Metallica might be one of the heaviest bands to really break through in the mainstream... which begs the question... is Metallica really POPtallica?

Always. MTV is just a media service. Think of Headbangers Ball.

All Their Material Before Load and Re - Load is Heavy but not as heavy as Machine Head , Lamb Of God , Pantera , Or Slayer . But they are most certainly NOT under any circumstances Pop .

They used to be some pretty serious metal, but now... I don't know. Their more of a hardcore band, I guess.

Their on the in-between. Not by any means pop, but I don't know if anything new could be classified as heavy metal. Pop in the grand scheme is nothing more then what popular at the time. And at this current time, metal is not in the majority.

They're of course Metal. If they were Pop than what would you call to bands that are really catalogued as Pop?? Just because they're not as heavy as before it doens't meant they're not Metal.... They develpped to a different direction.... times changes so does bands and everything else....But they're definetely still Metal and they will always be it.... just listen more carefully!!!

They used to be a Metal band. Now?
They're nothing more than hard rock. Which is fine, I just wish they'd admit it.

Their older stuff rocked balls like none could believe. Their newer stuff isn't as good, but anyone would run low on material after that long. Still fucking metal.
