I haven't seen a TOOL video on MTV in a looooooooong-ass time - and I've never seen an APC video. When does MTV play videos again now? On TRL?
The only scant few videos MTV ever plays are geared towards teenyboppers and the hip hop fans.
I'm not even a huge APC fan but I don't think they were a sell-out either. APC is based around prog rock bands like King Crimson - and when they first came out there was
nothing less cool then prog rock. I remember Rolling Stone dismissed them as being prog rock and said they would never ever sell CDs in the trendy music marketplace. Hardly a sell-out. "yea, let's sell 7 minute epic prog rock songs that don't follow any traditional song structure to the kids. That's all the rage right now!" Once again, love 'em or hate 'em, they're not following trends.
