Rage Against The Machine take the cake for me. So full of shit. Preaching all their anti-establishment/big business while there signed to Sony records :rolleyes:
It always weirded me out how everyone gets on Metallica's case when Soundgarden did the exact same thing. I guess most people didn't listen to them in the early days before they cut all their hair off and started writing shitty slicked out pop rock.

With Metallica I HONESTLY feel they just wanted to try something different. I don't think the change boosted their sales OR gained them a ton of new fans really. If they "sold out" it was well before Metallica's "Metallica" (or Black album if you will). System of a Down is even a bigger sellout in my mind.
