Alice In Chains Talk about State of Music Business
Crushtor.net recently conducted an interview with Alice In Chains drummer Sean Kinney. Here is a small excerpt:
Kinney: "It's a world where people steal music and record companies can't sell music. They sort of screwed up. It's such a different time and place; there are so many real unknowns now. It's going to be really cool. . . The great thing is that you can get your music out to a lot of people. But on the flipside, people want it for free. Studio time isn't free; we put a lot of money and effort into what we do. They expect us to be talking to them twenty-four hours a day on blogs and things. It takes the mystery away, I think. We're not from that 'era.' That was never really our 'thing.' It'll be interesting to see how we fit in, if we fit in."
Interesting, how does the new AIC fit into the new format of the musical landscape? I would guess their fans are old enough to still want to purchase cds or albums. But I also might suggest to them to reissue all their old albums on vinyl. It seems to be the thing to do. Nirvana did it.
