thank's. and can you believe that MTV said that AFI was a new and upcoming artist?!? (sorry, MTV is basically the only channel that I watch when something good is on) I just think it's crazy how more and more bands that use to be the "we dont make music video's because that's selling out" are starting to make music videos. I just about pissed myself when I saw the Ataris on mtv...what do you guys think about all of this? I know they're not technically selling-out..because they're not changing their music for the record companys or to try and fit in with the crowd...but seriously I just think it's crazy, music is to be heard with the ears, and pictured with the mind in my opinion.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
The thing about bands like the ataris and afi becoming mainstream, isn't that the music isn't changing, but that "punk rawk" is the next tennybopper fad. Pop punk bands like Good Charolette and New Found Glory are getting big, so record companies are actually sending legitimate bands out in to the mainstream, hoping for the same sucess. being a fan of afi,(not for a long time though...) this change is really weird, but we'll all have to get used to it, i guess. Well that just what i think is going on so oh well. I ohpe that made sense to someone.
