Fall Out Boy

But, to me, they (as a band) did not sell out in any way. They started the band with a certain goal, and they achieved well beyond that goal, and they happened to do a pretty good job at it.

I'm talking more about things like this clip which features blatant shilling for at least 3 companies (probably more, I'm remembering off the top of my head) and that one of their tours was called something like "The HONDA CIVIC tour with fallout boy".
Anyway being completely disingenuous i.e; "I'm not in this band because I enjoy the music we play but because it is strategically targeted to make us a lot of money/fuck barely legals" isn't even close to being better than "selling out".

I don't really give a fuck, I will rock out to Take This To Your Grave and like it. It's got some catchy tunes on it.

Dovey I watched your link and the only product placement I really noticed (and I was looking) was for Nokia (that one was easy), Mesa, Sabian, chimpanzees, chess and shitty haircuts. And I'm ok with Mesa and Sabian because we use the same equipment in my band? I guess having amps in the background is not a big deal anyway.

Also whatever car they are driving and the deoderant body spray shit
