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. -------------------- Check out my <a href="https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/instructor/Emir-Hot" target="_blank">Instructor profile</a>

No worries, man. I just see that the same arguments are being used now as over five years ago when I first became aware of this phenomenon of the digital music revolution and how to deal with it as it applies to the music industry. I don't see any progress even after all this time judging by the responses here. Preconceived notions and old habits of doing business are the culprit in my opinion and it is exactly that - my opinion. The switch in thinking has to be made and invalidating any information that comes one's way on the basis of irrelevant criteria only reduces your palette of choices from which to draw from. Agreeing to that. But what we must bear in mind is that there are a "stubborness" in the business, both with the business itself and the crowd. For instance, I begun working with the internet in the early 90's and mobile phones shortly after. It took until 2000 before internet actually was emerging and even that SMS was introduced in 97-98 people dont understood how to use it until 2003-2004..... The point here, however, is that if You are in the frontline of new technolgy/thinking, You have a lot of more choices and is much more likely to gain success. Also we must bear in mind that the way people consume music has already changed - eg. they are listening by their computers and mobile phones instead of buying CD's. So why should we try to market a CD??? It's stupid in my belief, and in my opinion a new media must be adopted as well as a new high-end format that can take advantage of the new digital technique. Btw. I worked as a touring musician for 15 years, made several recordings as a sideman with artists like Tonjua Hawkins, Ibriza Jusic, Jimmy Nielsen band as well as worked at Big Ben Music (record company) and was running a business as studio owner in the 80's. So what I'm saying is not solely based on my own crappy theories... -------------------- Guitars: Ibanez AM-200, Ibanez GB-10, Fender Stratocaster Classic Player, Warmouth Custom Built, Suhr Classic Strat, Gibson Les Paul Standard 2003, Ibanez steel-string Amps: Fender Hot Rod Deluxe, Marshall JMP 2103, AER 60 Effects: BOSS DD-20, Danelectro Trans.
