There'd better be. Aerosmith deserves it. They, like ACDC and Metallica, have been selling out crowds for 30+ years.

This is one of those statements that is blatantly untrue, however it's hard to explain WHY it is untrue, because it's hard to find a concrete definition of "integrity"; it differs with opinion.

I'll try to explain the concept via example: Pink Floyd was one of the most creative and original bands of the 60's and 70's (in my opinion). Suppose they got signed to a label that wanted them to completely compromise their sound so that they sounded just like the Beatles before Sgt. Pepper, and they did it. That is called "selling out" (to me, anyway). If an artist has integrity, i.e. doesn't want to become nothing more than a commodity to be bought and sold, they won't compromise their sound for commercial gain.

In this case, AC/DC isn't compromising their sound, so that definition doesn't quite work. All they're doing is cashing in a couple extra bucks on a Monopoly game with their name on it. So they're not really "selling out" so much as admitting that they're a commodity, or a novelty band, so to speak.

Integrity absolutely exists; however the extent to which people abuse the term "selling out" blurs the meaning a lot.

People will buy an artists albums, show tickets, mugs, key fobs, tee shirts, bandanas, flags, mouse mats, fan club membership, caps, badges, trainers etc, etc, etc the list goes on and this is considered normal band activity. But do a monopoly game and whoah there, that's a step too far, they must be money grabbing bastards...
