I agree you with stylin. "Selling music for mass consumption" is a very new thing. i mean, back in the victorian days the only way you could listen to beethoven was by going to his concerts. Now you can hear anything and everything. And to honest, half the stuff on the radio will be forgotten within the year. I barely ever pay for a cd unless I really feel like the artist gave his all into making the album. And I always believe in seeing a band live as apposed to watching the dvd or youtube videos. That's where the real experience is, that's where it all started. Live concerts. If you can sell out a venue at 25$ a ticket at 30 different 500-1000 venues a year then 5 people in your band are making 20,000 a year... That's fairly reasonable since most bands are in it for the fun or in it for the experience and you can do 30 shows in 2-3 months. To be honest, I'd never pay 80$ to see some big event concert unless it was important for the band. If its just another profit margin then its just another sales event for them, especially if it's some terrible pop band.
