Metallica and no selling out

When i was eighteen i recall my brother coming back household in California with a new cd from a band called Metallica: kill them all. The sound were also avant gardiste for me at the beginning. I wan in to the normal deep purple, Kiss, Aerosmith rock.

Then i read the Metallica stories and interviews in French rock magazines. Metallica was  virtually completly unknows inside the USA. But Metallica ahad slightly following in Europe, specially the scandinavian nations, Germany and France. The interviewers were asking James hatefiels, kirk hamett, cliff burton and lars ulrich why would they not adjust their music to possess far more airplay and sell far more cd's and be accepted by the general audiences?    

Then Metallica answered, that they are going to not sell out, they would rather die and quit playing music than play hair band music of dance music! I was pretty impressed by the faithfulness on the  Metallica's band members  on playing interesting music and some thing that would make the music globe progress and be innovative, than playing some thing which has already been done to make far more dollars!    
Is it correct that Metallica is and was not for everyone. Most people don't undrstand where rock and roll comes from. There is no dance groove, the common ppublic likes the singins melodies if not they are lost, and in  Metallica's music  there's plenty of instrumental passages!    
Then Metallica gor the opening slot for  Ozzy osbourne  all more than the north American tour. I recall for the reason that i was in the Los Angeles auditorium listening them as the majority from the prople in the audience did not know what to perform with them! Many people in the audience were spellbound!
