unfortunatley few of my favorite musicians became sell-outs..
im talking about jimmy page and deep purple as a whole..
Jimmy page is a sell out because instead of recording new stuff or retiring he is doing silly things with all the toy rapers and limp bizkit. i feel that he sells himself for some money and i think it is realy realy sad that he does it , no matter what are his reasons for doing that.
About deep purple: well as a band they are great players and everything, but jon lord (who has quit the band recentley): "we dont go to the studio everytime because we like it that much. We have to earn money"
The band now plays sucky music and ian gillan cant sing no more.
They all hate ritchie blackmore and everything but he is the only musician in the whole world who'll never be a sell out. When he found out he cant do anything new and good in rock anymore, he started to play all the briton based dark ages music, which is not as good as a "real" classical music but you can realy feel they guy cares about only one thing : playing only the things he wants to play..
