Over 18 years in metal music I get more and more disapointed by some band members.
I'm not talking about the music,it's about personality.In the beginning every band
plea for attention and when they finally get that,they get more arogant and
egoistic.Well I gues it's all about the business.
Some bands won't even approve myspace comment if there is some complain so when you look to their profile it's like you're looking in girl's diary(woooow you're awesome,etc.)and most of them never answered if you wrote how much you appreciate their music,but if you wrote something which they don't like,they'll for sure contact you then.Or if you are half naked slut,they will contact you fast as possible and apologize.
Let's get one thing straight;I'm not mp3 generation,I still buy cd's and support bands which I like even if the show is 800km away so in return at least I deserve to be treated like a person,so we can talk and get some pictures.I was quite disapointed with some band members of Iron Maiden(heros from my childhood days).For some of them it's hard to take a picture with a fan,like his crown will fall from his head if he do that.
Bands must know one thing,they need US,we don't need them 'cause the fans are the blood of the band.Some said there is too much of us so they can't talk to each and every one of us etc.,but that's kind of a job also!Then they can get up in 6 AM every morning and go to work for 8 hours per day.They want both;live from the fans but not even talk to them.On dvd's and in press most of them pretends how much they love their fans but in reality it's something different.Of course,there are many great people out there,especially bands which are not superstars.
I'll continue to buy cd's and go to the shows 'cause I will always support what I truly like,but I don't wanna even talk or anything to band members anymore 'cause I do not want to crush my dreams.
I wrote nothing new but it's a sad thing how everything today is about the money.
Huge fan of metal MUSIC.
