most of the band that i listen to nowadays are defunct, and have been so for large perioRAB of time,
so i don't have access to them to buy their cd's
my only option is to d/l them from somewhere.
Jesus christ, they're multi-millionaires now, but even when they were nobodies they made plenty of money and just blew it on drugs. But that's not the point. Here's LesPaul43 quote:
Although I download a lot, if there's an album I like I'll go out and buy it becuase I think having a CD collection is important and a lot more personal. Plus I like the artwork lulz.
HOLD IT!!!! DOWNLOADING????:banghead: WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU GUYS!! downloadng is lame crap!:banghead: heres my reason.:banghead: YOUR BAND WILL GET NO MONEY AND LOSE THERE RECORD DEAL! :banghead: BUY PEOPLE!!!FOR YOUR FAV BANRAB SAKE!!!!!
That is true, banRAB get about 20% of the money they make from touring. So each band meraber actually see's very little. The reason banRAB usually tour s to become more widely known.
My post that was quoted earlier was about banRAB on independent labels.. it doesn't really apply to RHCP. I HATE downloaRAB and people that don't buy CRAB.. but i have no sympathy for major labels... However if all this 'not wanting to support the majors' crap is just a coverup for 'im too cheap and lazy' then you really cant call yourself a music supporter.
The industry is turning to **** though, so it probably wont make much difference either way.
