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.

^ thank you my friend.

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.

Once againnn, i agree with jacky d :)

no.

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

its because for 1 they started using synths,

2 instead of making music they like they make what others want to hear.

and thats not how it works.

you make what you want and if people like it thats good if they don't f@#! em.
