Talk about irony.

EVAN WHO?

YOUR BAND HAS NEVER BEEN GOOD, YOU’RE A SHITBAG! GOOD LUCK “KICKING THE SHIT” OUT OF ME WHEN YOU’RE A TOTAL TURD!

Dude, I hate to break it to you, but someone has to: your friends were not dropped due to piracy, they were dropped because their labels are greedy and stupid.
They’re labels try to fuck over the band and fuck over the customer at the same time; both tell them to piss off, but they are GIVING money to the band, GETTING money from the customer; who wins? You guessed it, the customer. The label stops paying the band and takes a small hit, but gets the opportunity to keep trying to enslave the MUCH larger money-maker, customers in general.
Honestly, if your friends were with good labels, they would get a much bigger cut of album sales, the fans would see a much lower album cost, there would be way more exposure and coolness-on-the-road, and everyboy – band, fans/customers[just realized how sick that is, w/e:)], and label – would all walk away with what they wanted at the end of the day.

But that’s not how it works. Labels are c***s. We all tell them to piss off. And they’d rather gouge us in general, than any specific band, because that’s where the money is.

No offense. I’m frustrated at the labels/record-companies/distributors, not you or your musician-friends.

Lol ! I actually downloaded maybe 5 or 6 songs from this band, I’d read their music was similar to my taste;
I have a fairly wide range of musical taste, and I look for lyrical excellence as well as musical excellence; this being reality, I’m frequently forced to compromise on this, and I’ve pretty much come to accept that.

I deleted all of their music because it sounded like crap. There was one song, Domination/Revolution that actually had pretty damn good lyrics, but … the music sounded like crap. It wasn’t even music. So, although it was a fight, I ended up deleting it; I figured, hey: ultimately I downloaded this SOUND because I’m looking for good music, and this isn’t good music; these are good LYRICS, but I can just copy/paste THAT poetic stuff!

LOL, this guy is a fuckwit.

So i’m supposed to steal software MS has created through lots of coding, time, and money rather than your shitty music?

You hate me and I hate you back
But there’s a difference between you and me
Ignorance and fear pervade your small mind
You forfeit your right to live in peace
I want you to know that I will never rest
For a signle moment of your miserable life
Surgically I cut you from my world
You are my cancer and I am the knife
I cut you off, forever and a day
Never again will I look your way
You beg for mercy on your knees
No remorse, you’re dead to me
You’re dead to me, you’re fucking dead to me
I gave you light to live in my world
But one last time you pushed too far
You selfish motherfucker, now the damage is done
You can never turn back from all out war
You can lock me down, but I hold the key
Cuz there’s nothing in this world that can ever break me
Heart and mind strong, I forever stay free
My last words to you, you’re dead to me
I watch you stumble
I hear you fall in the dark
Try as you may, you just can’t see you’re too blind
Trapped in the mirror of your dark soul
You fall again, this time from grace…
You land alone
Burning

If anything, If you REALY need to compare it to a record store.
Then Downloading is like going into the store, listen to the album. not buying the album and leave.

Most Musicstores have a record player or some other facilities to allow the potential customer to listen before buying.

Screw you asshole. Bet you don’t talk shit like that to anyone’s face.

Yup, ur getting that amount, the employees of microsoft are getting what? between 50 and 200k/yr?

What’s harming who?

Think about it in the grand scheme of things, i bet you ANYTHING that he’s stolen and done much worse things.

i think all that masturbation has fucked up his clear thinking.

READ SOME BIOHAZARD LYRICS AND TUNE IN.

So since his band sucked, and nobody with any real taste in metal bought their shit, this moron blames filesharers?? …gimmee a fuck’n break.

Its hard enough to give his shit away, I just through them in the trash, I wouldn’t even give them a posting on Demonoid or TPB.

Go make your little cunt porno flicks and blame someone else for your failures you fuck’n fag!

No you don’t.

No it’s not. In most cases, artists live off of what they make from the road. Maybe the most case for platinum selling talentless pretty face pop-stars is that they live off of record sales, but when you’re a platinum selling artists… it doesn’t really matter.

