Record companies put up the money and do everything from booking the hotels night after night to making sure the bands get the food they want. The organize the logistics of the tour, the flights, the buses, every single thing. If I have a great idea and someone comes in and finances the whole thing and takes all the risk, how much of a percentage can I honestly expect? That's business and music is a business.

The guy who puts up the money always gets the biggest cut. Since when is that not the norm?
