R.I.P. the music industry---will you miss live bands? Compaq disks...?

[DanOkeffie]

Breaks my heart that the music industry is dead. Hell, music as we know it is over! I doubt that we will ever see bans like Metallica, journey, Motley Cru, Disturbed, 5FDP, or Def leppard. Gone are the days of buying a bands music but what really troubles me is gone are the days of seeing a band live. The business model is too broken to be repair.

Sure we will see some garage/bar bands but there is no way to make a career out of music.

I for one will miss that dream/fantasy but will miss bands on tour

Europe still has some big festivals. They may be successful because it's a social event, not just a music one.

Music and bands: Breaking Benjamin announced they'll hit the road (summer 2025), but I haven't heard a word about their tour. They may have started a tour, but I'm not sure.

Don't believe it. I see lots of mid size shows but also some arena bands. I don't know how bands get paid but there seems to be enough willing to do it.

Been to several live shows in the last few years. None that you mentioned and a different genre, but live nonetheless. Live music seems far from dead to me.
