I remember when I loved RBF.

But yeah I'd sell out in a second. Besides, the type of people who get sand in their vaginas for bands "selling out" I couldn't care less about.

I would sell out to get the pussy. I mean after all, I wouldn't get any if I was indie. Because if I'm indie, I won't be enormously popular which means if I am well known, then I sure as hell would get some.

I would for sure. More money = more possibilities, and thus more option/time to make the music you want.

God I want to sell out.

Unless they don't change the sound of their music to get a bigger audience, then I wouldn't have a problem with it.

zappa was in it for the money apparently

Thanks

Depends on the terms, I guess. I would produce and/or engineer shitty pop records to make money, and kind of hope to do some of that. I would also write jingles for radio or TV commercials if I didn't think the company/business was horribly terrible. I would not, however, put my name on the cover of any record I didn't honestly believe in.

What happens if you sell out for 300 bucks and a chain like Soulja Boy. Can you sell out again?

12-10-2007, 10:45 PM
hell no man, HELL NO. I'd be so radical I'd make the music industry sell out to me.

Robert Crumb
12-10-2007, 10:50 PM
If someone offered me some golden grahams right now I'd sell out so fast, I'm tellin' u

Thanks
12-10-2007, 10:51 PM
My mom sent me delicious brownies, mini twix bars, those raspberry gummi candies, beef jerky, and justice league teddy grahams in the mail. Sellout.

I could always do some side projects as well, like that guy from Busted.

when you're a famous boy, it gets really easy to get girls,
it's all so easy you get a bit spoilt
so when you try to pull a girl who is also famous too,
it feels just like when you wasn’t famous

12-11-2007, 07:02 PM
Man, I knew that was Streets lyrics, and I never ever heard that song.

But I already hate it.

I wouldn't start playing music I didn't like just to sell more records, but if your just talking about going to a major label then I'd have no problem. I'm not some kind of Gwen Stefani who's gonna say "screw my band (who made me famous in the first place), I wanna be a pop star! When do I get a clothing line?"

Maybe, just to gain popularity. Then when you're somewhat popular and you've got followers then do whatever the hell you want.
