Devo 'Nissan' promotion live in San Francisco

[supahz]

Yeah, "selling out". It's much better to be under-appreciated, unpopular and underpaid for your whole career because some wannabe fanboys think you are "selling out" if you manage to become popular, or get a deal to do some sponsored gigs. Grow up.

[reichmarshall]

"Selling out" is part of the joke! The spudboys are playing a prank on Nissan, AND getting paid for it!

[puppetMattster]

it really does sound like "Misty mountain hop" doesn't it?

[lovelyistheworld]

There's no such thing as selling out anymore. Culture has passed that point. Plus. if your not a reactotard, you'd see that even back as early as 1984, Devo has done an extremely high profile Honda Scooter commercial, a classic you can watch right here on Youtube.

0:01 DAMN MUNI!!!

If you can accept that everything you do, or say, or think, is an INVESTMENT then you will be a lot happier chaps. Bands sell music or happiness or a feeling or whatever and music also is a product, as unpalatable as that may be. Da vinci only worked for money don't forget.

[pcsbyte]

When you all get older and have BILLS To Pay. You will understand why they "sold-out".

Would you consider a 20.00 ticket to a show "selling-out"?

[volvo4377]

Betrayal of the Will.

[volvo4377]

devo lied to us all, prepetuating this selfish hoax. this alone voids out all prior devo. no wonder why ALAN quit devo.

[The61769]

@volvo4377

you're an ass (unwiped)..

[blacksabbath62]

D-E-V-O = Excellent band, one of my all time favourites -GO spud boys!!!

[yossarian9]

Not to be an apologist here, but I think you have to separate DEVO the band from the individuals that constitute DEVO. DEVO is - and always was - about selling out, giving in, devolution. Mark, Gerald, Bob I, Bob II, Alan - these guys were actors, playing straight-faced musicians, concocting this huge hoax. A hoax was meant to target and lampoon the hyper-corporatization of America. Even the weirdest, most rebellious aspects our culture were comodified: hence DEVO. They recognize the irony.

[polyex]

I think I would have rather payed a reasonable ticket price. Can bands not make even a modest living anymore without these corporate sponsored tours?

[andreaprodan]

Oh... I forgot... this is the U.S.

where 'Money Talks and Bullshit Walks' (as Bobbi Fleckman once said...)

[andreaprodan]

What happened to the CORPORATE ANTHEM ?

Or is NISSAN no Cor-po-ration???

[RichVee]

Devo--thanks for kickin ass all these years--please keep it up! Richard

[svenonline5]

i doubt any of them will ever quit the music biz, just so long as they keep the energy domes on...

[mariobrosdelux]

thats very true energy domes make devo 25% of who they are

[maejunkmail]

Are you not men?

[aldoyoung]

can anyone tell me the ages of the band members, they must be getting on a bit!!!!

[statnerd52]

ya think?.....they started around 1972....

[timewaster2k]

Only DEVO could make selling out look so cool

[Godless0078]

lol im betting most of the people really don't get devo lol

[DEVOSpudess101]

Man! Why you Pinheads hating on them! They are great! I think it's cool...50 years old and they still do gigs and they still have the energy...god some 40 year olds can't do that

[DrByrthfood]

Jerry is actually 58-59!

[DEVOSpudess101]

I know right! It's crazy awesome!

[IndioFreak]

Intelligent music by & for intelligent people!

[manonmir2]

thats the sort of comment that makes you look like a pretentious ass. nice song though.

[Jayguy95]

Your the ass mano.

[grafico242]

how can music be old an fat??

[maxheadlessness]

devo is old and fat now. boo

[whoregay]

Deal with life - you're going to be old and fat too, but with an added bonus: YOU'LL ALSO DIE ALONE.

[polyex]

Yeah but at least he and she wont be sucking Nissan executives cock for a fast buck.

[Jayguy95]

Yup..and they are worth more than you too

[blacksabbath62]

maxheadlessness = No1 idiot

[typeone1]

[blacksabbath62]

typeone1 = No2 Idiot
