I'm a long-time Metallica fan, but almost exclusively their pre-mid-'90s stuff. But by the '90s, I had already started branching out in musical tastes and went on to grunge/alternative pretty hardcore, which included acts such as Alice in Chains, Nirvana, Soundgarden, Smashing Pumpkins, etc.
After that, I became interested in blended (fusion) sounds. As far as my return to a more metal sound after my grunge orgy, I started to get into the metal that blended stoner rock, southern rock, or other rock genres. I think maybe grunge ruined straighahead thrash metal for me.
A few examples of what that entailed included Corrosion of Conformity (my favourite metal band), Alabama Thunderpussy, Eyehategod, Clutch, and Kyuss.
