Guest BigThompers Posted June 1, 2008 Share Posted June 1, 2008 What difference does it make? Avril (shite as she is) plays in a band. So does Kid Rock and he has one of the top 100 selling albums in America of all time. So he's officially an awesome band then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ketsbaia 0 Posted June 1, 2008 Share Posted June 1, 2008 Ive had a listen to this arcade fire band on youtube and i think their crap. Shiteous in fact. To be fair Laz, the only music you like plays in the background of porn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Face 29 Posted June 1, 2008 Share Posted June 1, 2008 Indeed. I once downloaded an album of theirs after the reviews they were getting, and promptly decided that I couldn't justify them taking up 100mb of a 320gb hard drive that was 75% free and deleted the tracks 1 by 1 in disgust. Fucking terrible. And you made that decision all on your own without waiting a year to see if album sales verified their quality or lack thereof?

Happy Face 29 Posted June 1, 2008 Share Posted June 1, 2008 I reckon most would know who Arcade Fire were. Probably not imo. But then, they're signed to an independent label with none of the financial/advertising clout that Coldplay's major label has. Arcade Fire are one of the highest selling independent acts going.

Ketsbaia 0 Posted June 1, 2008 Share Posted June 1, 2008 If we're making the rules up then fuck it. Arcade Fire are the biggest band in the world. How? Thye've played on stage with Bowie since 2000 therefore his 120 million record sales count towards AF's. Simple.

(record sales aren't, song writer 50% i think and then the rest) 99% of the time anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fish 9340 Posted June 1, 2008 Share Posted June 1, 2008 Because big business is all about supporting the creative artist and couldn't give a crap about making money hand over fist. That's why X-Factor and the like produce so many original talents, they don't just conveyor belt middle of the road pop-pap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, but that's all negated by the fact Coldplay are shit, Oasis are painfully average, the Manics haven't released anything good in years and Bono is a twat.

Ive got zero facts to back it up (sound familiar?) but with avril being the main draw i bet she get the most out of the band members. the other band member will get an equal split though im sure.

No. Spice Girls being a brilliant example. 5 average looking women who can't sing become the biggest thing on the planet on the back of savvy marketing.

Guest BigThompers Posted June 1, 2008 Share Posted June 1, 2008 Bands like Coldplay probably will get the even split from concerts. But Kid Rock is a solo artist who has a band to support him. Can't see them getting the same as him. I mean they don't even play in all of his songs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe Bonamassa played Newcastle academy full to capacity - He's a multi millionaire. I spoke to him afterwards and he pulled in about £100k and that went four ways equally. Fact.
