Sad but true
“There’s not gonna be another Beatles, Hendrix, or KISS because there’s no longer a record industry. There’s only chaos.”
“ The next 15 year old kid who plugs into his Marshall amplifier won’t be able to make a living because record companies don’t pay advances, royalties or promotion anymore.”
“ It’s the freckle face kid who feels he or she is entitled to steal music without paying for it. Because in their logic you don’t need money because you’re rich being a musician. That’s the problem with downloading and the internet. Now everything is for free.”
“From 1958 - 1988 you can name at least 100 bands or artists that became iconic. Everyone from The Beatles, to Elvis Presley, to The Rolling Stones, and many more.”
“From 1988 until today you won’t be able to name one iconic band. And don’t tell me Nirvana. They had two albums and were done.”
“The nail has been put into the coffin of Rock And Roll.”
