Oh, and as for the rights of the artist; don't you think they have enough money as it is?




Please tell me you're joking???

I like to think that Vai is looking out for artists other than himself. Vai himself should be financially set. He strikes me as an astute business person and a marketing whiz as far as his own image is concerned. He does have a record label as well and I don't know what kind of deal he has going in terms of wider mainstream distribution, but I like to think that he's on this agenda on behalf of the up-and-coming artists that he deals with. Perhaps I'm naive and hopelessly optimistic, but Vai strikes me as a person who does care about the plight of other artists besides himself.

I'll join you in the optimism Very Happy

This is why the Internet has become such a viable ( no pun intended ) option for smaller artists where you can sell directly without the label percentages being taken.

I also feel the same way about Vai Smile

Yeah, Vai is definitely one smart business person and extremely well-off for a musician of his kind. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to do what he loves for this long.
