PEOPLE ARE GREEDY. YOU ARE AN IDIOT. thats like asking why someone like bill gates doesnt sell off Microsoft and retire? He'd have more than enough money for his family and about 1000 generations of his family to live off....he wants more money, more power, as do we all

ok maybe so... but your equally idiotic for just thinking that bands like NB are in it for the money when you have nothing that even resembles any evidence... ok so TWO of their songs sounds the same... ive listened to anough of their others to know that there are barely ANY others that do if any at all. like i said before... if that is your proof of money-loving then theres a whole host of bands which could be accused of that- bands you may not expect- like Guns and roses for example- like i mentioend before.

its easy to take the view that everyones in it for the money because thats the way artists have been protrayed... do you work in the music business?... no.... do you have any first hand experience of a band deliberately making songs sound similar to make extra money?.... no....

all your information is passed on or just gossip...

i disagree on that- if someone handed me a nice sum of money (enough to live comfortably on for the rest of my life- say 50 grand a year- heck, even 25 grand a year, if it's adjusted up each year for inflation!), i'd retire tomorrow- and i'm 24.

most people are greedy, but not all are- i prefer having free time to money and power.

dude i didnt mean everyone - i meant most people; especially the ones who are already rich :?

exactly thats why you have to be careful using words like 'all' just like when you said "all their songs are the same"

I always thought musicians are in it to get laid....alot......the money is only one of the means to achieve that goal.

That 'mix' was too funny, proves everything you need to know about that band - formulaic.

I'll admit I haven't heard everything by NB but, then again, all the stuff I have heard by them was bland corporate rock that didn't make me want to seek out any of their other songs.

:twisted:
