He's just quit all that for a pop band about to put out their first single under Capitol Records. And he loves it. This is why there's so little good in the alt and semi-alt world anymore. All our talent gets stolen by the easy girls and easy money of the mainstream.

And they love it. Hell, wouldn't you? Or would you?

I don't think I would. But I understand him. ]]> http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=211&Focus=5809#Comment_5809 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=211&Focus=5809#Comment_5809 Fri, 07 Dec 2007 03:57:22 -0800 adamatsya
I would. With the option of stopping, of course, when I didn't want to any more. but it sounds a bit like an exciting adventure to me. ]]> http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=211&Focus=5810#Comment_5810 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=211&Focus=5810#Comment_5810 Fri, 07 Dec 2007 04:06:21 -0800 reasonableman http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=211&Focus=5811#Comment_5811 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=211&Focus=5811#Comment_5811 Fri, 07 Dec 2007 04:06:59 -0800 Vespers
Well of course there's the option of stopping. It's not like the mainstream schlock really requires effort, just personality, so even lasting contracts shouldn't be to hard to fulfill while dropping back into the alt to make real stuff again.

It does sound a bit exciting. Money and girls and parties and fun. ]]> http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=211&Focus=5812#Comment_5812 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=211&Focus=5812#Comment_5812 Fri, 07 Dec 2007 04:20:51 -0800 lex http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=211&Focus=5814#Comment_5814 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=211&Focus=5814#Comment_5814 Fri, 07 Dec 2007 04:29:15 -0800 Cat Vincent http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=211&Focus=5817#Comment_5817 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=211&Focus=5817#Comment_5817 Fri, 07 Dec 2007 04:34:00 -0800 Vespers http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=211&Focus=5945#Comment_5945 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=211&Focus=5945#Comment_5945 Fri, 07 Dec 2007 11:00:08 -0800 joe.distort "

seriously though, there is a TON of good music out there that is independent and fully functioning outside of the industry. the amount of records i have released by some random dude helping out a band or the shows i've seen in living rooms and storage units refreshes me every time it happens. sure, there are still a handful of major label bands worth a shit, but most of it is lowest common denominator drivel.

however, i don't see the problem with him making a little money doing side projects like this. thats not really selling out. if one of the ska or metal projects had decided to start playing like dave matthews to make some money, however thats different. ]]> http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=211&Focus=5947#Comment_5947 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=211&Focus=5947#Comment_5947 Fri, 07 Dec 2007 11:07:54 -0800 ARES
As far as selling out goes, yeah I would do it. Make a ton of cash, retire young, make obscure music for the rest of my life without having to worry about stupid day to day shit like bills?

On the other hand, I did spend a few months last year playing for a commercial pop project that's managed by someone that also deals with various Pop Idol types... and I really hated that. There was a major discussion over whether I looked young enough - it was decided that we'd lie about my age, which was 27 at the time - and another over whether my guitar looked cool enough. At least playing weddings and corporate parties means I'm an HONEST whore - I'm not sucking cock and calling myself a courtesan. ]]> http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=211&Focus=6021#Comment_6021 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=211&Focus=6021#Comment_6021 Fri, 07 Dec 2007 14:41:44 -0800 joe.distort http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=211&Focus=6028#Comment_6028 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=211&Focus=6028#Comment_6028 Fri, 07 Dec 2007 15:00:42 -0800 Joe Paoli http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=211&Focus=6035#Comment_6035 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=211&Focus=6035#Comment_6035 Fri, 07 Dec 2007 15:14:00 -0800 eggzoomin http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=211&Focus=6044#Comment_6044 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=211&Focus=6044#Comment_6044 Fri, 07 Dec 2007 15:33:44 -0800 ARES side comment not relevant to the discussion: ARES, i have only been on here a week or so, but we seem to be in a similar mindset on most musical discussions (if not genres!). its always nice, like when i find someone who reads good comics on a hardcore board.
