Well, I think some accusations of a band 'selling out' are over-exaggerated. Like Dimmu Borgir. Sure their music sucks nowadays, but I wouldn't call them sell outs.
In Flames sold out to the mallcore crowd big-time, especially those emo 'my girlfirend dumped me my life is a black abyss' types. Listen to the song 'Upon an Oaken Throne' (from when they kicked ass) and compare it to 'I'm the Highway' (from their most recent album). You'll see what I mean. For
GOD sakes, the band released a music video that looked like a GHETTO RAP video you see on MTV!!! (Touch of
Red)
