The truth is most bands fail miserably at making money.  |
Absolutely 100% true. Most musicians are not businessmen, they're artists. I ALWAYS tell artists, even in this Adult Industry (directors, producers, writers, shooters, designers, etc) YOU make the porn, let ME sell it. Same with music; bands try to "sell it themselves" but they're half-stoned, HS dropout grunge kids who smoke pot and play bass. WTF do they know about "moving product"?
What is needed - in music, porn, anything - is a BALANCE between "art" and "commerce". Hard to achieve tho as greed and incompetency tend to ruin things. LOL
