Why do so many people hate Anders Friden?

[Taliesin]

I think the whole concept of "selling out" is fundamentally irrelevant. The only thing that matters about a piece of music, or any other creative work, is quality. If a piece of work is good, it really doesn't matter or shouldn't matter how "true to their roots" the artist is being.

So, in light of all this I think we can say that the main issue with In Flames post Clayman output, artistically, is that it is complete shit.

I for one think the two are connected, which makes it fundamentally relevant, instead of irrelevant.. but that might just be me.

Ya dude has no talent, can't write a song, has no power in his voice, probably not even relevant... I mean what's over 100 million views on youtube and millions of dollars right? Only bums with no jobs and ambitions have all the talent while people with no skill succeed like Anders... wait...
