Scott what bands are you referring to as on the charts? Rappers? I agree that they're in it for the money. I'm talking about actual music though like rock and metal. Bands like Shinedown, Atreyu, Green Day, Nirvana, Foo Fighters. Bands I've read several biographies on each. Tons of videos and interviews I have on tape.
Billie Joe Armstrong (Singer and guitarist for green day) was singing since he was 4 and even got a record deal because people loved his voice. Now I certainly didn't know what money was when I was 4 except that you give it to people to buy goods and services. (Not even in that professional of a term) He was never rich, music was what he wanted to do with his life. Bands inspired him as he inspired me. Him and Mike Dirnt (Bass for green day) started their first band called "Sweet Children" when they were 12. They got a deal from lookout records when they were 15 and 6 years later met up with Tre Cool (Drummer) and were signed only a few months later and made their tour deforce album Dookie. 8 albums later they're still rolling...what's that say Scott?
I also begin to realize how you love talking about money. You think it's candy that rains out of the sky. Seemingly you have a lot of it. And those kinds of people are the ones who would only do it for more money because they can never be too rich. Music is just a toy game to them.
You misinterpreted something though. Bands do want to be on the charts and they want to be famous and sure why not some bucks, but every musician has the same reason no matter who they are or what kind of music they make/write.
