I don't care if people make money by being in Pop bands. I have a slight problem with TV shows like the X Factor and your [Insert Country] Idols but thats because what it produces (besides Leona) are pants, and it removes any competition from the Christmas number one, where as it was once battled being more interesting music that was about Christmas.
Otherwise I couldn't give a shit if people make money from music.
Getting money for making good music is alright, but making music TO get money is fucking stupid. If all the metal artists you like would share that stupid way of thinking with you, than they just would not exist. Real artists make music because they like to make music, they play the music they love because that's what's pushing em further. Making them go on. You can feel it when a band plays with heart, for the music and not for the money.
If you choose to follow trends, play a specific genre of music because it's popular, than you are just failling.
Just think about it...
When the guys from Ulver sat down to discuss about what they would like to record for their next album, do you think Garm said: "Hey guys, why don't we throw all that folk/black metal stuff to the bargage and start a boy band? Anyway, it's a lot more popular than black metal and it will help us get money and vags."
Wow... you talk like a real virgin...
Aww, is that what your arguments are coming to?
Cause getting vagina is what your arguments are coming to?
