I agree with George. You change your music to make money. Metallica certainly did it. Hell, if you've read the book "Sound of the Beast: The Complete Headbanging History", you'll find that they purposely changed their music from speedy complicated (sorta) riffs to slow, chugging power chords because it was easier to listen to in an arena. IN A FUCKING ARENA. That's a sellout.

Now, if a band is getting attention because they're just fucking good, a la Mastodon, then more power to them. I met them at a show up north of Springfield and they're a bunch of fuckin' cool guys. If they start sounding like Korn or something, THEN I'll start screaming bloody murder.

By the way, read that book. You will fucking love it. It traces the beginnings of Death Metal (Black Sabbath, Celtic Frost, Raven...etc...) all the way up to Black Metal and the Swedish church burnings. Man, the book changed my perspective on the genre.

I feel like that guy on Reading Rainbow.
