Maybe?  At the same time, they still "sold out" their gritty aesthetic for some dollars and various appearances on MTV's "Unplugged." 
I would, too, for the money coming their way.

THIS DAY IN HISTORY: 

International Day of the Disappeared Observed by UN for First Time (2011)
The International Day of the Disappeared on August 30 is an annual commemoration day to draw attention to the fate of individuals imprisoned at places unknown to their relatives and without legal process. The impulse for the day came from the Latin American Federation of Associations for Relatives of Detained-Disappeared, a non-governmental organization founded in 1981 in Costa Rica.
