ITT: People who don't know that Metallica started the thrash genre with the other Big Four (Anthrax, Slayer, Megadeth) and pretty much opened up an entire new idea of how "heavy" heavy metal could be. AKA, without Metallica, Slayer, and co., you'd have huge chunks missing out of extreme metal.
Metallica doesn't try to be harder anymore, they stopped being heavy. They USED to be hard metal, but they stopped, you have it backwards. Originally, they were super heavy, speed/trash oriented metal with shouted lyrics and crazy, raw guitar licks.
Around Around Load/Reload, they started moving towards a more generic rock sound, and by St. Anger and Death Magnetic they started trying to implement punk and progressive elements into their musicality, which ******** sounds like s**t for them.
They started out heavy/hard, and then started softening their sound and tried to be a more "diverse" band by implementing shitty prog and punk/goth elements into their music that doesn't fit their playing style. If you think they're TRYING to be harder now or in the past few years, you're not only wrong, but you have it completely backwards. They've been moving away from their signature sound with each album since Load/Reload or Black came out.
TL;DR: They pulled a KISS. Started off heavy, became faggots.
TL;DR2: I know a lot about heavy metal bands and how their sound has progressed and changed.
EDIT:: Also, Metallica and Slayer used to be THE definition of hardcore heavy metal when they first got onto the scene, and maintained that position until the 90s. You can't say "thrash metal" without thinking Metallica, unless you just know absolutely jackshit about the genre.
Also, I love prog rock and metal, but Metallica doesn't do it well. At all. See: Lars's drumming.
