Sellout Bands?
« on: February 01, 2012, 12:10:19 PM »
Just a question . . .

In punk, especially melodic hardcore, a band that signs to a major label will be branded a sellout and lose a lot of its fan base.  Is it the same for metal?  I wouldn't think so, since we venerate bands like Death who were on Roadrunner records

I own a record label.  I release shitty music.  If you like your ears, don't buy anything from me.  So far, we have made $50

Death only released one album on Roadrunner though. And they, or Roadracer as they were known in the early days were a very reputable label. And anyone who stops listening to a band solely because they signed for a bigger label is a moron full stop.
