Yep- precisely why I posted the link. I'm all about the musicians getting their fair share, absolutely- but the labels don't want to pay it. And should anyone complain about the cost of a record or merch- the labels are quick to shit on the band! The labels once monopolized the hell out of the indus...

Did you guys read the article, even? For example- how is it that the company can gross 11 million on an artist, and that artist is broke and still owes money to the label and other professionals? What's up with those "performance fees" on ringtones they are talking about? There's some scar...

Anyone familiar with this? Was perusing FB and stumbled upon this shot- damn, she is beautiful- from what I can see!

Is this in the new bio/s anywhere?

ANY Randy is good shit, period- IMHO- but both sides make sense to me. Anyone that is into Randy isn't "obsessed" by wanting to confirm tabs with live video, nor is it a crime to not like QR. I'm pretty sure we all like other artists where we like some stuff, but not everything in their ca...

You've read so much about the music industry and its upstanding business practices that you likely think there isn't anything else we could tell you that would come as a surprise. But some record label tactics are so covert that it takes a fair amount of digging just to find out they exist. Here ar...

Also, I wouldn't recommend others reading the rest of the aforementioned article, as it's damning evidence of some of rock and metal's most beloved artists and where they *could have* found some of the material for their most famous songs, ever. Too bad they didn't mention Diary of a Madman being s...

I know what you're saying, it does seem as tho the courts don't award as fairly as they once did when it comes to copyright infringement, etc. But not everyone that experiences theft or infringement of their property always goes to court. Roger Waters of Floyd didn't sue- using one of my favorite si...

I learnt from the footage in the boxset that in revelation mother earth randy starts the solo around the 12th fret and not at the 1st fret like the tribute tab book says.....sounds much better playing it "right" Yeah, that's a huge bonus for the video right there. I still think the absenc...

Hey all, I have a serious question, so please don't think i'm trolling or trying to stir up any trouble OK. My question is why is Kelly Garni some kind of celebrity? Is it because he was in QR for a short amount of time before getting fired? was it because he was a childhood friend of Randys? or is...

I'll never, ever forget discovering Meshuggah! I'd never even heard of them and they opened for Tool (2000-ish?)- I sat at the front of the stage completely transfixed- didn't want their set to end, either! Made a huge fan out of me right there and then!

£666/$890 is a chunk of change- don't think that I'll be buying that anytime soon, but good luck to those who want it- wonderful piece of memorabilia indeed!

Are there any photos in the book from the memorial where the doc started? if so Margolis and company could loose bigtime. It would show premeditation. Plenty of photos and video of the event, and I believe it was also covered by several metal sites unrelated to UR and TK. I sincerely doubt that the...

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, with audio and visually, and it's all subjective :>) There's ppl all over YT with 100 chinese/japanese knockoffs rockin their socks off, c*cks out (usually not literally, I hope!), whatever have you- all that business. So it's not necessarily that you start with...

I just PM'ed you, out of courtesy for other UR posters cos I've hogged this thread to hell already, and still have more to say about it
