That's a ridiculous statement... You're upset because GOOD metal bands are top sellers? I'd say that's a damn good thing. This insures that the bands WILL be sticking around because they're making the money they deserve. What results is better production, better tours, and nothing that could be seen as a bad result.

Don't do that " I'm so metal and underground it hurts " thing man... I love metal to death, and to see bands like In Flames and CoB hit the bigtime is cool with me.

trash my views all you want it wont change them, it shouldnt be on any fucking comercial, it doesnt have any place there, i dont mind it being liked, but the whole world shouldnt have it stuffed in its face like some god damn nsync album.

Two words,

Who cares?

well obviously moonsorrow does! i must admit to pangs of regret when a band i held as a special secret became big (the verve's first two records and two eps were interstellar, then the bag of sh*t that is 'urban hymns' got mainstream).. there's no doubt that a transformation sometimes occurs and the music *can* get watered down as it is projected to a larger audience. age'll also do this to you, a sort've inevitable drift as you get older.. look at early sabbath vs. the ballads of 80s ozzy as an example!

all that said, we shouldn't begrudge our favorites any success. they're the same as us, just after a more comfortable life, trying to get paid for doing something they love. that's very bloody difficult in the music biz. if you became a successful musician, how would you feel if an irritated fan approached you with the comment, 'oh i wish you'd stayed underground.' you'd be like, 'f*ck off pal, i've earned this or been extremely lucky, or both, and i'm gonna enjoy it!' well, i guess i would anyway! how gracious of me..!

AND even if your favorite band 'makes it,' there will always be an underground. it's sorta like shark teeth..

i know next to nothing about scandanavian metal but have heard of 'emperor' and 'cirkle' being pretty formiddable, though the latter could hardly be considered straight metal (far from it)

buddys says it best, thats exactley what im talking about... what if the sins of thy beloved starts adapting its style the a wider audience? i mean shit cutting back on the crazy violins... would be wrong, it would just be wrong.

Buddy said it well.

At the end of the day it's not as if Metallica is at number one. And if they were so what?

On the other hand if a band changes it's ethics/style simply for money then it's wrong, but hwo's to blame them?

At the end of the day they're humans and they can do what the fuck they like. Except murder and rape etc.

Lol... You're too underground for your own good. The bands are out there trying to make a living, just like any other band out there. No one strictly does it " for the music " there are ALWAYS ulterior motives.

hey i got a bit peed-off recently when i heard ween's 'ocean man' on a car commercial. i mean, i guess they've been trying to do tongue in cheek ad music for a while.. they had a pizza hut jingle rejected that went 'where'd the m*therf*ckin' cheese go?'
