To me as an artist, who puts my LIFE into music, who eats breaths shits music, who lives for nothing more, its a slap in the face when artist who only want to make money are reveared....
Not bashing HIM specifically, as their are SOOOOOOOO many worse then them, but they are boarderline.....and thus, it rubs me the wrong way......

I completely understand. I usually never like bands like that. And i wouldve found out about, and wouldve liked HIM no matter if they were mainstream or not. But there isnt very many bands out there like that. Most of the bands i considered cool usually sell out *cough* Bad Religion *cough* but its really dissapointing when things like this happen. But most of the music i listen to, the artists make very little money anymore.
