================================================ Subject: Music is for the people.... From: "Dave Pioli" To: Date: Thu 7 Mar 2002 22:58:33 EST ================================================ Rock and roll was based souly on giving the PEOPLE want they want.. The record label indrusty is the last form of slaverly that exist. Unless you sell muti platnum cd over and ocer, Artist, and the fans are at the mercy of the Label company. They are only concern in life is too make money of the work of there artist, and give very little back. See this how it works..a Label company will sell a CD for 15 dollars.The cost for them to make a CD is only 5 dollars..out of the 5 dollars that goes to the engineers and producers.. The artist get royalties after a certain amount of records have been sold.. and the my only get like 5% of the sales..The artist willl get an advance on the amount of Cd they are contracted to make. Out of that advance you split it up amoung the band,managment, etc... the artist only makes they re true money of the tour that they go on...that money is directly to them I cant stand greedy rock stars who make they money of the blood and sweat of there fans.. I say give alittle back to those who made you rich..All those who call downloading stealing are hypocrates..Lars was talking in a interview one time that he used to tape songs of the radio when he was a kid....hhmmm isnit that stealing??..lol I am not going to pay 20 buck on a Cd that only has 2 good songs out of 16 tracks..
