It amazes me how many artists in this day and age are so ignorant about the business. Obviously, he hasn't looked at his accounting statement from EMI to realize the band's royalty payments on recored sales stand at zero because they haven't recouped. 14% of zero is still zero pal. Never, in the history of time, have the majority of artists made any money from record sales. You make your money from merch, licensing and touring. How do you put bodies in those seats you ask? You get your music in the hands of the people dumbass.
