New Avenged Sevenfold is KILLER!

[Carlota69]

[QUOTE=DaneMcCloud;9816996]I don't give a shit about your radio station director's job. If you're going to tell me that illegal downloading hasn't killed the record business along thousands of jobs while changing the economics of signing and developing bands, you're smoking crack.

And BTW, go **** yourself.[/

I haven't said that for one. Two, iTunes is the biggest reason records don't sell, because kids these days buy songs, not entire albums. And corporations, and the suits running them, have also contributed to killing jobs in the music industry. Just like corporate suits have in almost every other business in the universe.

And by the sounds of your anger, you seem a Bit pent up. Maybe you're the one who needs to go **** themselves.

Good God. Seriously? I mean, really. I don't think I've read something so clueless about the music business in this forum for a decade.

It's very clear that you don't understand the economics of the music business. That's fine, as you don't actually work for a major record label or Big Four music publisher. But to pretend as if you know exactly why sales have declined and to blame it on iTunes is ludicrous.

Dude, iTunes is part of it, but not all of it. But the fact that people don't buy whole records anymore is part of the reason records sales are down. Illegal downloads is another granted. And a few more factors. I've said that. I haven't said its all ITunes. You just like to get into fights on this forum don't you? You seem to do it a lot.

Dude, the guy that invented iTunes lives up the street from me. It's a rigged game. Seriously. But it has nothing to do with the overall health of the music business.

I've been a member of this forum for nearly 13 years. The core members were together at the Star, so I go back 16, 17 years with some of these people. But the bottom line is that I can't stand it when people make false statements.


Your whole gig here today was to pimp AS and when people didn't agree, you pulled the "Hey, I'm the Director" card, you know, to show you're a badass. Then when challenged on the nonsense you've spewed about the business, I chimed in.

And quite frankly, you're wrong. I didn't expect you to be right because it's not your job but you don't have to be an ass about it.

No, if someone doesn't like the song, they don't like the song. I pulled the card when I was questioned on how would I even know a good song, by you if I think.

I've been here since 1999 under a different account a resigned up in 2002. So I've been around the CP block. I don't know why that's so important, but you keep using it as something against me.

Actually, no. I know who you are. You and I actually have mutual friends although we've never met. I've told you this before but apparently, you've forgotten.

This site didn't open until August 2000.

Regardless, I'm not using your time here against you, although you've questioned why I'm here and stated that I should leave.

Pleasant.

Well then it was 2000. That kind of shit is not important to me, but it's a big deal to you obviously. I'm just saying you always threaten to,leave...wondering why you're still here.

No I don't know you or your friends, I don't remember us having a conversation and I don't recall ever talking to you except recently.
