It's not gay since it's a woman doing it, but you're not exactly John Wayne either.
John Wayne was a fag

People may not like the whole genre involved. All that matters though is that this is really good music. Cornell made some great music here. Great album. DAre I say pisses all over CD ...maybe not

Musicians refuse to 'get it'.
100% of the people that listen to their 'art' for free... would not go purchase their music one way or the other. If you're a fan, you're still gonna buy the record.
If they're in it for the money, I understand. We all gotta make money. But understand, the landscape has changed. The public has now deemed that music is NO LONGER a monetarily-valuable good. It's either cheap or free.
The artists I love, I still buy the record. I drove across two counties to get Chinese Democracy. But internet has also been beneficial in revealing weaknesses in the purchases. I can honestly say, after seeing Bach live in 2006, I was pumped for Angel Down's release... then I heard it on the internet. I listened to a few tracks, streaming, and turned it off. The shittiness of the music being revealed to me ahead of time, cost them a sale.
Internet downloads have also been beneficial to artists in a way too. Just out of pure example - Buckethead. Here's a fabulous artist, that you're not able to just walk into any store and buy their record, or sample through listening machines. Free downloads, along with internet sales, have led to massive cult following. This is something Trent Reznor understands with NIN, and why I continue to think he's a visionary when it comes to marketing.
You either stay ahead of the curve, and learn to adapt, or you sit back and kick the back of the car seat, screaming like a child. Bach, like other artists, can either adapt, or be left on the porch. If it's not financially viable enough for him enough to do it anymore, than I guess it wasn't art after all - it was a paycheck.
I'm not saying he's wrong. But fighting the YouTube war, and bitching is a total waste of your time, seriously - as a friend i'm saying that, not as an asshole Baz.
I consider myself a huge shinedown fan. I haven't purchased one release ticket piece of merch from them....

Bach is an idiot. What he doesn't seem to realize is that without these youtube videos featuring his music nobody will even hear his music. He's so irrelevant he should actually be thanking the guy who's using his material. Bach is getting free promo and there's a chance someone who hears it will like it and then go buy his albums. If they don't like it oh well. But either way NOBODY is buying Bach's albums. The guy probably has a better chance of selling albums by having people upload his music onto youtube.
WRONG. There are plenty of avenues by which you can hear his music Legally

#1080 Re: Guns N' Roses » Top 20 Hair Metal Albums of the Eighties » 868 weeks ago
GNR, The Cult, and even Van Halen are not hair metal. People are so fucking retarded.
I'd like to add Def lep to that. They might have had a lot of hair but that was the style at the time. Excluding some mutt lange written tunes which leaned this way they were not hair metal
