All these bands are doing it - attaching their names to some local distilleries. See: Motorhead

yeah or beer. there aint nothing wrong with a bit of merchandising as long as it suits the band i think. beer, t-shirts or booze, it's all good. i wouldn't buy that poo poo though. ps magrudergrind is kicking my rear end right now: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TquwNTcYvKc Dyna Soar fucked around with this message at 16:16 on Apr 17, 2018 |

it's the only way for a band to make money anymore. blame digitalization and your cheap rear end for not buying records altho i suspect artisan gin isn't really a money making machine for anyone. Dyna Soar fucked around with this message at 16:53 on Apr 17, 2018 |

if you pay a minimum but fair price for recording, mixing, mastering, artwork, pressing and shipping of a vinyl, 500 records will barely break even. if you do everything yourself or on a shoestring budget, 300 will barely break even. in flames used to sell hundreds of thousands of records. they're probably lucky to sell 1/10 of that now.

besides if you break down what albums are actually selling large amounts, it's re-releases of poo poo like the beatles. not new bands and certainly not indie bands. this vinyl boom is actually a problem for smaller, vinyl only record companies because the big labels are paying to get their poo poo pressed first so indie labels have to wait for 6-12 months between sending a master to getting the records. also 14% of physical sales is likely closer to 1% than 14% of the whole market Dyna Soar fucked around with this message at 17:03 on Apr 17, 2018 |

Maybe In Flames' biggest problem is that they make garbage music that appeals to neither the mainstream nor underground metal fans anymore

drat, one of the most successful bands in history brought in 8 million in revenue selling vinyl in 2017? Obscure metal bands might actually be able to afford a 24 pack of ramen off their royalties!

I would wager that the audiophiles who invest their money in a vinyl rig also don't mind paying a premium for the vinyl.

OpaqueEcho posted:The fact that digital streaming has surpassed physical music purchases is not mutually exclusive to vinyl's current resurgence. well it's relevant since my original claim was that vinyl sales are around 1% of the market, which is more or less true according to those statistics. it's a drop in the ocean and not even worth discussing if we're talking about how money is made with music in the year 2018.

live music ticket sales are at an all-time high purchases of music itself are at an all-time low, having dropped something like 70% in the last decade. vinyl increasing by a tiny smidgeon is not going to even remotely put a dent in that im really not sure where the argument is here, none of this is particularly controversial
