The cost of living these days is just downright insane! My wife and I both work full time and we still struggle to put food on the table. <br /><br />Society has forced us all to fall victim to greed. I'm not a greedy person but Goddammit, I want to keep a roof over my head and food on the table. I'm trying like hell to find ways to bring in more money just to survive. If that means selling out, then so be it! I'd do anything to look out for my family. <br /><br />And in reference to Mrs. One Day's comment...Metallica fucking rocks! That is until the new bassist came along. Reload was their final stop for being kick ass. And I don't think they ever sold out. Like you said, they were just getting old. Nothing wrong with a new sound so long as it still rocks. People just weren't accustomed to the new sound coming from Metallica and so they labeled them as sell-outs.

Going to give it another go once this hangover goes away. Got into a fight last night(I asked for it, unfortunately) and I either bumped my head somewhere or this is the worst hangover in the history of hangovers.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00606857660947384949noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4658089399678903565.post-71891181736074072892012-01-28T13:00:43.568+05:302012-01-28T13:00:43.568+05:30Hi Mrs. One Day: Anything that references Metallic...Hi Mrs. One Day: Anything that references Metallica is ace in my book. Though I'm not quite sure they sold out per se -gotta remember they lost Mustaine in '83, then Cliff Burton later, all of which understandably changed their musical direction. Newsted -despite all his flaws- was key to And Justice For All which was a perfectly reasonable album. I prefer to think they mellowed out, grew older, tired of their own sound. At least up to the point of Re-load. Even S&M and the Garage double were perfectly good albums in their own right. St. Anger and Death Magnetic were just shit, but they hired a shit bassist. And Bob Rock is a bit of a parasite.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00606857660947384949noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4658089399678903565.post-64432740212226351222012-01-28T10:35:22.210+05:302012-01-28T10:35:22.210+05:30in a strange way, i think the poem that i just pos...in a strange way, i think the poem that i just posted echoes your thoughts here ... on the flip side of success and SUV's and end of the year bonuses.<br /><br />square pegs will never fit into round holes no matter how hard we try to pummel them into shape.<br /><br />xxxred dirt girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12939283533222061484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4658089399678903565.post-34580868783295808312012-01-28T10:34:47.282+05:302012-01-28T10:34:47.282+05:30Jason Newsted, formerly of Metallica, said somethi...Jason Newsted, formerly of Metallica, said something once about selling out that I thought was both genius and humorous. He said when people say that Metallica has sold out he says, "Yes, we sold out. Every seat in the house.", or something like that.<br /><br />It would be more meaningful if Metallica hadn't, in fact, sold out. What I mean by that is that they changed their music in order to sell more albums. They made it softer, sweeter and quite frankly they made it shit. <br /><br />I have no issue with bands trying to make more money and reach a larger audience as long as they stay true to themselves.Mrs. One Dayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13386318252760709869noreply@blogger.com
