Can you really blame bands for wanting to make money? Or wanting to try new things musically?

I got the new Dream Theater cd, and it's completely different from their old stuff, it sounds like something that they'd play on AAF, but whatever, why would a band want to constantly keep playing the same things over and over, it would get boring. As for the money, they work hard for it.

when you form a band, 98% of the time that band is commited to one style of music. Cannibal Corpse was formed as a death metal band. Dimmu Borgir was formed as a black metal band. Hatebreed was formed as a hardcore band, and Metallica was formed as a speed metal band. it's one thing to progress musically, and accustom your style to the newer forms of the genre you started playing, but you stay within that genre. as soon as you completely change styles, and no longer play that certain type of music, change the band name. Cannibal Corpse is, and will always be remembered as a death metal band. if they want to go ahead and start playing black metal, fine, but change the band name, because Cannibal Corpse is not a black metal band. Metallica failed to do that. when you're a speed metal band, moving forward does not mean hurrying the fuck up in the studio, nor does it mean slowing down your songs. when they get nominated for music awards, it's usually for something like "best hard rock band". HARD ROCK!!! not metal, but rock. very simply put, Metallica changed their style, henceforth, they are no longer Metallica. now why does that mean they sold out? because they are still selling a product under the name Metallica, even though it's not truly Metallica. If they changed their band name to go along with the style they play now, for example let's say Frantic, chances are they wouldn't sell nearly as many albums as they do now. do u see where i'm getting at here?
