ANTHRAX's SCOTT IAN: 'If You're Stealing Music, You're An Asshole'

Brazil's Wikimetal podcast recently conducted an interview with ANTHRAX guitarist Scott Ian. You can now listen to the chat using the audio player below.

Asked if he thinks the surging popularity of music streaming services such as Apple Music, Spotify and YouTube is ultimately good for the music industry, Ian responded: "I really don't know. I think however you get your music… Here's my answer to that question: as long as you're not stealing music, then I don't care how you get it, whether you're buying vinyl or you're streaming it on Spotify. I think any way you can get your music… And I think if you're stealing it, then you're an asshole. That's all. [Laughs]"

In the past, Ian has been critical of music streaming services like Spotify and Pandora as a source of revenue for artists like ANTHRAX, telling From Hero To Zero in a 2015 interview: "Music doesn't have the same value in people's minds on this planet as it did ten years ago, twenty years ago… The commodity of music is worth less these days. Albums couldn't be cheaper. You could buy a brand new album, let's say on iTunes, you could buy a brand new CD for ten dollars. I mean, it wasn't that long ago where you had to go to, let's say, Virgin Megastore, which used to be everywhere. Albums back then in the States, a brand new CD would cost you at least seventeen dollars. That's not even including the gas to get there in your car, paying for parking sometimes. Now you could just sit at home and pay ten dollars. It's never been cheaper, and people still have a problem with that, apparently, because they'd rather steal it or stream it."

He went on to say: "Now, look, I get streaming — it's a modern convenience, it's the next step of where things are going, as far as how to get your music, and I don't have a problem with that. Look, I was one of the first people to get an iPod. I love iTunes, I love having all my shit right here in my phone; I love the convenience of that. I even like streaming, because it will turn me on to music that maybe I wouldn't have heard before and then I'll go and buy the record. But I just feel like, once again, bands are getting ripped off by these streaming services. If Spotify would pay more money to the bands for the art they're creating, I think just in general people would have a better view of music and think it was worth more. Music should be worth something. It is worth something. We're creating art, and these businesses have completely devalued what we do, and obviously I think that's bullshit."

ANTHRAX's latest album, "For All Kings", sold 34,000 copies in the United States in its first week of release to land at position No. 9 on The Billboard 200 chart. According to Billboard, ANTHRAX was last in the top 10 back in 1993 with "Sound Of White Noise", which debuted and peaked at No. 7. "For All Kings" also gave ANTHRAX its largest sales week for an album since "Sound Of White Noise"'s second week on sale (40,000; it debuted with 62,000).

"For All Kings" is ANTHRAX's first studio album since 2011's "Worship Music" (No. 12 peak with 28,000 sold in its first week) and follows the 2013 covers set "Anthems" (No. 52; 8,000 sold in its debut frame).

"For All Kings" also topped the Hard Rock Albums chart in both the U.S. and Canada, and landed at No. 5 and No. 7, respectively, on the U.S. and Canada's Top Current Albums charts. Additionally, "For All Kings" debuted at No. 2 on Billboard's Top Rock Albums chart, No. 2 on the Independent Albums chart, No. 4 Physical Albums, and No. 5 Vinyl Albums chart.

пошел выкачивать дискографию Anthrax, судя по всему терять мне уже нечего

Я ворую музыку, но не ихнюю. Так что не козлина.

На фотке под новостью Скотт как-бэ негодуэ: "Сколько-же я потерял шекелей из-за этих козлин !"
А вообще это, даже не борьба, а потявкивание на ветряные мельницы уже порядком раздражает.
Предлагаю Скотту, Ларсу и сочувствующим 2 возможных варианта для изменения сложившегося положения вещей:
1. Изобрести машину времени, отправиться в прошлое, убить создателя интернета, уничтожить всех причастных и всю документацию (параллельно снять об этом фильм и срубить кучу шекелей, фильм назвать "Треш-мстители из будущего: Потерянный шекель")
2. Убить себя об стену.

Дурень, без этого "воровства" я бы и Anthrax не услышал, а увидев в магазине CD, мне бы и в голову не пришло его купить.

"1. Изобрести машину времени, отправиться в прошлое, убить создателя интернета"

Дык он жеж уже и сам предлагал отключить интеренеты). А вообще было бы круто, да.

Как там правительство РФ нынче характеризирует российскую экономику? "Не кризис, а новая реальность"? Ну так Скотту пора бы к этому прислушаться. В музыкальном бизнесе тоже не кризис - кризис это дело проходящее. А тут всё иначе - тут "новая реальность" и она навсегда. Не будет больше у музыкантов тех доходов, что были раньше, до интернета. Привыкайте, товарищи, к "новой реальности", и не нойте, не ждите конца "кризиса", потому что это не кризис.

Используйте свою музыку как рекламу концертов.

Совсем, видать, дела у Антракс плохи. Музыку у них своровали. Интернет надо запретить.
Ну с таким вокалистом судьба группы, в общем-то, предрешена. Мы не в 1980-х.

Alias

А что не так у группы с вокалистом? И в чем проблема 80-х, что-то я не понял?

4 май 2016

Mercyful Satan

А он вокалист у них что-ли ? Что за мода на долбоипические бороды ? Больше на себя внимание обратить нечем ? Ну так-то это риторический вопрос ... Борода и звиздёшь про интернет, политику и прочее ...
Кстати, я понял в чём суть высказываний этих персонажей. Они просто уже старики. Старики любят размышлять про политику и что раньше трава была зеленее и шекель звонкий падал в карман охотнее. Вот и всё. А былой хватки и удали уже нет, маразм на подходе.
