If I'm not, or I'm just remotely interested, then I'll download it.

Proper music fans, if a band is good, they'll want to go and see them because they have a passion for live music.

Only the 14 year old girls download Sex On Fire and Fallout Boy and are content with that.

Most music fans, if they buy or download, if they like what they hear, they'll be interested in going to see the artist and if the price is right, they will.

Arguing implies hate and animosoty.

I'm a lover.

But yeah, what exactly is your point?

To me your point is people won't go to gigs if they can download for free

On the contrary

I think they would buy every piece of merchandise & clothing of that band they could get their hands on.

*Types in Ebay - Pete Wentz lock of hair*

$1,000

BID BID BID!!!

But yeah, I actually disagree, I'm only a young lad, and know a fair few 14/15 year olds from school and people around that area - God I sound like a closet paedophile.

But yeah, they're quite content with having **** loads of singles on their iPod and aren't actually into the music enough to be ****ed even downloading a whole album.

Cunts of the highest order IMO.

I concur, for the most part.

Well if they're not that bothered about the music then they're not going to buy the album anyway. Doing that is no different to me taping of the radio or borrowing a friends copy when I was that age, I only had small amount of money to spend. If i'm not that bothered about an album i'm not going to waste my money on it am I?
So basically the band have lost no money

Even older people, people around my age, they're content with using Limewire. Not even Rapidshare/Megaupload or Torrents ffs.

If you're gonna download, do it right. It's them people who have the music, call themselves a fan, but don't put any money into it. You're not a fan if you don't buy gig tickets or albums.

And people I know have said to me, why do you buy your music? with such confusion in their voices, they don't understand the appeal of having a collection, the art work, the giving something back to the artist that has given you. It's annoying.

The music industry have had it coming for years, I have no sympathy for them whatsoever.

And artists should never go into music thinking they'll make anything other than a loss. They know what the score is, there's no point getting into it & then moaning about it.

TheCunningStunt · 06-19-2009, 10:52 AM

The only way to get round it, is use it to your advantage, use the net as a way of getting your name out there, and hope that people like you enough to buy tickets and come and see you.

Developing an underground die hard cult FTW

Not in the literal sense.. I'm not into that.
