They wrote their original stuff as angst-ridden teens who drank too much and snorted cocaine. Now they're middle-aged, hippy millionaires who go to rehab and therapy for everything. They're pretty much the antithesis of what they were 25 years ago so I think it's pretty stupid to think they can just go back to 'where they came from'. Going back to your roots is also practically an admission that the band has gone shit. Whilst we can say that, I don't think a band should in normal circumstances.

No that is the opinion of the splinter group The Real Metallica Purist.
