Biggest sellout group or band?

[Crixtala]

I think the anti-sellout would be Pearl Jam. They got huge and still stayed as non commercial as possible, even boycotting ticketmaster for a while. Still have not heard any of their stuff on commercials.

It's too bad Eddie Veder's a monumental douche... walked away from their show at Bonnaroo two years ago after one song because he couldn't stop preaching about God knows what.

They have to made it before they actually sellout.

They made it already.

[Panthro]

They made it already.

no they haven't. I enjoy them so don't take my remark as me attacking them. Sure they were/are a mainstay in the punk scene but haven't crossed over to mainstream. Green Day and Rise Against both did.

Ice Cube, not necessarily music, but overall sellout (see TBS)

I'll agree with Greenday selling out too

[Dpantherman]

They went from this :thumbsup:

it's impossible for a "punk" artist to cross over into the mainstream and not be considered a sellout.

BEP and Green day were the two that came to mind.

Pre-fergie BEP was good.

Red Hot Chili Peppers have gone completely full-tilt sellout IMO. They just did it at such a slow pace that nobody seemed to notice.

exactly. Which is why I stand by what I said originally. Oh and add Against Me! to the punk bands that could be considered sellouts now.

yea but it's a catch-22. People rip green day for selling out but green day has a multi-million dollar broadway show that won like 8 tonys running right now. I'll take that over taking a shiat on stage and dying of a heroin overdose.

[The Saltman]

lol who took a shiit on stage?

[mmmbeans]

gg allin used to do it all the time.

[The Saltman]

lol just imagine...you come to see your fav band play and they take a big shiit on stage...I would have nightmares for weeks..

[mmmbeans]

dude used to pee on and fight his fans... including the women.

now that's f*cking punk rock. Compared to that everyone who ever existed has sold out.
