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.

Metallica is on another level than those bands. Try Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin.
They were SO big, that yes, they are still living off those golden years.
