"The only issue I'd have would be the idea of having to change your music to appeal more to the masses, which I don't think I could do. Just looking for your thoughts really."
That's what selling out is all about. If you need loads of money to survive (you know you don't) and are willing to do whatever your told to without having much say on it, and being forced to play something you don't like just so you would get it, it's up to you really. There are loads of bands not on major labels that get enough recognition through the music they play and like to play, and some of them if they're successful enough and manage their money well get to be rich.
I really don't care if other people do it or not, as everyone as the right to do whatever they want, but i don't know how can they feel better that way than doing what they really like to do.
"I really don't want to be on top of the world one week, then working in a Supermarket the next."
That's exactly what happens to a lot of bands that sellout :thumbsup: Your point there makes no sense. That's the reason why you have so many one hit wonders. They just appear while it's the trend and are sent home when the trend is over.
