You need so much works, and yes there is artists that didnt do crap do get popular, but most of them worked their f**king ass off.

Nowhere did Lump say that major label bands were lazy. If he did, I'd have to call Lump out for being semi-wrong. (I'm still pretty sure that pouring concrete is harder work than driving in a bus all day and playing guitar for an hour or two).

Its a lot of work and you should stop saying your pointless and stupid bullshit against great artists with talent cos you appear as the jackass in this monologue of jealousy.

Let's take this a different route. Let's think of movie stars.
Bruce Willis isn't REALLY a burned out cop who has a wife that hates him and is constantly getting suspended by his asshole captain. Bruce Willis doesn't really jump off of 747s holding a machine gun with bunches of explosions in the background. Bruce Willis collects art and wears funny hats. He seams like a pretty likeable guy when he says "Yippie Ky Yay Motherfucker". No, he was in drama club in school. We all know those guys. They are weird.
Listen to Al Pacino speak of of his "operatic" performance in Scarface. He IS an AMAZING actor because the dude is a wacked out dickbag in real life. Of course, if I had $100 million for doing something "fun" I'd probably have a skewed perspective too.
My point? Those rock stars you look up to, you probably wouldn't even like them. It's pretty much a given. Anyone driven enough to be successful is probably a douchebag. It kind of goes back to the Team America (dicks vs pussies vs assholes) theory but in a different way.

A new perspective. I'm very good buddies with a band who met like 90% of the criteria on Lumps post. They got some professional photography done and put up some giant flyers with these pictures. The flyers looked like movie posters.
Of course, the funny thing is, I walked into the room and said "You guys are a bunch of fags!!". Their reply? "We know!". The felt stupid for using the huge posters. It turned out that it was a mistake by the printer.
I've heard of multiple situations where Sheryl Crow used and screwd over different guys to screw her way to the top. It's one way of getting the job done. It worked for her, but she's definitely a douchebag.
shylessness4924, I realize you mean well. There will be a day when you don't take yourself so seriously. Even if you think nice or smart guys can be successful in music, who cares? Let Lump has his opinion. (Of course, you've got to know Lump well enough to know when he is being sarcastic and when he isn't).
You insulted lump for saying that Elvis was a douchebag. Are you really arguing with him? Have you ever seen an Elvis movie?
Are you willing to play a Maroon 5 cover? It takes a certain kind of douchebag to do that.
