While I agree Metallica _are_ now cashing in, compared to, say,  Master of Puppets, I think the simple millionare=suit=no longer 'cool' is a rather patronising argument.

BOC & HW no longer sell many albums, but they certainly did back in the 70's. Would older fans still have slagged off new fans for jumping on the bandwagon  ? I would hope not. If a band makes cool music, no matter how rich / poor , then they should be judged for that, not the size of their wads ;-)

BTW I've only heard 2 of the songs off 'Load' : 2 by 4 I heard at Donington, and thought it was v. poor, & 'Bleeding Me' on Fluff Freeman's radio show, which I thought was ok.
