Give me some good trucker songs!

P2P why buy what you can share.

Yeah, I say the same thing when I go carjacking and purse snatching.

I don't know what you're into, but I've been involved in the heavy metal underground for some time, having been involved in multiple bands, and also having co-founded a small label. When you're busting your ass to provide for yourself, and spending what little time of your own to have to make music, knowing you'll never get rich doing it, and having to shell out your own money for studio time, getting demos recorded, promotion, and the like, then you understand the real negative impact this has. Underground music scenes have relied on integrity to stay afloat - dedicated bands who buy music, who buy merchandise, who support their bands. We don't get multimillion dollar contracts up front, and we don't get catered around in limousines. But, it's been worthwhile to play in a little venue, where they may only be say, 40 people, but they've been willing to drive from three or four states away to be there, and they support the bands they love, through and through. So, no, I'm not going to nod my head in agreement here, and I'm not even going to bother to listen to the piss weak excuses which are prevented to justify ripping off bands who've worked hard to get their album produced. And that's simply what it is, like it or don't.

I don't think you need to worry-- you haven't made it yet-- you're still trucking... clearly you don't keep up too much on the opinions of big time Artists-- many of whom-- made it BIG by putting their material --OUT THERE FOR FREE-- it's call "exposure"--- but then again you still have to be
"good" or no-body is going to share- a no-name band with a crappy song & no talent.
Also, when/if you do make it big-- most of the Rich artists agree---- the record labels are going to rip you off a million times as much money as the file sharing public--- they do it-- by lying about how many copies of your material they actually SOLD- production cost-- everything.

Live performance(ticket sales), merchandise, endorcements--- those are where the real money is at( and where you can keep a closer eye on the actual REVENUE.

But non of this ever happens-- unless you get NOTICED-- that requires EXPOSURE---- people saying--- hey, have you heard THIS!

Keep playing your small clubs-- doing your "Battle of the Bands" -- spending hours recording/burning your own "homemade" CD's to hand out- spend your pennies and dimes on Flyer's -- and time Stapling them to
every telephone pole in town... and eventually You'll make enough door money to afford 8 hours in a real Studio and can cut a real demo or too-- something mastered with enough quality that the local radio station won't laugh at you for asking them to play it on the air.

or you could upload a copy .mp3 quality-- and maybe---- it would spread like wildfire--- and suddenly-- there would be MILLIONS of people--- asking-- who's that? then some suit will see an chance to make some money off YOU--and come seek YOU out------

whats the difference between p2p and recording it off the radio like we used to back in the day. wait all day to hear that one song then push down the record button????

Doing my 2 cents worth to get this thread back on track, I believe "Latter Day Cowboy" by Collin Raye has a nice ring to it.
