more artist need to learn how to tour/market themselves and then they'll see real money. Selling cd's isn't the only way for artists to make money. If they would work harder in every aspect and not expect radio play/cd sales to make them money then we would all be eating a little better. They would have serious budgets again and we producers/songwriters would be making more.
KISS isn't one of the most successful bands ever because of the amouont of cd's they sold (even though they have sold crap tons of records) Those fools sell anything they can to make money. There's only a few artists nowdays that make serious merch money and there would be WAY more if these crappy artists would HIT THE ROAD!!
but me, I'm paying my bills of of music. which is "living the dream" in my eyes. I'm blessed |
