4. Metallica is one band that I have never cared for

I am perfectly open to metal and am a fan of several metal bands such as Black Sabbath, Dream Theater, Opeth, Tool, and several others. Metallica does not come close to any of those bands in my opinion, they are highly overrated and they come across as complete assholes. Lars Ulrich in particular is a person who seems like he is totally in it for the money and could care less about the art. I really don't understand the appeal of Metallica, there are so many better bands out there.
