Is not so much as changing the EQ settings on your amp since 1976 to sell to the same dadrock crowd the same level of sellouting as the Black Album was?

>music used in a mind-blowing number of ads and marketing

>merchandise out the ass

>never developed artistically, just put out the same album over and over again because it sells

I would go more with Metallica because the specifically made music to sell out. AC/DC would probably still make the same shit even if it wasn't used in as many ads.

I think we can all agree that Nickelback was the most artistically motivated band ever, and has not sold out once.

It's hard to sell out when your first hit record was already made for radio.

The term dadrock is fucking retarded, just like memerap.

It's just older mainstream rock.
