Once Metallica has been around for forty-odd years thier total will be a lot higher, too. You can't compare the cumlative sales of a band that started in the 60's with a band that started in the 80's. It just doesn't compute.

That having been said, Metallica has sucked since the black album, but the Stones have always blown.