I, however, do know many touring bands signed to labels, and am in one myself. We all make way more money going out on tour, making money from guarantees or riders, and off of merch sales than we do from record sales. Maybe internet piracy is taking back from record sales, but the turn around on people who are showing up at the door, paying to get in, and buying a shirt at the end of the night because they heard about us, downloaded our record(s), loved the album and became instant fans is going has resulted in much more success than if it were otherwise regulated.

I can attest to this because I’ve become a fan of bands from downloading their records from torrent trackers, I’ll pay to go see them when they play in my area, buy merch, and typically even offer them a place to sleep and shower if they need it for the night.

You’re right artists see very little record sale money, but that’s not news, dipshit.

I can’t get behind people who still try to legitimize paying $15 for a CD that costs $1 to make in at least a 1,000 pc bulk, when the artists get $0.80 a CD.

You turned your back on hardcore punk long ago, and you’ve obviously let all the money you’ve made off of non-music related media blind you from the reality of the genre that helped build you through NYHC.

Hardcore is thriving more now than it has in a long time, you’re seeing so many revivals such as Earth Crisis, and old 90s hardcore reunions like Floorpunch; and even now Biohazard is coming back for a reunion tour. You’re a fucking disgrace. And should a Biohazard reunion show up to Missouri, I’ll show up (and I’ll get in for free, how do you like that?) and I’ll spout off in between any moment of silence during your set that I downloaded your entire catalog online for free. I’d love to see you jump down and try to kick my ass you fucking faggot.

Anyway, Biohazard sucks.

I’m a musician, and I have friends who have recently been dropped by major labels due to revenue loss from mp3 piracy. Trust me, in most cases the artist sees VERY LITTLE of the record sale money, but that’s what they live on, after the record label gets their cut.

I also note, most of you call this guy an idiot, a faggot, insult his band, his style of music, his wife.. all without addressing his statements or having a convincing rebuttal. You cunts. You emo-haircut having, anime watching, cunts. All of you. Happy?

He is SAD…

I had the band in my Bar (Soho London) on more than one occasion in the early 90′s (around the time they played Donnington Monsters of Rock).

A few of them decided it was OK to reach over & steal btls of booze from the bar on the way out “because they were ‘hardcore’..”
(At least that was Bobby’s excuse at the time…

So it’s OK for them to steal booze from a bar, full bottles of the stuff, which is criminal & hey, I wasn’t the Bill Gates (M$) of London Bars either… but we shouldn’t download their music…

It’s just more lame publicity for a band that has gone down the pipes & want to fleece the public with reunion tours, merchandise & CDs.

They are theives themselves, on a criminal level, even ripping off other peoples music too from what I recall…

It’s OK for them to steal others lyrics & sell em on their CDs, but we Evan feels he’s wronged by us downloading their stuff…

Think I will play a nice ripped copy of a track: Judgement Night…
About the only good track they did & then they had to collaborate with Onyx anyways…

Here’s your Judgment Night Evan… you twot.

Let me just say that when the major record companies were stacking up the greenbacks, long before the internet went ballistic, tons of metal bands were going bankrupt then too! Bands get dropped for not selling records. That has always been the case. But PLEASE!! Don’t blame everything wrong with the music business on BitTorrent use, because it just ain’t so, Bub.

Sure, BitTorrent use cuts into sales- that’s a fact. But a band that would have sold 1 million copies 20 years ago will still sell 700,000 or 800,000 today. Yes, that sucks, but sales are always sales, and shit bands are always shit bands.

All you major labels, if you run your companies like the Moguls of the past, Like David Geffen and Clive Davis, you would stand behind act that you loved and believed in for 2, 3, or more albums, until they took. But the current companies drop bands on their first album the very second they slip behind ‘expectations’. Look at Speedwagon! They were millions in debt to their label, but look what happened when they caught on! The old Moguls ‘invested’ in their acts, and as long as they had 15% to 20% total corporate annual growth, they were fine with that.

Today, the big 4 push all their cash into their big acts. Yes, that makes them more money for the same dollar than with the smaller acts. But that depletes development, and you get stuck, like now, with fewer acts accepted by buyers. That is economic reality through the history of the entertainment business.

So, Evan, stop your bitching and make better records. Yah, you’ll make a bit less, but that reality (the resetting of pricing models) is something you are just going to have to accept.
