Motorhead's Lemmy Suggests Music Biz Is Killing Itself
. He believes big business continues to suffer because it failed to take advantage of the internet era. But while the touring circuit is believed to be in a healthier state than the recording environment, Lemmy says he hasn't seen any major changes in the four decades he's worked there. He tells Metal Insider: "The industry these days is dying, isn't it? They have no idea what happened to them � they don't know what hit them. They couldn't work with the internet so they tried to prosecute it, which is really f**king dumb. It seems like they just keep f**king up. Every turn they make is the wrong turn, and they're going to be out of business in ten years." But while many acts believe the opportunities presented by the online world are beneficial to musicians, Lemmy's is less convinced, because it doesn't change anything for working bands. He says: "It's the same now and it's always been the same. There's always people robbing bands: agents rob you. Managers rob you � we've got a good one now but we've had lots of band ones. The promoters rob you. They'll tell you, 'It hasn't sold out,' and you can see that it has. But what are you going to say? They've got all their guys with them and there's only five of you." more on this story RockNewsDesk.com is an official news provider for the Day in Rock. |
