I just grow despondent when people say "that band sold out" when they mean to say "their later albums showed a change in direction." It's like a hot button for idiots that like to insult a band without actually having to offer any logical reasoning.
Personally, I don't say that any bands... "sell out."

But I do think it means more than just changing the direction.

I feel that it means they began playing for the money rather than the music, therefore changing the direction of their focus AND music.

Do you disagree?

A little bit like Avril Lavigne and RJA. (Who are now both in Kohl's commercials.)

Red Jumpsuit Apparatus's singer is very egotistical in his ways, and gives off a very... "bow at my feet" presence. That's just my take of his attitude. >.<
