The Donnas. I mean, I met those girls last year when I saw them in Philly and they were totally cool but now they're on SNL and TRL?

they didn't sell out---they are finally getting respect that they merit along with a record deal.

thatdarngirl Jan 20, 2003

No they definetly sold out, just maybe not as bad as some other bands. They were on Lookout Records which is a very well known label and well respected for having bands like Operation Ivy on it. ...

so what they want more money-that's what they do for a living and they want to get paid-there's nothing wrong with that. and if you listen to their old stuff versus their new stuff it's not THAT m...

Yet. They can't change things over night because then their fans will know and just up and leave. Making money and being a sell out don't have to go hand in hand. Weezer hasn't sold out yet and t...

hm, my biggest reason for thinking a band has "sold out" is when they start playing HUGE venues...like arenas and crap....once they cross that line...sell-out...they can still make a ton of money t...

hmmm so the beatles were sell outs?

tesoro Jan 22, 2003

well, if you're going by my definition of a sell-out....yup..guess so. i'm not saying i dont LIKE all that music...i still like alota cheezy sell-out pop crap....i'm just saying those kinda bands/s...

oh you're the coolest person i know. you're saying that if they play an arena to 50,000 people in one night they are selling out. but if in the same area they played a concert at a venue that fit...

first of all, stop dreaming, i'm never gonna bite you. second...100 people is SUPER small...thats like cafe small...i'm not talking about quite that small...but i think if a band is truely in it "for the music" which okay, duh, most of em ARE in it for the money...but playing smaller shows are SO much more fun for the band and for the fans...like crazily alot more...i mean i can say that based on me...the fan..haha...and just articles i've read and stuff..but at smaller shows there is so much more interaction w/ fans, and ur actually all up close...its awesome! huge shows suck.

ilikebirds ilikebirdsOG 2002

yea but as an artist , standing in front of 50,000 people.. all singing along and moving along ... is a lot better than 200 people .
you dream not of playing to 200 people . you want a huge following. you want all that you can appreciate your music. i know this because as a kazoo player i'm tired of just my family being the audience. i want 50,000 people blowing the lips with me. bllooo bblooo blooo bee beee beee baahhh
