Many metal bands that have really made it have sold out, but I was listening to Megadeth today and I don't think they ever have really.
They've just kept writing thrash really haven't they?
Do you agree?
Can you think of anyone else who's trodden the line between fame and integrity as well or better?

I agree, although I don't like everything Megadeth have done. I think you could argue for Slayer & Suicidal Tendencies too, although the latter were never really famous to the same extent...

I've always admired that aspect of Mustaine, but I still think he's a bit of a git.
Megadeth have always been a band I can take or leave. I've seen them, and have enjoyed them, but they never have and probably never will be a band I will want to sit down and listen to.

Just thinking Motorhead are from the same school. Lemmy's never strayed from his chosen path either

Well, I stand by my thoughts from when I sent that letter into the mag, I agree with Lemmy's thoughts on selling out. It's about making tons of people think you're awesome and buy your music. As for Motorhead in general- You have one second to name a bad Motorhead album, time's up, that's what I fucking thought.
