“I think bands will actually make more money without record companies; a much bigger share of the money will go to the bands. You won't have record shops taking 40 percent of the money. You won't have record labels taking 40 percent of the money. So they don't have to sell as many albums as they used to in the past. So it's not necessarily a bad thing if record companies disappear.” IfsThinkingPastUsedCompanyRecordsShareBandPercentBiggerSellsAlbumsDisappearLabelsShopsBad ThingsMore MoneyRecord CompaniesRecord Labels Author:Richard Branson
“I get bored quickly. I kind of take my hat off to bands who have been around for a long time and still do the same thing, because it's hard to keep a band together for decades.

I couldn't play the same songs night after night or just trade on my past glories, because it wouldn't interest me as a person.” KindPersonsLongHas BeensStillsHardPlayTogetherPastNightSongInterestBandLong TimeGloryTradeDecadesBoredHatsMy PastHats Off Author:Paul Weller
“In the past when a country became as powerful as the United States, other countries would band together to clip its wings.
