This is what rob zombie just said about the record labels and i think he makes some good points.


“I think the record labels are dinosaurs waiting to die, and that they’re putting themselves out to pasture,” he said. “They all have a defeatist attitude. And that’s why in another couple of years, they won’t exist. The funny thing is, the record labels for years have done one thing that’s bullsh*t, and that’s blame the artists. ‘It’s the artist’s fault.’ But it’s not the artist’s fault. People love music. People have always loved music, people will always love music — people want more music now than they’ve ever wanted in their lives. Whether it’s through Guitar Hero or their iPhone, or anything — people are music-crazy. But the music industry is always blaming the artists: ‘Oh, it’s not the right single. Oh, it’s not the right album. Oh, it’s not this, it’s not that.’ You know what? They’re full of sh*t. They’re just overpaid and lazy, and it’s all crumbled around them. But the art is not going anywhere. You go out there, and there’s more tours than ever, the shows are bigger than ever, the crowds are crazier than ever, the fans are younger than ever; there’s no lack of demand for the music or the bands or anything. It’s just that the record labels are these overstuffed, overpaid dinosaurs. They’re gonna die. The music’s not going anywhere.“
