Tässä myös joku kirjoitteli jemsite.comin foorumilla tämmöistä. More on topic, I know a guy who's a great drummer. About 10 years ago when he was 20 he found himself in what I would call a great local band. They had a good guitar player, singer, bass player etc., They played original material and became quite popular locally. Within a year they were signed up by a large international record company. They were given studio time in London, Berlin and Copenhagen. They played support on some high profile gigs in Europe, were driven or flown everywhere and could be completely forgiven for thinking they had arrived. About 6 months into this when they had just finished recording their 1st album with only the mixing left to be done they received a 5 minute call along the lines of "sorry guys, we're pulling the plug, we thought that rock was on the rise again, but trends over the last few months completely contradict that assumption, so this isn't going to be what we had hoped!". You would think that was the end of the story, 5 disappointed musicians who had their dreams torn apart and the record company parting ways. Unfortunately for them it was far from over. Within weeks the record company began the process of recouping their losses, the deal they signed covered the company. The studio time, engineers fees, cars, flights, instruments etc., were all advances. They were sued for about 2 million and had to declare bankruptcy. Almost overnight they went from the guys who were living the dream to the nightmare of extreme disappointment and debt. They were all between 19 and 22. It had quite an effect on each of them, the drummer whom I know, had put off university because his career was taking off, now he works at whatever he can find to make ends meet. He doesn't play and has too many financial committments at the moment to think about going back into education, so he's kind of trapped for the time being and quite understandably wants nothing to do with music or the music industry. | |
