Thats perfectly fine by me

Backstage Metal can be whatever we want it to be. Not like I own it exclusively, I bought it for the collective not just me

Hell you guys can release your own albums under that "label" if ya want

^ Maybe you should try to turn it into an actual label

Not a crazy idea I would say

I have contemplated it. My only issue is cash flow!

I could definitely do it as a distribution company for bands, and set up a store with digital downloads and all that Jazz. It wouldnt be difficult at all. Keep the CD prices way down and do the same as like iTunes or CDBaby and get a cut of the profit.

I could keep it a real small margin like if the download of the album goes for $10 we get like $1 of it. This would cover hosting fees and things like that.

We could even start a small nest of producers / mixers we could use to record bands and get the albums up to snuff. maybe give whoever worked on it $1 or $2 per sale to cover their time and effort.

It wouldn't make a career out of it for anyone but it could prove to be something to generate qualoty recordings and small amounts of publicity / distributions for bands, and some extra spending cash for producers / mixers.

FYI if you guys want to discuss this lets do it on the BSM forum and not take away from this thread.

Jumping into the BSM forum now, just wanted to say it sounds like a great idea

How are you guys doing drums?

 

[DanLights]

Now, guys, please post here which members are missing in action/terribly slow on your songs? so we can get some subs to finish those in no time, I know we have a few dudes who could be up for doing guitars and vocals if needed

 

[DanLights]

How are you guys doing drums?

the teams who were lucky enough to have Timo do real drums for their songs are pretty much that... lucky.

All other songs are going programmed, Anssi did a pretty good job on Holy Diver, and Max Morton (bromoleos van drill) also has some decent drum sounds for stargazer and a couple more song, and he's also still working on them

What drums are they using?

 

[Skinny Viking]

Antto did our drums

Max I'm pretty sure it's SSD, and some of his own samples blended in, but not positive, try asking them

Finnish names are very funny!

My buddy Teemu (I think thats how you spell it) .. I just couldn't get the right pronunciation of it down so I just started calling him "Fred"

Even the other Finns liked it and called him Fred for the rest of the tour

Finnish Fred ... was so much easier

hahahaha I don't think it's too hard to pronounce, I seem to have a problem with remembering and differentiating them, like when talking to Anssi he told me about a dude named Kari or something and I was like "yeah like the dude who used to play bass in Strato" and he was like "you mean Jari", and then about meeting the dudes from Swallow the Sun, I just couldn't remember the names of ANY of them and it was kinda odd cause I didn't want to start a conversation I couldn't say his freaking name hahaha

 

[Skinny Viking]

Just start calling all of them Fred

it works ... they like it
