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.

1. multi - album deals are standard practise
2. the band your talking about did multiple albums with that record company
3. if it was single album deal they should have been able to get a similar bidding war up for the second and third album
second you declared

Jimmy Iovine caught some crap for giving them that much and he defended himself saying that a band like this would record an album and spend at least a year touring to support it and it wasn't fair that they do that for some tiny amount like $20,000.

that constitutes a condition.
btw your still spread the lie again
you keep trying to argue that just because they put money into a band it HAS to be before their a success.
you have never produced one single shred of proof that a label invested massive amount of money BEFORE the artist was ever know
you keep talking about total investment, with zero break down of WHEN it was spent.
