it's like if we are the black square,
we put everything on black and
we roll the dice.
We are heading to see our
manager Irving Azoff
How are you doing?
Good.
Okay, what do you want to do?
What I would like to happen is:
I would like to go to court,
I'd like to sit in front
of a jury of my peers.
I think in any lawsuit
that's a slam-dunk,
you still have a 20%
chance you get screwed.
Let me ask you a big picture question:
Signing a record deal with a traditional
record company or not.
What are the other options?
My view has always been that any deal that
doesn't involve a major
record label is better
than any deal any major
label will offer you,
because you have your ownership,
your masters.
that you have to keep in mind,
is that even if you signed
with one of these other alternatives,
It seems that we're between
a rock and a hard place.
Either signed some antiquated dinosaur deal.
But what's the new model of it?
The new model is worse, so the antiquated
dinosaur deal is a good deal.
Why there isn't a new model that's better?
People are listening to
music more than ever.
Cause they're all losing money.
They're not buying it.
They may be listening but
they're not buying it,
they're not paying for it.
It makes it even
less valuable.
If it were a traditional record company
we wouldn't be sitting here,
we would have settle that a long time ago.
We drew a bad card.
We drew a guy from outside the business
who doesn't play by industry rules,
who doesn't give a sh*t.
We can't get them to settle.
They said to me:
"I don't care how long it takes.
I don't care how angry
it makes the other label groups.
I would go to court to a decision."
The record business is in a very
very serious trouble.
If you look at historically
other businesses
that have gone away, I think there is
this kind of gradual decline...
Well gradual,
it has been pretty severe, but like this
and then it just reaches
a kind of tipping point
and just falls off the cliff.
The economics around
the record business
You know growing up you
had to buy the entire album
to get the song you loved,
you had to!
You had no choice!
And now, what happens is:
A kid is sitting at home and goes:
"I've got to hear that Kings and Queens song,
I got to hear that!"
They don't have to get in a car
or ask their parents
and save up 12 bucks to go buy.
you can buy the song you love
without buying the album,
you gonna do that,
not only that, when you can buy...
