^ haha. i think he meant like "sell out" like Johnny Moseley sold out on the sport of skiing.... etc. And i think this is a tough question. there are a lot of bands that people think "sold out" just because they got popular. but you can't blame them for getting popular.

Bob Dylan did a Victoria's Secret commercial last year... granted back when he was 24 he said if he ever sold out, that's what he'd sell out for; ladies underwear. I was reading somewhere that he also did a BMO ad (for all the Canadians).

But while we're on the subject of Bob Dylan... we might as well ad(d) these to the list; Zeppelin, The Stones, The Who.

There's nothing that pisses me off more than that Pepsi Commercial that uses Hendrix to sell their product... arghh.
I want to run an anti-Pepsi commercial that shows a Jimi Hendrix approach a Pepsi machine, and next to the machine is a dark alley filled with junkies.

wow. selling out is the purpose of any industry. you try to produce something that people will buy into. anybody that says that they are doing it for the music or the sport or whatever, is simply using that to create an image of themselves, which, people will eventually buy into. im sure anybody on ns would sell their soul to be on a victorias secret commercial. truth is, none of us know anything about fame and fortune, so its none of our business.

this convo always bothers me because people tag people "sellouts" as soon as they make some money. Given there are some obvious sell out point (meth and red reppin rightguard), but you need to make money in this life and a lot of artists out there are smart enough to realize that they only have a small window to do so. If they can profit while still putting out sick music, then go for it.

Yellowcard for example, in my view, has not sold out. They became popular as their music progressed from their "one for the kids" EP. I think Ocean Avenue is still a really good cd, it's just gotten played out since it came out.

I'd have to say Green Day (listen to Dookie and tell me this new album can hold a fucking candle to it...don't worry it can't)

Just to clarify: popularity does NOT equate "selling out." Degrading the artistic integrity of the music so that it is more digestible for a wider, less critical audience is how I define selling out.

I also don't dislike anyone who likes this type of music. If you like it, great. But it pisses me right the fuck off.

Others:

-Black Eyed Peas

-Kenny Wayne Sheppard
So sad. He actually made an effort at being a musician now he just "feels so alive." Fucking pussy

-Saliva
I hate all their shit but they changed their style from ubershitty rap rock bullshit to ExtraUberShitty Coors Light commercial bullshit. Anyone who changes their style to something that rivals Kid Rock's Coors Light commercial ["Sombody's gotta fell this!"] deserves to be slaughtered by the music gods.

yes listen to dookie and listen to the new album, hmm songs about being locked in a room by your mean girlfriend, vs. very progresive and different sounding music. How long ago was dookie like 10 years? do you still act and think the same as you did 10 years ago? no people grow up, move on get better. You cannot say that musically dookie is better than american idiot. every single green day cd has been different from the one before it. sure you can say they sold out, maybee they did, but they're rich as shit and their image hasn't changed that much. so whatever.

Anathema (Justin): Yes, dude. I thought your post was funny. Was it that confusing?

Phrosty: I can say Dookie was better. I did and I will continue to. If you think "Boulevard of Broken Dreams" is better than, say, "Welcome to Paradise" then we don't need to continue this conversation because in my opinion there is no comparison.

You're right. I don't think the same as I did 10 years ago. But pace, intensity, and power are things that made Dookie great for me and American Idiot lacked all of those. The drumming on Dookie was turbocharged. The guitar and bass playing was quick and feverish. "Holiday" sounds like something off of a Good Charlotte CD.

As soon as Billy Joe applied eye liner Green Day was written off my list. They said it themselves in the last issue of Rolling Stone. Something to the effect of "We wanna be the biggest band in the world." Anyone who says that is not aligned with what I think music is about. It's not a popularity contest for me.

Just because they grew up, lost their balls, and their music changed doesn't mean it got better.

the hard thing is resisting a fat ass check that lands on the table right in front of you. if you feel you dont need it then you wont sell out, but most people snatch that shit up.

A LESSON FROM A HARDCORE SMOKER:
if your really hardcore you can just smoke out of your hands. make a loose fist but keep your fingers together and pack the entire empty space in the middle with herb. then open up your pinky finger enough so that the herb doesnt fall out but you can light it. then just breath in from the top hole and ull get mad respect -eastar5

I'll agree with Jake, he did look spooky. Also, Bob Dylan has been quoted admitting he was a sell out, though didn't use that phrase. I wish I could site the source, but alas, I don't have it.

i'd have to agree with whoever said dave matthews. they're stuff has never been very big on the radio or anything and their music hasn't changed, granted i haven't really heard anything before under the table and dreaming.
i agree with the black eyed peas and snoop dogg. snoop i can understand a little more cus you can't start making millions and still try to be a gangster, but when you make songs like that new one with justin timberlake, not cool. black eyed peas are just so damn shitty and no one knew about them until they totally changed their sound.

i'm betting bob dylan diod that commercial just to get people to say he's a sellout, because he hates when he's put on a pedestal and lieks to fuck with peoples heads. Besides, its an underwear commercial. not a sellout in my book.

Boulevard of Broken Dreams is definately not the best song on the American Idiot album, others like Letterbomb are definately as good as songs on Dookie.

Oh and selling out is betraying ones principles or cause. Therefore if a band like Greenday or AFI never had a problem with making millions and appealing to a large audience, then they haven't really sold out.

Hahahaha, I knew you'd eventually reply to that post. :)

Your argument is logical: If a band starts out aiming for mainstream domination, you're right, they aren't sellouts.

However, I don't think (my opinion) that Green Day has always aimed to be as prominent or as popular as they are now. If they want dark circles under their eyes they should get back into their drug regiment, not apply eyeliner (some heavy sarcasm, but some truth too).

But to each his own...

if you were to get paid a bucketload of money to do a right guard commercial would you turn it down? of course not, especially if you are a starving artist. so just shutup because in this world you need money to survive.

Baahahaha. If you're talented you don't have to play shitty music or sell your songs to Right Guard to make money.

A quote from Flea (Red Hot Chili Peppers in April's addition of Rolling Stone:

Flea on Neil Young: "The Chili Peppers get offers all the time to sell songs for commercials. But I always think, "Would Neil Youn do this?" And the answer is no. Neil Young wouldn't fucking do it."

Neil Young isn't poor, by the way.
