give an example of a famous sellout

mine - flavor flav

went from public enemy, with songs like "she watch channel zero" and "burn, hollywood burn" to "flavor of love"

 

Bob Dylan when he found god, again.

 

..

 

Metallica. They'd be easier to enjoy if they weren't money hungry pricks.

 

Sun Microsystems

 

the dead..

 

William S. Burroughs--

All agents defect, and all resisters sell out. That's the sad truth, Bill. And a writer? A writer lives the sad truth like anyone else. The only difference is, he files a report on it.

 

fred durst, carlos santana

 

Three Six Mafia.

They went from this:


To this:

 

What did Fred Durst sell out of? It's not like he was ever a decent human being or musician.

 

Gene Simmons.

 

exactly what i was wondering. a prerequisite of selling out is not being lousy to begin with, on at least one level.

 

John Gotti

 

Generation X. We either sold out or refused to move forward at all.

 

dunno if it's even worth it to respond to you, but he's the stereotypical sellout

 

Actually if you read recent interviews youll see he un-sold out.

 

Nope i mean fred durst lol. people just like to hate him. he actually hasnt done anything to be a sell out. He just writes really cheesy rhymes.

 

and he always has.

to be a sellout, you first have to be good in some way. fred durst was never very good musically and never stood up for some cause or anything else. he never did anything noteworthy beyond pandering to the lowest common denominator.

it's impossible for someone to sell out if they were always complete shit.

 

He did it all for the nookie

 

For Fred to sell out, he would have to endure years of musical training.

just listen to this sick nasty guitar solo! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2MI-_jWAmlE

 

jesus christ!

:rofl:

 

The Rock. He took the industry that made him famous (pro wrestling) and used it to jump start a movie career.
