Record Companies Quotes

There aren’t enough people who are scaring the kind of people who work at these record companies Picture Quote #1

It’s typical of record companies. They sign you because you’re unique, and then they want to put you in a mold so they can sell records Picture Quote #1

I don’t hear record companies coming up with any good ideas or suggestions. Historically, if it ain’t their idea, it ain’t no good, so you got that to contend with Picture Quote #1

We had an EP out and all of a sudden we find record companies are interested in us, and we’re thinking, ‘Oh, that’s really nice, but we don’t think we’re ready for it Picture Quote #1

Everybody can perform, there are so many outlets. Musicians are no longer limited. In the past, the record companies made most of the money. I for one am not sorry to see them fade away Picture Quote #1

You can always pound out demos and send them to record companies, but most of the successful bands I’ve seen are the ones that can sustain themselves Picture Quote #1

Albums aren’t even selling anymore and there’s a reason for that. Record companies are just signing single and ring tone deals and it doesn’t seem like they’re focusing on albums Picture Quote #1

There’s this thing called compulsory licensing law that allows artists through the record companies to take your music at will without your permission Picture Quote #1

I'm really lucky that my record companies have been patient with me and leave me alone and give me the time to make it right in my mind Picture Quote #1

And looking at today’s music scene, I think it’s cool that there are a lot of consumers and fans not limited by what radio and the record companies tell them to buy Picture Quote #1

Finally, I would like to remind record companies that they have a cultural responsibility to give the buying public great music. Milking a trend to death is not contributing to culture and is ultimately not profitable Picture Quote #1

The only thing I have no control over is the politics that goes on within the record company. It’s always been the same, but it’s far tougher now, because record companies are run by financial people; before, they were run by creative people Picture Quote #1

When certain bootleg companies started off and they would take maybe ten per cent of whatever they got and help fuel new bands, which I’m cool with, I think that’s a good idea. Most of the record companies are not doing that Picture Quote #1

Well it’s because the record companies are pumping away with their commercial stuff. I think it’s a shame Picture Quote #1

It’s all false pressure; you put the heat on yourself, you get it from the networks and record companies and movie studios. You put more pressure on yourself to make everything that much harder Picture Quote #1

First of all, you needed a budget to do the video. The record companies would pick and choose who got videos Picture Quote #1

Now record companies are run by lawyers and accountants. The shift from the one to the other was definitely related to when the takes started to get big Picture Quote #1

I’m really happy that I got to work with such fresh talent. In a day when record companies are not particularly good at encouraging young, talented songwriters to come forward and get exposure, I think it’s important to give tomorrow’s songwriters the opportunity Picture Quote #1

This constant pressure from record companies to come up with a hit single or something like that, I find completely tiresome Picture Quote #1

When radio stations started playing music the record companies started suing radio stations. They thought now that people could listen to music for free, who would want to buy a record in a record shop? But I think we all agree that radio stations are good stuff Picture Quote #1

Between the record companies being the way they are and the fact that people can just download one song instead of buying a whole album, it’s hard to make a good living nowadays Picture Quote #1

Actually, I have another record I made with them in 1976, but I’ve had such a bad experience with record companies, because I keep my head so much in music and not in business Picture Quote #1

The situation is not good with the record companies. It’s just not working out, so I don’t plan to record until it’s straightened out. In the meantime I’m happy doing my movies and writing the music for the theme songs, whether I sing them or not Picture Quote #1

I think all record companies should be run by a musician. Just as you wouldn’t trust your health to an electrician Picture Quote #1

Record companies would rather you stay dumb, not even think of it as a business, so they can either rip you off or get you out of the way in five years to make way for the new groups Picture Quote #1

The digital revolution has disrupted most traditional media: newspapers, magazines, books, record companies, radio Picture Quote #1

You have record companies that sign acts that they think are great, and then they never do anything. Acts that they don’t think are really going to do much end up having a career. I don’t think anyone really knows what it is that drives somebody to get on their computer and want to download a song Picture Quote #1

You’re starting to see new record companies and business models taking shape, but it takes time Picture Quote #1

I think everyone should sell whatever product they want to sell for whatever price they want to sell it for, but ultimately the market will dictate what it is and people will have to charge less money for everything. Record companies have been overcharging people for way too long and now this is the trouble that they’re in Picture Quote #1

I was always told that I was too strange or that I was too cheesy by different groups of people, like the record companies said I was way too weird and the indie people wouldn’t even let me in their band Picture Quote #1
