@Locke I have no problem with bands making a ton of money. I don’t even really have a problem if they license their songs for advertising, movies, etc as they are their songs and can do whatever they want. I use the sell-out label with bands that dramatically change and/or water down their sound to reach a larger audience. THAT I have a problem with. Basically, my opinion is that making money isn’t selling out but changing your sound to make more money is.

Hilarious!
It’s a funny thing, I used to be really down on Rock Band and Guitar Player, until I realized that the kids of today are recieving an incredible education in classic rock via these silly little games.
The bands themselves have wisely realized that this is a great way to gain new fans.
Me? I love that these kids will know what REAL music played my musicians sounds like and will thus refuse to listen to the lame, weak bands of today, like Nickleback, Coldplay, and the not to mention the latest American Idols or Girl/Boy bands.

Wow, if there is one argument by music fans I can’t stand it’s the “so-and-so sold out.” No, so-and-so got paid and is living like a… oh yeah… rock star.
.
Regardless, as an avid guitar hero player, I was glad to see some more serious music put into a game and for the first time in the franchise, have a worth while expansion. Also, glad to see a band with cajones (as opposed to Aerosmith) given the opertunity to have a GH game and resurect their album sales.
.
Now if AC/DC, Led Zeplin and other classic rockers would remove the “intelectual property” stick from their anuses, we could have more good tracks on a GH game… not La Bamba.

I’m not quite convinced by the date of ’95 cause Metallica released ‘Load’ in ’96 which was sort of a deathblow to their former fanbase and the beginning of their sell-out policy.
