They must have done something good, since they are standing on the stage and since they have released I don't know how many albums(?) and have some fans..
I think that It's the people trowing rocks that are stupid, I mean, they pay money to go to the concert just to throw rocks at a band they don't like.. That's just my opinion [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]
I would never waste my money that way, I would save it to buy a guitar [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

A crew of marketing people that know how to sell a band to the the mass people? You think people choose to listen to this garbage? Its force fed down their throats through Mtv and the Radio. They don't know any better.

I have chosen to listen to them, at least some of their songs and I don't watch MTV and I rarely listen to the radio, so I don't agree with you.

Well thats how they got their fame here and their "hit" singles. The sound file speaks for itself, they just copy their own crap and it sells to the masses.
Yes I understand that, but I'm just saying that everyone Is not forced to listen to them.
About the copying of their own songs, I think that they'll be forced to change a bit when they start loosing fans, and I know that will happen. I'm not a big fan of them I just like some of their songs.

They pulled it off and made millions, seems to me they deserve respect for that fact.
None of you would pass up on the same opportunity. Integrity means jack shit as soon as our trusted buddy, the dollar, comes into play.

Hear the universe scream
Bleeding from black holes
Whom horns careless
And whom God mourns
Yeah, I see your point. I tend to think of people as hypocrites when they bitch about people selling out. If some dude walked up to you and offered you a million dollar contract, I think it would be hard to pass up (after all, a million dollars is a lot of guitars [img]/images/graemlins/headbang.gif[/img]).
If you're flammable and have legs, you are never blocking a fire exit. Unless you are a table.

you know, people have the option to change the channel or radio station to listen something else.

Not in Canada. They have the Cancon law that ensures that these assclowns are played about twice an hour on any Canadian rock station. People are sheep & buy what they hear on the radio. Proven fact. The Cancon rules haven't helped new Canadian artists break out, either. Stations play it safe & meet their quotas by playing more of the same Nickelback, Avril, Celine, Alanis, etc.
