Biggest sellout group or band?

I think the anti-sellout would be Pearl Jam. They got huge and still stayed as non commercial as possible, even boycotting ticketmaster for a while. Still have not heard any of their stuff on commercials.

It's too bad Eddie Veder's a monumental douche... walked away from their show at Bonnaroo two years ago after one song because he couldn't stop preaching about God knows what.

They made it already.

no they haven't. I enjoy them so don't take my remark as me attacking them. Sure they were/are a mainstay in the punk scene but haven't crossed over to mainstream. Green Day and Rise Against both did.

it's impossible for a "punk" artist to cross over into the mainstream and not be considered a sellout.

BEP and Green day were the two that came to mind.

Pre-fergie BEP was good.

Red Hot Chili Peppers have gone completely full-tilt sellout IMO. They just did it at such a slow pace that nobody seemed to notice.

exactly. Which is why I stand by what I said originally. Oh and add Against Me! to the punk bands that could be considered sellouts now.

yea but it's a catch-22. People rip green day for selling out but green day has a multi-million dollar broadway show that won like 8 tonys running right now. I'll take that over taking a shiat on stage and dying of a heroin overdose.

      Panthers Sign QB Will Grier

      By SmokinwithWilly · Posted

      I'm really not stressing about upgrading from Bryce. I'm frustrated with our inability (or refusal) to recognize overall bad QB performance and failure to seriously address the issue. QB is the most impactful position on the field, and we're not only settling for what we've been given to this point, but we've rewarded it with a fully guaranteed 5th year extension for a player that's never played 2 NFL franchise QB quality games back to back in 3 seasons. I can't understand how that's ok from a coach's or GM's viewpoint. Successful franchises don't do things like this. It just doesn't make sense.  We do not have a top half of the league QB right now. Since we don't have that player, we should be looking for him. Pickett isn't it. Grier isn't it. Bryce hasn't proven he is yet. Until you have that sure fire franchise QB, you keep looking. You're not consistently making the playoffs, a deep run, or a SB appearance without one.  What's the worst that could happen? We end up with 2 potential number 1 QBs? How horrible.

      Easy to understand Pickett, if this is anywhere close to on point. Canales wants to get as close to Bryce as he can- get the pace and timing in the throws as close a he can to Bryce. So the other players don’t have to adjust so much, to a new guy.       If Cam was the 1, he would look for a rocket arm.  But Bryce is the 1. Look for limited in the same way.  Low velocity, plenty of air under it, feels just like home when Picket comes in. And you have the guys on the second team not having such a radical adjustment (if they have to play) like with Dalton to Bryce.    Enter Grier. I guess we will collect those types.

      Best part is if we draft him, we can also use him as our fourth and one QB sneaker
