“Music is always changing and the changes are unpredictable,” said the great Billy Sheehan. That is true for music as an art form, for the marketplace that asks for it, as well as for the business that seeks to monetise any music product.
In our vlog series, we talk to artists from all genres and corners of the world, about the driving forces that constitute our contemporary music universe. We want to find how the breeding grounds of music have changed and what this means for the creatives all around the world today.
Join us, when we talk to heroes to make sense of the alleged zero - the music business.
Great to hear this. The first years I still like the most. But that is of course only my feeling. Also later songs like Celistical C & A or Runners High completly catch me!
Its bands like this that make me truly believe that megadeth only got as far as they did through the 80s is because of Metallica. Flotsam has some serious bangers that got drowned out through the thousand bands that came out at the time. Steve Conley is a bad ass guitar player too. I got a couple guitar lessons from him. Around the time he was in F4 with Dave Ellefson.
What happened to these videos? No uploads in years. The concept is actually original. It's super inciteful and we hear questions answered from a business and an art perspective which is absolutely unheard of in the music world.
F the internet. We need to go back to old school music trading and metal needs to go back underground where it should have always stayed. To hell with these arenas, clubs are where it's at.
Music is for u n me not the fucking industry get the book everything you need to know about the music industry,it tells you how to produce n publish your music n keep the industry out of your pocket n let's younown your music n do what you want with it instead of conforming he just said they didn't make money the label did they had to recoup what label gave them break the chain n cycle
Can see he's on heroin here. He's wanting to nod off and enjoy his high lol eyes always wanting to close, long, lazy blinks, pale, clammy face. Anyone who's used opiates will see this. Glad he's clean and looking healthy these days.
He was long clean at this point. He seems pretty alert. Doesn't even come across as particularly tired. Answers questions coherently and articulately and is fully engaged.
He has to interview session drummers, keyboardists, and backup vocalists too so fans can know more about the business (the music business). This was a great interview. The host was patient and real with the Drummer. That's nice... November 12, 2023. USA.
Tommy Victor was born in 1961/1962. In this video he should be 54/55 yeras old! He is looking great for that age! I do NOT like usually METAL music (I am into electronic), but PRONG is a great band, because it is a good mix of the different genres crossover: Groove; thrash; alternative and industrial metal! Once in the 90s I even was by the PRONG`s concert here in Germany.
There was something respectful and honourable about entering a shop and buying music. Even now we have such shops like HMV but it doesn't feel the same. Music that's obtainable from a device makes me half hearted, I generally walk in and then back out thinking I'll stream it in the car instead. Ignorance is such bliss...I'd pick an album, smell the cover, feel the texture, read the lyrics...see the shiny disc...smell the 'newness' of pressed vinyl. Now, I feel slightly guilty for keeping a load of plastic but even worse for a headache of musical clutter in my head from Spotify. .....Back then, buying music from a shop was the highlight of my day. Couldn't wait for lunch break to rush into a store. Exciting and euphoric. I don't think anything compares to that. To me honest, I always resort to pretty much old stuff and will pay a little extra for it. It sort of helps when you know your preferred artist or music genre. Top of The Pops was an incredible memory for me and my family. We'd be sitting with anticipation to find out who got the top spot.
Hamed is beautiful and very talented, but is he saying that there’s forces trying to “Orientalize” Arab culture and music within Arab nations? That may well be happening within Europe and N America, but I think that’s a stretch to say Arab culture is trying to make itself an “other.”

100% true - Bobby is THE most underrated and loving guy in the whole music scene. I had the honor to meet him twice - before and after a gig - in Brazil. He was always approachable, friendly, treated me like an equal. I never had the chance to tell him this, but he is the reason why I fell in love with Biohazard - when I saw him spinning with his Gibson back in '93 - still the most beautiful think I've ever seen onstage. I confess sometimes I cry watching him doing it. Fucking great guitarist, fucking great person. DFL
Always beautiful and keen. Yeah, you can bet L7 fans keep you dear in time. And "Shirley" was one of my favourites when HFS came out! Keep on! (Under stage, Milan '01)
I saw them in Atlanta..F!! Can't even remember what tour... probably Frolic because it certainly was way before Act 3.. which is one of my fav albums of all time. I'm here to tell you.. Osequeda is one of the sweetest, coolest metal dudes ever.. I'm getting back into them again and I'm so excited. Rob is a f'n genius.. they were.. one of the best, most under appreciated metal bands of that time for sure❤ I truly hope Andy and Gus and Dennis are thriving
Lees right about playing live. Too few clubs, too many players. When I played out in the 80s/90s, I played 50 weekends out of the year. 3 one hours a night, both Friday and Sat. 6 hours live for one weekend. 24 hours live per month. I had it good.
