Err no. I think the corporations that want to round up and promote their artists for extortionate prices at their own venues are the real villains here. Having paid £130 for a very patchy lineup at Download that did not deliver a value for money lineup, can you really expect me to pop into a large record store and pay £13 for an old Kiss CD. The disposable income is just not there anymore. I agree that downloading illegaly is not the answer but the onus is on the music industry to provide the product at a price that is acceptable.I wonder how much KISS were paid as headliners last weekend. As I mentioned above, the overall Download lineup was very poor as far as big names are concerned. Thank God for some of the small unknown bands who were probably paid a pittance if they didn't have to pay themselves to play for it was these guys that made the weekend bearable for me.
