Biggest sellout group or band?


The Saltman

Recommended Posts

I dont really see Green Day as sellin out, didnt they announce that they would be taking their music in a different direction? Somehow my arguement doesnt convince me...

Metallica is the biggest one that comes to mind. First telling us that they dont need to do a video on MTV, then 2 weeks later Oh! We did a video for the song 'One'.. Then they get Bob Rock to produce their next album. The same Bob Rock that produced the likes of MotleyCrue, Cher and BonJovi.. How does a band that did such greatness as Ride the Lightning and Kill 'Em All turn to this guy? Then 5 videos for that album, that is the definition of sellout...

311 is another one. 2 awesome CDs, then a bunch of shiit. And not 'cause they went radio with their self-titled disc, but when you listen to that CD, the songs start, they sing, and the song is over. You dont get to hear the band play, but you did on Music and Grassroots. Chad Sexton is one of the sickest drummer to get behind a set, I'd put him next to Neil Peart and Stuart Copeland any day.. yea, I said it...

One of my favorite songs that speaks about this very topic...For your listening pleasure, here is Tool with 'Hooker with a Penis'...

Not enough instrumentation on Transistor for you?

I agree though, Grassroots is the besty.

They were never the same after they changed bass players... I still like their newer stuff okay, though.

Yeah, that was about the time their label decided Brandon was total chick bait and turned the band into pop ballad crap.

S.C.I.E.N.C.E. is on my top 10 list of all time albums.

Music is hands down their best.. I havent bought a 311 disc since '311'..I boycotted them for a long time. Something to do with meeting them and them being straight dicks. A good friend blazed them out on their bus, and they told him to leave immediately afterwards. He said "But I just smoked the Killer with y'all.." They told him he was "every guy in every town". Another buddy found out where their hotel was and went to tried to hang out, but was told "No dudes, only girls" Sort of understandable..If I lack respect for teh band, their music just isnt as appealing...

    • It wasn’t completely his fault, but outside of two throws and one or two scrambles he didn’t do much to help. His accuracy was all over the place, numerous passes that were placed poorly and didn’t give the receiver a good chance to catch the ball or do anything with it after. He also continues to display terrible pocket awareness. Even the sacks could have been avoided, they weren’t immediate like the pressure we got on Shough at times. Bryce just often has no feel for pressure and stands there waiting to get sacked after numerous seconds have passed. 
    • I really fuging hate this era in so many ways.  I look at those Adin Ross and Neon kids, and I just wonder why tf are they famous?  Why would anyone be desperate enough to gain THAT audience that they’d risk money, career, disciplinary action to go up there and associate with those fuging dweebs?  And back in my day, racist peers got their ass beat.  And not endorsing or approving bully culture, but checks and balances and all…  had those two been bullied, or at the very least humbled, they wouldn’t be famous and glorified for being the fuging idiots they are now.  It seriously pisses me off… they both have done and said multiple, openly racist stuff and major media keeps pushing them, talking about them, and propping them up… and then dummies like Puka who don’t need the platform or exposure lend their celebrity to them.  fuging idiot… and even the other streamers, I don’t get - Speed, Kai…  I don’t understand making nobodies famous at all, but there is at least entertainment value to some degree there, and I could see how young, impressionable kids would find them something to aspire to (sadly), or view as “cool.”  But Ross and Neon?  They’re just shitty, shitty nerds with big ass mouths. I’ve went back recently and watched some classics (in two very different eras and categories 😂)  like Robocop and Idiocracy.  And what I find fascinating is how both movies illustrate how stupid society became by showing what the citizenry is entertained by.  In both, society became anti-intellectual and the citizenry were entertained by lowest denominator, primal-type absurdity - poo like, “Ouch! My Balls!”  Or on Robocop, a guy is a watching a show where they are smashing cakes on ladies’ breasts and then a guy says a line as the camera zooms in like, “I’d buy that for a dollar!” and the audience thinks it’s hilarious.  That’s where I feel like we are now.  Like who watches that clip with Puka and thinks any of that poo is funny or cool?  If I was Puka, I’d honestly be wondering why tf I’m hanging out with these beta ass, racist, cretin ass weirdos.
