    As much as I love Wes Borland as a musician and a Painter, I think it was pretty gay that he returned to Limp Bizkit. Even though 6 days previously he stated that they were a shit band and that he would never re join them.
    He turned down being a member of Nine Inch Nails in 2004 to go to limp(only to quit in 2006). Then recently he quit playing for Manson to rejoin Bizkit. Although, right now Manson is sucking more than Bizkit.

    People who like Fred Durst should die.

    How is that selling out? Sounds more like knowing how to make money to me. It's not like he went lower than wrestling...

    Take Bill Goldberg per example... same thing, yet he actually managed to be in movies that sucked slightly less than the ones The Rock was in.

    Don't most if not all musicians sell out when they sign that 3 record deal with a major record company?

    I don't care if people sell out.

    How do you work that out?

    Isn't "selling out" just being a complete hypocrite?

    I'll take that as a homoerotic compliment.

    Perhaps, but isn't selling out all in the eye of the beholder.

    I'm a fan a wrestling, so when The Rock left to do movies he was a sell out to ME.

    In regards to Fred Durst he sold out with anything after his first album. I couldn't say that to anyone who was listening to that tripe.... though I did admit I like pro wrestling so I'm sure about 80% of my opinion gives even less of shit now than it did before you read that tidbit of information.

    He greeted the prince with a kiss on both cheeks. They previously met 3 years ago at the Crawford ranch where President Bush later said of the meeting, he developed a "strong personal bond" with the Saudi Crown Prince.

    A barrel of oil cost $25 three years ago. Today it costs $54. The meeting was to discuss oil, the war on terror and efforts to extend democracy and peace in the Middle East. "This is an important relationship," Bush said. "A high oil price will damage markets.

    Rusted Root. A prime example of sellout. These were the most granola kids, with the most granola sound, until they scored a record deal, kicked out the band members that didnt want to sell out, and tried to make radio music.
    Epic Fail, long before Epic Fails were cool.

    Most good musicians sell out gradually over their careers, as with most actors and directors.

    Correctly put.

    That's why intellectuals, like you and I, have a fine-tuned taste for musicians who are lacking in quality but remain true to their cult defined dignity. :cool:
