"DJs" like Skrillex that get by with the same fucking sample on every song and think it's music are killing it, too..
What if bigger bands started doing things like say "Hey, we have a new album of songs out now, but we're only playing it at concerts for a year before releasing it and maybe a single or two on the radio."? Would that make more money for the artists from more people attending their shows with a possible increase of price if demand is high enough because of it and no piracy for a bit?  |
A big, established band might be able to do that, but here is the problem. After their first live show their songs will be everywhere for free because someone will record them then put them up online and once the cat is out of the bag it is hard to put it back in.
Most bands are not big enough to pull something like this off. Most bands need to release the singles in order to sell the records and get people out to their shows.
