Crowquill, I understand what you're saying, and that's fine if thats what you choose to do with your music. No problem there. You just dont understand what WE'RE saying. So maybe you just love knowing that people are actually paying attention to your music, that's fine. And maybe you don't care if you make any money off of it as long as people are listening, that's fine too. But you have to understand that not all bands are like you. Bands that are already getting exposure depend on sales, period. If you're going to college, then a career in music is most likely not what you're pursuing. But there are bands that want to do what they love to make a living. Not just to work at some ****ty job and play at local clubs whenever they have the spare time. If you truly love music, then you should be able to understand why some bands only want to play it. And if they can make a living just from their music, then why not? That's their ultimate goal. Plus, if they do have a career in music. They have more time to focus on the music that they produce. Thus, making it that much better. But they need the money to support all the time they're spending trying to make the best product possible. Look at it this way, do you think Wal Mart would still be around and be such a big franchise if they just invested money into everything in the store and just gave it away for free without making any profit? of course not. You have to spend money to make money. So if bands invest alot of time and money into making music, and they get nothing back....then just like any other business, IT WILL DIE.
