My friend and an awesome neoclassical shredder Borislav Mitic has recently signed for Lion Music which is the metal label from Finland that also released my album.

Just before he released his new record he posted a very seirous story about "The Murder of Music" on the Lion Music's website. Some of other Lion Music artists (including me) also gave their input on this subject.

CHECK IT OUT HERE!

I would be interested to see comments on Borislav's text from GMC community.

It is always cool to see your favorite band live but I hardly see my favorite ones. The ones that used to play in front of 100.000 people are now playing in front of 1000 or less people. The real examples are Deep Purple, Uriah Heep, Whitesnake and rock legends like that. These bands are all from the UK and only 5% of people in this country nowadays know some of their songs. Because of the new "modern music revolution" no one is buying their concert tickets nor the albums. They can only have 5000 of more thousands of people in countries where they never played. That was proved in Serbia, Bosinia and Croatia where they had 10.000 people in each country a couple of years ago. I am 100% sure if they come again next year they wouldn't have 1500. That's more than sad. 7 days ago I saw Gary Moore in front of 300 people.


Don't really see the point here.

Young people listen to hip hop, rap, rnb and those kind of styles. It's pretty normal that Gary Moore and Deep Purple can't fill the concert halls anymore. And I am a fan of Gary Moore. smile.gif

But U2, Radiohead and Pearl Jam still play in front of 100'000 people and do live concerts on YouTube...

The modern music revolution came because of the majors and other money makers who want more bands, more music, more concerts, more money... Internet is a tool which help to broadcast easily and share information. But the majors forgot that people were able to speak to each other easily and to broadcast as well.

Majors are trying to make the people pay to broadcast and share. But that's old fashioned. You cannot do that the same way you ask a supermarket to pay licence to broadcast music in front of the butcher shop.

People have to re-think the way they are earning money *with* the internet.
But you have to stop thinking of the good old days. They are over.

All the big old media companies are complaining today. Newspaper, book sellers, TV stations, guitar teachers ?, etc... The day they will all be bankrupted (except the guitar teachers obviously wink.gif) the market will perhaps be much more sane.

Exactly smile.gif So what are we doing here with 10 hours of practicing everyday? Shall we start making hip-hop music or there is a way to make a living of music that we spent years learning? I think that decision to be musician nowadays is the most risky move you can make. All these posts in this thread are actually showing what I was hoping to see and that's why I am not even trying to continue with music professionaly. I like my guitar and I am happy to play small clubs and teach but no way I can live of that. I wish I was a plumber smile.gif These guys are making serious money.

That's unfortunate, as I believe your songwriting skills (from hearing your album) is amazing.
But you'll record another album hopefully!? smile.gif
