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.
I became a fan of Greenday when the Dookie album came out.

I am still just as much of a fan as I ever was.

Just because they have developed a younger fan base and have achieved some success doesn't mean they have sold out.

They are making music just as good now as they ever did.

The destruction of the past is perhaps the greatest of all crimes.
