for those of us passionate about metal...this is the place to discuss bands who have betrayed us and sold out.

The obvious one is metallica but does anyone who listens to in flames feel that same way...what about children of bodom??did they sell out, change thier sound...bands of the past...bands like anthrax??
Comments welcome!

You sad sad little man.

Who gives a fuck if bands "sell out"? Personally, I don't.

Something the last two posters are renouned for.

 

[Kreator/Destroyer]

i'm not a troll...but i see where you're going with the stupid posts...

 

[LivingCadaver]

Mastodon sorta sold out since they signed on a major label but their music still kick major asses!!!

As long the band don't turn to shit who gives a fuck?

^ I wouldnt concider that selling out. Selling out is when you start playing poser metal or stop playing metal all together. Thats why they calling it selling out cause they sold out their metal fanbase to appeal to pussies. (Burzum being the only accepting of a metal band turning into a non metal band)

Machine Head are one of the biggest sell-outs in the world. They went from being a great Post Thrash/Groove Metal band to Nu Metal now they are just puss-metal with the last album.

No, and you are stupid. There are plenty of other metal bands that have stopped playing metal, or changed their style, and didn't "sell out".

Katatonia

Katatonia are still good. I love their newer style.

 

[Phoenix5]

First off... Ulver is amazing at what they do.

Katatonia had to change. Jonas was incapable of doing to growls, (and it would have been tougher to keep Akerfeldt while he was already doing Opeth and all) that's why they changed. His vocals have only gotten better since Discouraged Ones.

Ulver, you fucking delinquent.

Selling out is changing your style in order to meet commercial standards. Ulver changed their style of music because they obviously just wanted to do something different.

I guess it's a matter of taste. The only Katatonia albums I can get into are the first two.

 

[PanzerKunt]

The amount of idiots on this board proves that UM sold out.
