Moby on Music Business

[Tallykoren]

Thanks for uploading this great video.

[TheTvrulesthenation]

Moby is a fucking genius artist, between his music/photography/philantropy & veganism i've top respect for this guy. Pretty sure he offers free downloads too of his music, John Frusciante is the only other guy i know that i'd put on par with him (Ex RHCP guitarist)

[rhinohouse]

Gonna party like it's 1999!



[cdnowuk48]

i lovvvveeeeeee moby's music especially porcelain my fav

[Donatellangelo]

So this must be why mm hates Moby. Moby is cool, mm is a dick!

[TheBlayzinAsian420]

Even though I don't listen to Moby's music, I have much respect for the guy because he is one of the FEW real artists out there

[lonnieljones]

Labels rip off the artists! Plain and simple.

[bloodyrockfire]

@lonnieljones hey rather persuade them to sell music with extremely limited quality or lend them twards the obvious wrong direction.The major labels are the main issue here.You can't possibly sign a deal unless you put your own integrity aside.Some indie labels with such distributers are getting even more insecure.Massive exposure for nothing but more of that;the result consists of nothing but filling the pit without noticing it's deth limits

[ThePsychShack]

I sure hope that he's not talking about mainstream music, because mainstream music as played on the radio and TV SUCKS nowadays. Also he's contradicting himself and talking crap because he's talking about 1999 albums sucking, uhhhh he released the album "play" which was a booming success in that year!

[cdnowuk48]

@ThePsychShack in 1999 albums were the best thy did not suck , 1999 was the peak year for music!? if he released play this year it doesent sell because people's taste has changed , now we have bad music not in 1999.

[athalas]

WOW. THIS MAN IS GENIUS.

[GaryNull]

this guy is dumb.

music died after around 1986.

good records are few and far in between these days.

[BrickUnit]

@GaryNull meh, 1999

[blachubear]

Hell today music is crap, the music in the nineties were at it's peak.

[BigKnobInYourFace]

Good discussion.

[cdwondotcom]

If you get to sucsessfull on The net , Like " Myspace" , watch how quickly you get slowed down and your songs drop completly out of the charts + Restrictions ...You wld think you wld get signed .. But , "no" the labels control everything....

[espChris93]

I agree with him completely. A very similar trend happened the first time skateboarding got popular. everyone wanted to do it to be cool and get rich/famous so you had all these posers and douchebags everywhere making the scene stale and repetitive not pushing the boundaries of creativity at all. When those trends died out the only people that started skating or kept skating where the people who truly loved it and helped it progress. Nowadays both are popular and you have mainstream prima donas.

[boomytokan]

I am glad. This is so true and I try to communicate this to artists. I am on You tube myself and my name is Boomy Tokan

[AudioRedemption]

Underground music will be the new Sound and record labels of the rich will be no more ! Underground always been and always will be real - You always got new songs and can meet new artists that will talk with you and share information ... If you make money along the way then Good Job and if not then have fun and let the music flow !!!

[BrickUnit]

Justin bieber, lady gaga, jonas brothers, that sums it up

[Gtrplyr1]

@BrickUnit Don't forget LiL Wayne and Soulja Boy .They suck just as much.

[GotWhatUNeedMusic]

Damn this is so real and i need to hear more of this.

[eathenicus]

@GotWhatUNeedMusic I had to visit the torrent sites for the first time in history.

[underyourskindvd]

nice interview... a real artist.

[Maximumraver]

@underyourskindvd I couldn't agree more.

[pinkcheesevatos]

mobys music is pretty crappy but he makes a lot of good points!!!

[tvrulesnation]

@pinkcheesevatos

Here i can appreciate people having different tastes & all but Mobys music isn't crappy, its different (ie not to yer taste) He's good & has a knack for the electronic /ambient genre, in terms of the music business he's a fucking genius.

Frusciante ex RHCP guitarist is another genius shit he goes so far as to let people download recent albums he makes for free, & if you want donate which all goes to keeping music in underprivelegd schools

[PopCulture20]

@pinkcheesevatos you are SO STUPID if you think Moby's music is crap!!!

[mikefunaro16]

Moby's understanding and sense of the world and business around him are amazing.

[Yomanda666]

He speaks a LOT of sence!

[APPBeekman]

the only ones not knowing this yet are the record companies themselves...

[theg33kshow]

Moby giving the honest reality behind the dying record industry.

[televisionsux]

I love the Big Whale. He tells Whale.s Tails. Big Fat Nobody would believe his story.....Whale's Tails.....albeit honest.

[ziggybiggydiggy]

very interesting. he speaks about very relevant issues.

[MagicAccent]

Well said, well said.
