Well, that went so far over your head, it's kind of funny.

His comment implied that already successful bands are going to suffer. By that implication it means that they are losing relatively more than lesser known acts who should be touring anyway.

The original concept for my statement was that grotto mentioned in the old days, musicians were compensated for their performance, I can't see why that shouldn't be the standard today.
If these "old rock dinosaurs" didn't save any of that hard earned cash for a rainy day, they better be ready to hump it again out on the road with the new industry model......

Either way, I think lesser known bands could suffer more on the label side of things, but they'll still be able to make money touring and via iTunes, etc..., which they should be doing anyway.

"all artists are drug addicts and drive expensive cars" LMAO
Hooray for the internets!! The golden land where sarcasm isn't lost on anyone!!
