Due I detect some bitterness? Success in the music biz is not simply about musical ability or image. Just like a band is a team, the team is now song writers, producers, engineers, video directors, etc. etc.
When the team makes a hit, we all win.
The market dictates what it wants to buy. This despite the wants of A&R/Producers like myself. We try to predict trends and hope that it's something we like. I like good old school rock. So that's the direction I steered this project in.
I agree that MTV is littered with image driven artists. But you gotta love it when a 4/4 band with 3 chords breaks and stays. i.e. The Ramones.
What exactly is an image? What you want to see? What is your image of the bands you listen to?
