Truth is I usually forget that this is an open place that anyone out there can read, and the shout out from Izzy made us even more visible. So yeah, you're right and it was a good idea to edit it out. Don’t worry about it too much, he doesn’t live there anymore. I mainly thought it was weird because he was living there at that time and that an official newspaper would print that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found this because I was curious.. So in other words, if one of your songs has been streamed 0.5% of the total number of streams in a month, you will get 0.5% of the of the royalties paid out to right holders. Spotify pays this out to whoever owns the music. There is no difference whether youare a major label artist or an indie. In other words you don't paid a lot of money..

Wow , is true ... thanks for sharing. Now I think if he monetized his You Tube channel he could make a difference,That would solve the problem of fans who upload things on you tube for lack of information and fans who can not buy the music could listen to it there and contribute . Many bands made lyrics videos of almost all the songs they had, and other material,like Queen, and those videos have millons of views ( i know Queen is a huge band but without Freddie they have been in the same struggle and doing that, he it actually will have a daily entrance of money)... I mean, if you download the song from iTunes is just a click per person but with you tube he would have thousands of visits 40 minutes ago, killuridols said: oh His songs are not played that much, according to those little graphics beneath the songs.

I've always published his songs directly from there because fans they say that they love to have izzy's entire discography but american dollars are very expensive or they dont have credit cards, or whatever ... i had luck cause i bought Them when dollar was cheaper to looooong time ago, so now i feel kinda bad cause i want people buy the songs but i understand the fans too ...

I think Spotify is a good way to help decide a posterior purchase because people will not go directly buying stuff unless they are die-hards. It has helped me a lot to decide whether I wanted to buy a whole album or just a few songs. I guess that's the major benefit an artist could get from Spotify.

So true, i remember when i bought cd's and then didn't like them, it's the worst haha... but i'm a huge fan of albums tho, nothing like the ritual of listening a record for the first time ♥ i guess in Izzy's case is different because is easier to donwload pirate versions than buy it from internet ( sad but true) i know any of us will do it , but other fans who aren't compromised with izzy's work, will choose that Edited April 24, 2017 by Izzyarg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This "problem" all artists have it and they have to live with it, unfortunately People do not buy whole albums anymore and if they can get them for free, they will just download it, even if the quality is fuckin' shit. I own every GN'R album in CD format but I have re-purchased all of them from iTunes, just to show support towards the band and also have them in digital form in my iPod. That's all I could do to help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Archtop Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 In the long run what works out better for an Artist, iTunes, Spotify of having there own private YouTube channel to support music? I have always supported ITunes because I always thought it was better, but looking at the % an artist gets in return is crap. How do smaller artists make money these day, it's rediculous you practically have to non stop tour, be clever about your social media and make sure your vigilant about piracy. You know who has been clever, Slash and his whole Slashes army thing. He basically got a lot of fans retweeting, getting the word out in return for the occasional Thank you for your support.

That's what I'm wondering because what I did was purchase all the albums through iTunes and then I stream them through apple music while I'm using my phone or in my car or whatever. I figured that way he's getting paid twice but it still seems like nothing in the long run. Didn't Duff say in an interview once that touring and merch is the only way to make money now? 5 minutes ago, dgnr said: This is the biggest truth I've ever seen posted on this band's social media Edited April 24, 2017 by Kris_1989 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think Slash idea is bad.. he doesn't need to do that, and maybe is slavery () , but it's not bad to help an artist you support. Fortunately some Slash's pages like Slash Arg and Slash Peru are very nice people Duff Mckagan Argentina too ( they help me to promote my page, to people know Izz was on Twitter) 19 minutes ago, dgnr said: This is the biggest truth I've ever seen posted on this band's social media Oh no, please not again... don't Use My Illusion 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Zoot Posted April 24, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted April 24, 2017 I swear to god only GNR could do this to me. If Led Zep posted a pic of Robert Plant I wouldn't think anything was happening. If Journey posted a pic of Steve Perry I wouldn't expect anything. But GNR does and I immediately turn into this 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
