i gotsa agree jacky d here. the black lips were on tiny record labels like bomp and **** and that is TOTALLY not selling out. but yes, i guess thats the dictionary term, but thats not the commonly used term. i say signing to a BIG label is selling out.

I don't think it's that black and white. There are some labels more respectable than others, and some bands take a different route. It all depends on the situation.

I agree, I even like fall out boys new album the most. I think its a bit more rocking than the last. Id love to see them live sometime.

Their live CD is awful. Patrick Stump really can't sing.

Please spare us and go to a Fall Out Boy thread. Fall Out Boy fans do not have a place in musicbanter.

i'd have to agree with GuitarBizarre. Dookie, in fact, does not own or pown or whatever. It just doesn't.
