relate to this song and feel they are understood and have hope that they are not the only ones feeling this way. quote by fans"
1990-1 "Nothing Else Matters" Metallica wrote a love song, best selling album! I liked them less, and found it so/so.
1995 LOAD: Couldn't find a thing on this album I liked, so I used as a skeet in my backyard after a few drinks. <Pull> <Bang!> <laughing I missed> <again!> I didn't care what people said about them at this point.
From some people's point of view they sold out. My favorite album remains Ride the Lightning. Another example? U2!

PS: There is alot of music out there, try smaller bands. They don't change alot, they only get better, and appreciate their fans <they have to because the name of their band means nothing>.
