It shouldn't be able making a couple more million dollars to some of these bands. 'But once again, I didn't mean to take away anything from them initally, bands like AFI, Greenday(even though I feel they should of called it quits), and Metallica earned their rights to sell out by playing the same stuff for over a decade. Like I said, it's my opinion but some of these bands need to know when to call it quits.
They still have to make a living. With Green Day they had to change, you can't keep doing the same thing. They got older, and adjusted. I dont enjoy their new stuff, but I totally understand where they are coming from. When they were younger who knows what type of money they had recieved. Maybe they didnt get as much as you think.
