In the words of Gene Simmons, regarding KISS, "yeah, we're sell outs. We sell out every night."
I can't stand when people critise these bands for 'selling out'. I'm hearing that now with Modest Mouse because they're finally getting 'main stream' radio play and they're on MTV. Honestly, I'm not thrilled cause now all the kids that I can't stand at concerts have discovered them and they'll be out there. But I'm happy for the band to finally get the recoginition they deserve.
That's my two cents.
hmm. Well it kind of sucked when Chevelle landed their second album with Epic Records and everyone went crazy for The Red. I mean Point #1 to me was an amazing album and like I would tell people about how good Chevelle was and then they got big with the new album and everyone was all "Oh Chevelle is so awesome and influential". But hey thats my two cents. I guess its that kind of feeling where something unique is taken from you and turned corporate. I hate corporations. I work in this department with this guy I can't stand. He is the TRENDIEST, PREPPIEST White guy ever. I mean if its popular he likes it. He thinks hes into underground music cause he listens to Liz Phair. Oh COME ON. I mean this guy is preppy to a tee. Hes got the khaki pants, the beach condo, and the gf he cant stand and is never gonna get married but he has her so he can say hes got a gf. Hes got a masters degree but hes got no practical knowledge and this is the type of person that I think really needs to be deported to Connecticut or something.
Yeah your right modest mouse isnt sellouts. But Kiss are the deffintion of sellouts thats all they set out to be. The dude sells signed toilet paper. They are not about quality music, they are all about money. You see led zeplin whoring themselves out like that or acdc nope never.
