Dub-T-123 Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 I'd like to have a signature line of cats. Just shave the cats and tattoo my face/band name on them and sell them on the black market. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shnate McDuanus Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 Actually, on a more serious note, if I were big enough as a guitarist, I'd love an endorsement deal with a major guitar manufacturer and an amp company. I don't really see that as selling out, though, because it just makes it easier (assuming that your endorser supplies you with gear) to get the gear that you need in quantities that you feel you need. I wouldn't mind a Mesa/Boogie endorsement. Oh, and signature Dunlop guitar picks with pictures of my face on them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dbreslauer Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 You have to go to the Gene Simmons school of selling out: think BIG and unrelated to music... How about a signature island resort, complete with a signature airline to get there and back? :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MANNIC Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 I'd go for something radical. Maybe endorse something which I'm vaguely familiar with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This_Dying_Soul Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 If I was going to sell out, I'd go all Gene Simmons on your asses and plaster my band name and likeness on everything you could imagine... except toilet paper, I'm nobody's asswipe. lol come to think of it... hell, toilet paper too.

cookieman15061 Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 First I'd leave my wife, marry an oriental woman of no fixed talent, then write songs about imagining life with no possessions all the while living in multimillion dollar apartments with limos and chauffeurs.

The RandyMan Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 If I made it big, I wouldn't sell out--my family would probably sell me out! RandyMan voodoo dolls. RandyMan life insurance.

milod Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 I guess in ways I really don't understand the concept of "selling out." If it's changing one's music, why not? It gets boring to do the same thing all the time. If it's changing one's lifestyle, that's natural with age. If it's putting on a show as wild angels or demons, then taking off the wig, that's a recognition of the entertainment business and you're making a living at it. In ways I think we're all in that latter category to an extent. That's one reason, I think, that "country" artists may seldom be accused of "selling out" by fans because more often what you see on stage is what you get. But in rock I think it tends to be after a while as the pickers get more comfortable with themselves with age, there's a recognition that it's a matter of putting on a show. The "unplugged" thing may be one of the better things to happen in rock because it tends also to have more of the musician's inside coming out as opposed to the electronic outside. Even when I was playing rock, I always was aware that a lotta what's going on in a crowd is like a high school pep rally for the football team. Recognizing that ain't selling out. T shirts and wine and stuff? Hey, I don't see anything wrong with endorsing a product you like. Functionally already I endorse Gibson and Epi guitars and some on here already endorse other instruments, strings, etc., and even brands of whisky. Is that selling out? I don't think so. I dunno. Back in the olden days a lotta folks thought Bobby Zimmerman "sold out" when he took electric guitars on stage, but it's as if they didn't recognized he'd started more or less as a rock guy. A lotta current country pickers did rock as teens. As for a Gibbie "Milod sig" guitar... maybe a 335 or 175 with an added master volume would be just fine, thanks. m Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
