Bands have a habit of being destroyed by money. Look at Metallica. They were the ultimate in the 80's. They said fuck the system. They never made a video until "One" in late '88. The vidoe in it's self was not a sell out, just the Metaliboys figuring they tolled around enough without mainstream exposure. They hook up with Bob Rock and let the decline begin.
All through out the history of rock/metal, bands are forced to make the choice: stick to your guns and remain underground but true to your roots or try and rake in the cash. Bands have a hard time these days trying to tell MTV to fuck off. It's sad but MTV makes and breaks bands daily.
