I didn't think it was. I said that because I used to be an Augeri Hater and piled on whenever I could.
Now I am just indeferent.
well now you're not really indifferent if you choose to post something negative in a thread that a fan of his started with good intention are you.
I understand what you're saying about sales, but it does seem that most melodic rock artists are selling their music through Itunes, CDBaby, etc., and their own websites. It seems that only the heavy hitters with huge corporate backing, rap stars, and country artists are making it to shelves in Target and Walmart. The majority of the artists that Andrew promotes on his site are on independent labels and selling direct. That is just the nature of the music industry. I think the majority of these guys are in it more to be doing what they love than for the money. The money days are gone unless you win American Idol. And that only lasts for a season.
I suppose there is a fine line between "negative" and "truthful".
Am I out to blast the guy like in the past? No, not at all. I used to have a hatred for him. That is gone.
I just answered in the most likely scenario as I see it.
You are right about Target and Walmart sales - which is where most of the retail music is bought these days. In truth, I would like to see him make it, just to spite Journey.
But I am not looking for it either way.
There is a fine line especially to a fan.
I know you are not a moron Knox like others who just want to see the guy fail for their own enjoyment.
