Metallica's Black Album is the only Metal album to ever go Diamond is the genre's entire history.>inb4 Linkin Park, AC/DC, ZZ Top, Def Leppard, Kid Rock, Guns 'n Roses, Van HalenNone of those bands' albums that went Diamond are Metal. Def Leppard stopped being Metal after On Through the Night, and the rest are either Hard Rock, Hard Alternative or Nu-Metal (that's a misnomer; it's not Metal).
They sold out
You forgot Fallen by Evanescence
>>129045329>Fallen by EvanescenceYou're trolling, but that's a Symphonic Hard Alternative album, not a Metal album.

Yeah, but TBA only sold so well because it has 3 massive singles which you could hardly call metal. Normies weren't buying it to hear SHAPE SHIIIIIIIFT
Looking at your stingy ass criteria for what's metal.Metallica's Black album isn't Metal either.
>>129045740Granted, Nothing Else Matters is a glorified wedding ballad that surprisingly works but ain't Metal. A few other songs ride the border between Hard Rock and Heavy Metal but the rest is Metal. If Enter Sandman isn't Metal, then Paranoid isn't either.>>129045768Metal songs: Enter Sandman, Sad but True, Holier Than Thou, Wherever I May Roam, Don't Tread on Me, Through the Never, Of Wolf and Man, The God That Failed, My Friend of Misery, The Struggle WithinOnly one that isn't Metal is Nothing Else Matters. Others do have Hard Rock elements in fairness, but it's majority Metal.
>>129045395Bro, shut up. Evanescence is metal and no, metalheads don't decide what's metal and what's not
Corgan's Diamond selling Mellon Collie is metal https://youtu.be/97sYm0Bkd3Y
>>129045214Not metal.
>>129049337Smashing Pumpkins has Metal songs, but no Metal albums.
>>129048915>Christians don't get to decide what's Christian and what's notYou're dense.
>>129045214How do you shift the goalposts this many times? >This is the only diamond metal album! >Except for all these albums but they're not REALLY metal! >And these metal bands stopped being metal!>And Nu-metal isn't metal. Christ...Not helping the whole 'metalheads are insufferable' stereotype.
>>129050313Nu metal isnt metal. Keep coping that your fav butt rock bands arent metal in reality just because they have loud guitars and screaming LMAOO, Niggas like you who say shit like 'metalheads are insufferable" are the same types who barely know any actual metal records and dont even listen to any subgenres and bands maybe aside from the absolute biggest names
>>129050288It is, its a heavy / thrash metal record, but a really watered down, hard rock influenced style of heavy / thrash
>>129050509>t. that "name 3 albums" guy in a pit-stained, cheeto-dusted AJFA shirt
>>129050567Nice strawman nigga looool and implying that any metal fan whos done at least some actual digging still cares about shitallica after a certain point lol. Stay mad that metallum doesnt include breaking benjamin and limp bizkit!
>>129045214that cover is based out
>>129050300How is a Jewish anti-European cult relevant?
>>129045329Thats death metal
>>129045214>I'll redefine a genre to prove my pointenough of your bullshit Chaim
>>129046647What about The Unforgiven?
>>129046647>hen Paranoid isn't either.Well yeah Sabbath were heavy psych
