1. A sell out, clear and simple.  Supporting Slipknot, Papa Roach, Limp Bizkit ect. as metal, need I say more?  This is the only reason why he gets to play at big arenas, stay on the radio, as well as MTV, because he betrayed the metal scene.  Clear and simple.  Maiden, Megadeth, Iced Earth, Type O' Negative and Dio haven't betrayed it, so thats why their fame isn't as popular now days or never will be, because they hate this false metal, and will not support it whatsoever.  Just read the interviews by these bands for yourself.  Alot of people say if Ozzy didn't support this nu metal, then he wouldnt make any money, please!! The non sell out bands I just listed aren't as popular, yet they make bundles of money, sold out world shows everytime.  So there are plenty of true metalheads out there that know whats going on, and still stick with the real metal bands.
