The Wicked Hand Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 All he is saying is he thinks changing your songs or image to sell records is selling out.Basically doing somethin you dont want in order to fit in musically with what someones idea of whats hot or sells is.If you see it like that i dont think gnr or slash has compromised their musical expression.Others may see playing w a certain artist a sellout move, buylt wht if they want to ????Everyone has their own pines drawn on what they think sellin out is. And thats fine. Diversity makes the world turn baby! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Len B'stard Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 (edited) Riiiiiight, so playing with Fergie is selling out how? He's still true to his style of guitar playing and his niche, Slash didn't go to Fergie, Fergie came to Slash.Although these are major record label artists so the very notion of selling out/not selling out is ridiculous. You wanna talk about sellout, did Axl Rose not agree to NuGuns work being lisenced to some fuckin videogame? Is Axl Rose not the person getting in with fuckin Dr Pepper to hawk an album? Slash and Axl both are as valuable to major record labels as the money invested in them and they'll wring that out of their arses when they want it.But all in all, i find it hilairious that a bunch of people like the ones who populate this forum go on about selling out and integrity. Fans of like Queen and Guns n Roses and Michael Jackson waxing intellectual about which one of em is a sellout, NEWSFLASH, as far as the meaning of the term sellout goes in rock n roll, Slash, Axl and...well, anybody thats played in anything resembling a stadium is usually a sellout, you're talking about like...a kind of ethics that doesn't even factor into bands like GnR.Didn't Slash and Axl do a fucking commercial for some magazine together once? And you guys are sitting here seriously trying to make a case for one of them being a sellout and the other not, psshh, don't embarass yourselves.

Guest Len B'stard Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 (edited) So with that logic about over 3000 artists are sellouts? The video game shit was a 2006-2010 fad.Yes over 3,000 artists can be sellouts, why not? Just because a volume of a group of people increases it doesn't have any bearing on their ability or lack of ability to have integrity, i fail to see how the number 3,000 has any relevance to the fact that a group of people might be sellouts? So what, the more of them there are the least likely they are to be sellouts, is that what you're saying?Has nothing to do with Axl. Dr Pepper took it upon themselves to give out free drinks Right but he's an artist with integrity that can send cease and desist letters to the people that run internet forums but he can't to a soft drinks company that seem to be taking it upon themselves to become a part of how his art is marketed?This is what i mean by people using terms like sellout and all this when it appears that they have very little to no understanding of the term and what it means.

Chewbacca Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 Rockstars should chill out about selling out. It has become a need nowadays. I consider most of my favorite artists "soldout" and I still like them. Of course, sometimes they go overboard, but, then again, everybody makes mistakes.

moreblack Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 Generally it's more a feeling by the old fans, that the band was better when they were their little secret i.e. before the masses discovered them. That's why some people still insist the first 2 Iron Maiden albums are the best, or In Rock is better than Machine Head or Burn and so on and so forth...

Guest Len B'stard Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 Generally it's more a feeling by the old fans, that the band was better when they were their little secret i.e. before the masses discovered them. That's why some people still insist the first 2 Iron Maiden albums are the best, or In Rock is better than Machine Head or Burn and so on and so forth...Early on though bands are more raw, more prey to instinct rather than intellect and more pure as a result. The steam that you make it under is generally the real thing. Also music that is made by a first time band that don't really believe they're gonna make it tends to have more integrity because they're doing it for nothing but the music. With debuts the tendency is to just go for it, makes the bestest album you can, after that its like, OK, this is more sophmore after fame so its gotta be more cynical, this is my third so i gotta make my big artist splash, perhaps a double album and so on and so forth whereas debuts are generally a lot more...pure than that. Least i think so. Of course, none of this is like, THE rule, y'know, shit works differently in different instances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they were asking for it, I'd sell my music to FUCKING EVERYONEI think sellout is more to do with ones integrity, not your music, you're MEANT to sell that to as many people as you can, thats the idea It's your integrity that shouldn't be for sale.
