Sell outs????

[toasty]

Who do you consider to be a gigantic sell out?

I have a couple of candidates but don’t want to steer the conversation in any particular direction too early

So tell me who you think is a sell out and if this thread gets some replies I’ll jump back in with mine

And if it doesn’t I’ll disavow all knowledge of it and any responsibility for its care

Green Day...twice apparently. When that album in 94 came out people said they sold out. When that album in 2000 something came out, the youngins once again said they sold out, not realizing that they were already sell outs.

I'm selling but no one is buying

I was selling out the world, brother, while they were bumming gas to put in their car to get to high school.

Green Day were good before everything was about politics with them. I like all of their music pre-American Idiot. I liked them better when they were talking about jacking off and stuff around where they grew up.

Occasionally I'd see memes of celeb with no haters, and Jackie Chan would be one of them but a lot of people in the west doesn't know that he is actually one of the biggest sell out. He was my childhood idol growing up in Taiwan, but now here and in Hong Kong, he is deeply unpopular because there were many personal life scandals but most importantly, he went from being a freedom fighter for Hong Kong to now kowtowing to CCP in order to make as much money as he can.

Here is him in 1989 condemning CCP for the Tiananmen massacre when it would score brownie points with people in Hong Kong furthering his career.

Once he recognize the market and earning potential if he aligns himself with the communist party, he started to make pro-Beijin statement and publicly expressed desire to actually join the party.

This punk band was better before they got political!

They have always been political

Rage against the machine becoming rage for the machine wasn’t what I ever saw coming

 

[Tito Tapped]

Rage Against the Machine has become the machine.

Yeah no shit. As are most punk bands, but when it’s all they talk about it turns me off. There’s plenty of punk bands who don’t make everything about politics; to include Green Day’s first 3-4 albums. Also, Billie Joe has turned into a whiney old bastard.

 

[Swamps]

Green Day sucked even before the sold out.

All those comedians who went to Saudi Arabia

All those comedians who went to Saudi Arabia

Agreed.

Also, is a band a sellout if they never had integrity to begin with? I’m thinking of bands like Nickelback, Smashmouth, Disturbed, Trapt, etc.
They clearly never had any intention of doing anything other than maximizing their revenue.

They didn’t have like 3 or 4 great albums then drop The Black Album, like some bands.

Don't forget the entertainers and sports stars...
