I agee JD. There's nothing worse than being stuck in a job where you get paid well, but you are not doing what you love. I would rather do what I love, for example if I played in a band, heavy metal music, rather than selling out playing music I hated just for a bit of cash. And yes, there are things so much more important than money. I too am glad just to be healthy and have a roof over my head. [Show/Hide Quoted Message](Quoting Message by J.D.

LOL! Well....yeah your right!! lol! It is very hard to say........I personally "would not". Why? Because I would "HATE" my job...playing music I don't like and having to play
show after show after show acting like I am enjoying what I'm doing.......yeah I would have the million dollar contract but I would become VERY depressed and unhappy
very fast. I don't think money is everything.........I often think like this whenever I see somebody that has cancer....I think to myself...I am healthy and I have a roof over my head
and think to myself...how could I be bitching about wanting more money and wanting more things when I just saw this person that has a life threatening illness? It really
brings me down to earth and charrish what I have........so getting rich is really not that imprtant to me. Somebody else may have a different opinion and thats fine..but for
me I could never sell out heavy metal to a record label's idea of thier sound and image.

I see what you mean. It's a shame but you're right in so much as there are far more bands that sell out than those that stay true to their "dream"...unless of course that "dream" is to make cash. It's hard to say what it is in a person's mind and it is harder to say what I would do if a record label waved a million dollar contract in front of me and said, "put on a hockey jersey and a hat"... HA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Gotta admit, my friend, I would be VERY tempted.
