that is why it is pointless arguing with him. you need to at least share the same language to debate and discuss.

Correct. I have debated with him on this before. It all depends on what your idea of success is. If success to you is recording and releasing a record and making enough money so that you don't starve to death while you go on a 2 month tour in your old van, you can easily do that on your own.
If success to you is making enough money to live on while doing music you might be able to do that on your own. Not many people pull that off, but there are some that do.
If success to you is selling out 10,000 seat arenas and having platinum records you are going to need some serious help that will almost always need to come in the form of a major record label.
Of course I am talking strictly about a new, unknown person, starting out. If you were previously famous you can strike out on your own and still have a lot of success.
