It drives me nuts when people like a band and want to see them succeed, yet the minute they do reach success they're suddenly "sell-outs".
I don't think they sold out at all. The Killadelphia DVD documents them on the road and partying and hanging out and even kicking the shit out of each other in Ireland, they still seem really down to Earth. They're only sellouts in my opinion if they're on cereal boxes, video games, in movies and shit like that. Getting your artistry out to a broader audience is hardly selling out.
