I see no reason doing exactly what Keyser said he was doing. And if I had a band, or any musicall talent whatsoever, I'd probably do that.
It's fun to have morals, but when you have zero audience it's pretty tough. Play what's going to get people there. Once you have proven success, you get leway to play more of what you want.
If your driving force is just the love of music, you will continue to play more and more of what you want, and eventually develop some form of fanbase. It will take much longer than just playing the popular stuff, but everything that's worthwhile and difficult takes much longer than the easy road.
If your goal is just quick money, girls, and fame (to whatever extent you define that) you will continue to play what will be commercially popular
