I don't understand why they don't do pay-per-view. If athletes can, why can't musicians?A lot of them are for sure broke. You can own your music and make NOTHING off of it because unless people are sampling or using it in tv shows/films/commercials you are not making huge amounts of money. This is why a lot of them are so pressed to start touring again because that's where most of their money comes from. But they are still not going to be pulling in the same money as they used to because of enforced low capacity and people still wanting to take safety precautions.
Dee Snider (Twisted Sister) made a twitter post about it recently:
It reminded me of that recent thread of Method Man talking about how are all of these new artists making money when they're getting paid way less than before.
Woah!!! He did? He has a HUGE catalog ans has written for a lot of artists... when was this? Do you know who he sold it to?Ryan Tedder sold his catalog for $200 million.
She’s not even signed to a label.Tinashe might have a little cushion because she doesn’t seem to live that lifestyle, I’m not saying she’s rich but she probably isn’t indebted to her label either.
Just google ryan tedder sells music catalogWoah!!! He did? He has a HUGE catalog ans has written for a lot of artists... when was this? Do you know who he sold it to?
Are we surprised? The bigger problem is how sites like LSA and social media defend these artist perceptions and ‘stanning’ but then turns around and wonders why so many people base their self worth around such imagery.
