No one points this out. And while Congress has passed legislation to right this wrong, almost all the streaming services are APPEALING, which means we STILL don’t get paid for our work. But please people, by all means- stream away... 🙄 https://t.co/QsaVVdrvUI

We HAVE to tour. It’s the only way we can make a living. Merch helps, but the merch companies make the lion’s share. Streaming is pricing artists- old AND new- out of careers. https://t.co/XMk3llFJGX

It’s not the streaming itself, kid. I don’y care HOW people get the music. I care how the COMPANIES who provide it compensate the fuckin’ people who made it in the first place. https://t.co/W5PdDRyi7G

I buy albums, physically and on iTunes. I WILL say this: Apple Music is the ONLY streaming service that is NOT appealing the legislation. Thank you @AppleMusic

All due respect, this isn’t about contracts right now because they don’t reflect the service righteously. And even if the streaming service pays the label, WE still don’t get paid. This is about PUBLISHING. They’re offering OUR work and not paying for it.

Because as long as the RECORD LABELS get THEIR money, they don’t CARE if the ARTIST gets paid at ALL. Or who plays their music- unless it’s a critic on @youtube THEN THEY’RE UP IN ARMS 🙄

All due respect, I simply do not believe the ‘rock and metal isn’t popular’ idea. Our shows are sold out, our numbers are just as high as anyone else’s and we’ve been #1 every time. This isn’t about popularity, because it happens in EVERY GENRE.

Any service where you can buy the album, or songs at a time. Even buying a song singly makes us more than simply streaming it.
The irony here is, if the streaming services adhered to the payment scale that Radio has to abide by, we’d all be paid fairly.

Because if you don’t own your masters, you can do fuck all to stop what the labels do.
