JohnnyBlaze Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 You're a brave woman starting another thread. ;)Nah. Nothing controversial in there. Just seems like an amalgamation of various articles from the past. In short: Geddy's lucky to have even lived in Canada and he's an interesting dude that keeps busy with hobbies. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lifeson90 Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 that thing about our british lads burning Belson concentration camp down for typhus reasons was true mindyou, it was killing more people than the nazis did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Principled Man Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 His comments about the music industry today compared to the past are quite astute. Bands should be able to make money from selling their albums, regardless of the computerized clinic world we live in. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bands should be able to make money from selling their albums, regardless of the computerized clinic world we live in.Maybe so. But at the same time, I've heard plenty of friends/acquaintances in their 20s-40s the last decade or so that've said, "I'll just get it ((whatever music)) somewhere free off the net". Continuing along those lines, one friend went as far as to say, "I'm never buying any more music. Why would you when it's out there for free?" Half the people at the table agreed with him. That's significant when it's coming from people who like music & can afford to buy music BUT don't. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hear ya JB I had a discussion with a friend of mine awhile back about this, and some people just refuse to take responsibility, or they simply sit there are try to justify why they feel it is ok to steal .. When the subject of buying the new Rush album came up ( that would have been Clockwork Angels ) my friend said he'd download somewhere and that "Alex Lifeson doesn't need any of my money" When I took him up on it, he got defensive, but when asked point blank "Why do you feel it is ok to take something for nothing" he had no answer .. Now, when he complains about the fact that there is no good new music ( which is bullshit ), I just say "It's you own damn fault" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I agree but there are still bands out there playing original music in a live setting and making money. Not as many as there used to be though, unfortunately.

People who get their music for free either don't care or don't realize that bands like Rush make music for a living. This is how they earn their paychecks. They aren't just jamming in their garages on the weekends. Rock & roll fans are often oblivious to that fact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And for the relatively few bands that do make it big, we are paying 1000% more for concert tickets than we did back in the day.
