Music and Integrity have nothing to do with it!

The film we viewed in class was a classic way that bands rise to fame and fall out of the graces of their fans. The film discusses bands like Metallica and how they change their sound to gain a larger audience.  Bands who water down their music are considered to be sell outs.  If they stuck to their original sound they would probably keep their core audience while gaining new fans.  The film goes on to talk about how it hard to stay in the music business because it so trendy, because fads come and go so quickly.  The film also touches on what goes into creating a tour.  The example they use is Guns n Roses tour's.  Talking about Guns n Roses and Stone Temple Pilots are making a collaboration as Velvet Revolver.  The only reason they get any recognition is because they have members from famous bands and record companies have spent millions of dollars on advertising. Velvet Revolver would probably have not made it with out this advertisement.  Music and Integrity have nothing to do with it.
