nott sure i agree on the part about record companys dont want to develop theyr own bands nymore, take a look at spinefarm, centurymedia, nuclear blast, dragonheart records... i can go on and on naming lables that develop theyr own bands, i still remember the days when no one knew the name nightwish apart from me and my friends now nightwish is one of the biggest bands around. true metal lables want to develop theyr bands.
Oh your talking about independant labels, well hell ya! Indie labels are the way to go. Im talking about the majors like Interscope, Universals labels, Warner Bros. etc. Ya thats y indes are around i guess. Hell i got offered a contract from one in boston im gonna look into. Im talking about the major pop pushers these days.

i dont agree that he cant do it solo either, have you heard about old mans child? the 3 first cds they released the band consistet only of galder whos now employed by dimmu borgir as well...
No, no this is THE way to do it i think. Avoid the record companies all together. We all know how much record companies (The major ones that is) screw the artist anyway, with recoupable advances, and making the artist pay for his own videos, paying for the production of the album. I mean come on, does tom cruise have to pay for the production of his movies. They way they run business is just so fucked up, i mean we all know cds dont cost 16.95 to make. Hell, i bought 3 John Carpenter DVDs for $10 each.
Just pisses me off being an artist ya know. But ya Indie labels are different, they know how to treat an artist.
