I think the bands that make music because they love it, not to get paid for it, are the best ones. It's nice to make a living doing what you love, but once it becomes your living, it's just that: a job. You stop loving it and start doing it because someone's paying you. A band like the Vandals, for instance, will never be in that position because they all love the music they make and don't care if they get paid to make it or not. When you see bands on MTV talking about how they've been playing together in a garage since they were 14, dreaming about the day they'd be on MTV and make millions, those are sell outs. I hate those bands.
