I've been listening to a Danko Jones concert which features a radio interview with Mr Jones. Below are some edited comments relating to the price of CDs and how bands should respond to TEH DANGERS OF TEH INTERNETS. Danko Jones : I mean if I was a fan and a liked a band and I could either buy it and burn it for ten bucks. I'm gonna buy it for ten bucks as I like the band. But that is just me. I wold do that. Interviewer : Aren't you afraid that you will lose… Danko Jones : We've already lost. I already our CD on the internet before the album was released. And the thing is thats fine. Because what a band's gotta do just changes the playing field for bands now. Bands have to be really good live…now bands have to change their game plan. They gotta realize that the studio is no the be all end all of where their gonna be making their money. They gotta to realize that their live show is where they have to hone their craft….if you suck live no is going to see you. The music industry in general has failed in handling the threat and potential of the internet. Danko Jones is onto to something as rock, blues, jazz or country thrives on live shows. Henry Rollins titled a live Rollins Band album, The Only Way to Know For Sure . The title reflects Henry's belief that the only good acts are those that cut it live. Several months ago I was approached by Sanctuary Records about doing a live album. I was hesitant because I know what the usual perception of a live album is to most people; it’s the record many bands release when they have nothing new to put out and the record company wants to squeeze every drop of potential out of their investment. The poor soul who diligently buys said live album is usually treated to a lackluster recording that has been overdubbed to death in the studio rendering it a non-live experience which is a lie to the fans and proof that the band didn’t have the chops to begin with. The only way to judge a band’s true worth is to throw them onstage and let them do it without the help of repeated takes, overdubs and other modern day crutches that hide a band’s weak spots. "Live" is the only way to know for sure
