Roger Daltrey has expressed h

Roger was always pretty ballsy. This does not surprise me.

 

[SG John]

He’s right. You need about 100,000 streams to make the same amount of money as the sale of one album.

 

[SG John]

Oh yeah....

Screw Spotify, Pandora, Amazon, and the entire lot.

 

[Clockworkmike]

He aint lying: the internet has killed both music and the film industry, as well as basically murdering in store shopping.

But he also recently trashed The Rolling Stones as a mediocre pub band this week, so he can piss off back to his magic bus or pinball machine or squeeze box at the same time lol

 

[SIx String Chef]

Nothing is sacred anymore... what a world, what a world...

You say you want a revolution
Well, you know
We all want to change the world
You tell me that it's evolution
Well, you know
We all want to change the world


I bet the stage coach and buggy whip guys were pissed at the railroads and automobiles too….

 

[WavMixer]

He's just jealous that today's music streaming audience do not know who he is.

You're most likely right for the most part which is another sad indicator of the state of things.

30 second attention spans.

 

[WavMixer]

I have asked a few teenagers if they knew who the Beatles are. None have so far. Sad.

And what's left of the Stones caved. No longer play Brown Sugar.

 

[Beagle]

Thirty years ago he was saying the same thing about record companies, time moves on, the parasites become more efficient, but the song remains the same.

He is right about stones……

they are so dated and irrelevant…..

Get back to me when a thrash band makes it nearly 60 years and sells out around $10m a show, with over 30 studio albums ( 18 which are platinum or multi platinum and the rest reached gold at least)

Yep the Stones are in a league of their own, on top in my books... and all i see of McCartney any more is a cocky jealous Englishman, and for the Who, Who are they anyway. They are simply jealous of the fact all these years they have been together as a band and still rockin out the tunes. There will be no band now, or in the future that will ever achieve the success they have.

 

[JohnnyGoo]

When all i hear on the radio is Megan Thee Stallion id welcome the Stones,Who, Beattles or any other 60s rock band to listen to.

Mr. Goo! Good to hear from you! How are the rains and floods hitting you there? I understand that you are close to the area in Canada that's having major floods.

They did when we saw them in 2019 or so, but changed the lyrics.
Apparently the poor old slaver does not whip the women just around midnight anymore.

Remember those K-tel compilation albums of the Oldies - swing and do-wop when many of us were young or kids?
Now "my music" is the Oldies.

Ya, for all the good things about the internet, the price to society - especially the younger generations which are the future - is high.

 

[chilipeppermaniac]

JT, I never understand more than about 10 words in any song, unless it is Rush. I had no idea Brown Sugar was un pc until about 3 weeks ago
