Do you think Rock Artists lose credibility when going to reality shows?

It's all bulls-hit.

I can't fancy Vai in a reality show. I can't fancy Pat Metheny or Bryan Beller in a reality show. I just can't. Ozzy lost the plot entirely long time ago. I love his music, though; I've always loved him. But I'll go with a yes.

Damn, I knew I should have specified better.

I did not watch it entirely, I got better stuff to do (like clarifying points to strangers on the internet) I watched some episodes, and they were amusing. Kelly chasing his bro with a diildo? Yeah.

ummmm to answer the original post i think in general people would think these guys lose credibility if it wasnt so common place. i think a lot of ppl consider it selling out and not being true rock or whatever but its just so common.

i personally dont care because i never take the images of any musician seriously since its all kinda gimmicky and exagerated. thats why i dont have a problem with ice cube selling out, cause i never considered him a real thug anyways. though i think once you cross a line its hard to go back with image.

most the guys on shows are out of their primes so it doesnt matter much but its hard to take ppl like ice cube seriously with gangster lyrics after bein in kids movies. again i realize its an image but the illusion is gone.

Yeah, I found it hard to believe when I found out Ice Cube was supposed to be a gansta rapper and he was also allied with rappers as Eazy-E and Tupac.

I knew him first by his movies, of course.

I guess, once you sell out, the magic is lost. The first replier is right tbh. Those dudes are with one foot at the grave (sorry if this comes out as rude) they shouldn't give a **** about what is said about them, as long as they get money.

I still hope no one from Iron Maiden or STP, or groups around their age go to reality. Pedestals FTW!

It's a reminder that the people I looked up to as a kid are not special and are indeed just like the rest of us.

Musicians should not go to these kinds of programmes, which are nothing but tackiness; not even when they are absolutely ruined and look all haggard... unless they seriously need the money.
