No. I said that record companies dump money into artists. That doesn't just mean that they give them big advances it also means they spend money on marketing them and building them up before they are ever a success. You are the one that is stuck on the advance part of it.
Also, just because there is no documented proof of something does not make you talking bullshit true. You said of Helmet:
That the agreed total payment promoting the album, that agreement had conditions
the only way it was paid out is if those conditions were met.
Again total misrepresentation of the deal.
btw that deal had options on the second and third album
so that wasn't even the deal for a single album.
You have no idea if that is true or not. You made that up! Now you are actually trying to say that since there isn't documented proof to prove you wrong that this is a true statement?
Dude you need to get back on your meds.
Also, I have presented documented proof that record labels do spend money on unknown artists. As I have stated several times read the books "Hit Men" and "So You Want To Be a Rock N Roll Star" and you will see for yourself exactly how much money is spent trying to break unknown artists.
