That is completely untrue.
Unlike Aerosmith, Van Halen, Mötley Crüe and others from that era, Metallica isn't a nostalgia act. They continue to release albums on a semi-regular basis, the last five of which were #1 the week upon release. The Black album sold more than 12 million copies its first year of release alone.
Bands that sell out stadiums worldwide and sell millions of copies upon each release aren't living off of a single record released 27 years in the past.
