Re: Stone Temple Pilots Ready To Go Indie
I think that being sued is not the way to go if a record label is trying to get a band to produce an album. Speaking of albums....Scott Weiland of STP is coming out with a new album Nov. 25 2008 titled "Happy In Galoshes."
So what if a band has expectations. What the band did was show that they know the direction they want to take with their record. I don't think they are in a position to be threatened since bands also needs as much time as possible to create a worthwhile album. Get along, PLEASE! It is hard enough as it is these days for bands and labels to get along when it comes to dowloading music off the web. Some bands don't approve and straight out tell their fans that and some allow users to do so since they feel they don't have control over what has been a shift in music consumption.
These days with the advancement of technology, internet users have been able to listen to music for free whether it is downloaded or provided by a music social networking site. So what am I trying to say. Well, there is a space, a division between music record labels and bands for many reasons such as the internet.
So, my point is that on top of all the problems bands deal with in order to survive are increased by situations like this where bands get sued. In the end, it sucks from both ends of the spectrum.
