Biggest sellouts?

[a7x1337]

Sorry if similar threads have been made, but I thought it'd be interesting to discuss bands, like them or not, that sold out. (If threads like this have been done recently, tell me. I'll just delete the thread)
I expect there to be lots of 'Green Day' replies.

Eminem.

Used to be great, now he just sucks.

[Tucker1616]

I'm not sure if Metallica would be considered a sellout but they sure do suck now.

cant think more.

But metallica wouldnt be classed as a sellout band, they have been around for like fuckin 20 odd years and have had 5 kick arse albums and shit, theyre not sellouts just getting old and doing what old people do, try other shit. They've established that they are a thrash, metal, heavy metal band and deliver some really cool fast fucking tunes they have already proved themselves, just let them be. They've gone through a heap of shit but they have delivered. I say Fucking thankyou METALLICA for

Theyre defintely not sellouts

[Tucker1616]

I wouldn't consider people like Britney Spears and Avril sellouts because their music sucked to start with. You can't sellout when your music is bland, radio friendly stuff to begin with. I know Metallica had a lot of good albums, they just aren't what they used to be.

[reggie jax]

Ozzy.......

[Emperer]

Demon Burger are fucking sellouts. Their music is actually good though, rare exception.

[DerekSmalls]

Ozzy.......
As much as it pains me to say it, yeah I kind of agree. I think Sharon had a large part to play though.

Sellout:

1. Any band that is popular/profitable
2. Any band that appears to be popular/profitable
3. Any band that you dont like
4. Any band that someone you dont like likes
5. Any band that makes a follow-up CD that isn't identical to the previous
6. Any band that changes their musical style
7. Any band that doesn't represent your style

etc

i own all of the metallcia cds and i love them all, but didn't metallica start the whole 'illegal downloading' dispute? not that it really matters, people still download and appear to be unaffected. as for my choice for a sellout, i'd have to say...50 cent? i like some of his songs, mostly the beats but you just can't kepp it real selling your own bottled water, it just isn't gangsta like he claims to be
