In almost all cases, there is nothing more satisfying for a die-hard music fan than to have been a fan since the beginning. This allows one to talk about how their favorite band sold out and went commercial.Anyone who didn't go to the shows in the early days isn't a real fan. They don't deserve to listen to the new albums without understanding where the band came from. In most cases.
This article from Cracked.com entitled "Six Musicians with Pasts They Hope You'll Forget" sheds light on the opposite side of the glory. It's quite comical to see the evolution of some of music's biggest names. Apparently selling out to the capitalist machine sometimes has benefits greater than fame and fortune.
