Actually I think metallica is the worse example you could pick, I mean yes they tried alot, but they went from Good to totally disgusting. I mean what they produce now is total crap compared to their old stuff. Anyways as for Burzum, I think he experimented alot man, now he's doing classical I mean wtf? and for Maiden, well they never really changed the way they played after the first 2 albums but still they tried alot of different things. I think this Tr00 thing is just bullshit, a band is true to itself not to a genre or to a quota of popularity...

I knew Metallica wasn't the best example because i didn't want to start a debate on old vs. new shit, i think its safe to say that no one on this site thinks new shit is better than the old shit anyway... i think you said it well when you say "compared to THEIR old stuff"... i could have picked a band like Ulver for my example maybe..even though the change here is a little to extreme..
Yeah. i'm aware of this classical record of his, but he is not right in his head and had to much time in prisson to think:) anyway Burzum may have experimented, but his catalouge is no more versatile that any other bands. less i think.
When you said maiden tried alot of different things.. i'm sure, but every "trOO" band does this to some extent from album to album.Iron Maiden has always been close to it's nest, to afraid and maybe unable to step out and fly like the eagles in their songs:)
I agree with you on trOO is just bullshit, but there is these trOOists... and they can be annoying, just as annoying as fanboys.
A band should be trOO to it's self, but in who's eyes?? i think Metallica have been true to them self.. they done what they wanted to do all the time, no matter what their fans think.
When a band start making material they think their fans want to hear or keep baking the same old recipe because the fans would be upset if they changed their sound... thats when the band is not trOO to itself, but trOO to their fans. And then every band consist of multiple musicians, and if a musician get stuck in playing the same shit always, he is not true to himself as a musician. It's seams there is alot of different ways to be trOO, and to be trOO 100% to your fans, band and yourself only a few bands/musicians could say that they are i think.. example Opeth/Akerfeldt... (maybe another bad example because Opeth is the new Metallica in some peoples eyes in here.. mainly in the eyes of the "trOOists" i think.. and i think the reason is becasue of the popularity) Maybe that could be a new Song title "In the eyes of the trOOist"

It's good to be TrOO/true, but i think it's better to be inventive and newthinking.
Ofcourse it's possible to be both to some extent, if there is something called True at all. (always question the "truth") I fell that the so called True metal bands like Manowar, Iron Maiden, burzum etc. maybe are afraid to make changes becasue they fear to dissapoint their fans and don't sell records.... thats not very TrOO is it?? Even that or they are not very versatile musicians. Maybe i'm wrong, but i have never seen any members of the bands mentioned above in any sideprojects that is completely different than their main bands or at least require a different sett of skills/approach. Eks: Bruce Dickinson solo material. I think Metallica is a good example of the opposite, they never been afraid to try something new. and now with this Lou Reed thing.. Awsome, i haven't heard it, but what an bold idea right? I don't want to start a debate about how good Metallica's later year albums is. i only say that i think they have alot of balls doing what they do. at least give them that much:)

^ Ulver would maybe be an example of a band that was successful in its transitions.

Immortal is a better example. Their thrash era is more creative and sometimes better than their earlier tr00 albums.

And you call Nergal a Blasphemer Pure Holocaust > Other Immortal Albums .Seriously though Immortal are True Metal IMO
Consistent Discography, Great Live and They dont take themselves seriously (Despite the ridiculous videos and image they come across as more sincere then many of these TRUE KVLT GRIM FROSTBITTEN Black Metal bands)
