I hate it when people label something as shit simply because they do not like it.
I also profoundly detest how people will say one band is better than the other based on their record sales. Stupid argument.
Someone tried to do that in a recent Hammett vs Friedman youtube clip. Fucking Twat.
Bands that change what they do best for the sake of fame and record sales piss me off too. That's why I admire Steve Harris so much. At a time when he had fucking nothing he was approached by people who wanted maiden to become a punk band in order to get signed and go on tour etc. He told them to fuck right off. Maiden was his to do what he wanted with whether he made it or not.
More people should follow this example, It would certainly get rid of some of the bullshit commercialisation around now if more people had the balls to do what 'arry did!
