would you sell your soul to become a rock star?

In Addition, I'd like a 100% tolerance to all drugs, and a Bentley with diplomatic immunity.

I would like a 0%.   It would be a lot cheaper  :lol:

why does anyone have to sell thier soul to become a rock star?

Other options might be worse.

Gwem! You've played Blip Festival alongside Sabrepulse, Nullsleep, Virt, Bitshifter etc. You ARE a rockstar as far as I'm concerned.

sh!t indy, i can't believe anyone here knows about the 8bit scene... well, i'm still far from being a rock star - just ask feline or phil about my playing "skillz" :lol: also, too few gigs. my rock star idol is KK Downing from Judas Priest, I'll never get that far with 8bit music.

great to hear about everyones rock star for soul deal conditions. i think its safe to assume you could ask to be a rock star in your own terms, but obviously you would be evil, spend alot of time in hell, be the servant of satan etc etc - if those things are even possible. perhaps selling your soul these days just involves working for the man or trading your music principals for MTV.

In the literal biblical sense meaning satan prodding you in the ass with a flaming spiked baseball bat for all eternity then no. But in the metaphorical sense of violating your morals/principles then yeah I think I probably would (if I hadn't sold it for something else). I don't think the world we live in allows you not to.

I also don't think you can be any kind of artist (regardless of success), without at least grappling with the idea of selling your soul.

I disagree, as I am not sure music and the soul is even connected. I'd prefere someone to be un-sinciere, seeing as most artists take themselves so seriously these days it makes them look annoying, for example Mcfly or Busted. I prefer Slipnot or Zappa anyday. lol Besides what evidence is there that satan even exists?

McFly and Busted are.

And Satan evidently runs a record company; listen to the stuff that gets pushed onto you and compare it to the stuff you barely hear about.

Just to add a vaguely academic note, the old "fire and brimstone" vision of hell isn't Biblical - it came much later, mostly as a result of popular media of the time and the Catholic church, including what became known as the Spanish Inquisition.

Que Monty Python quotes!!!
