Derek Roddy Quits Hate Eternal[views:29488][posts:60]__________________________________ [Mar 29,2006 11:48am - ra nli ""] Josh_Martin said:I also love how Tom can talk shit about my old band but I can't say anything about his, because I've never heard it, I've never heard anyone talk about it at all, and I most likely never will. I love how you say I talk shit about your old band when you're the one who brings that band into any argument trying to make yourself look better. I would think you'd be able to figure out by now that it doesn't impress me. |

Stop being a bitch whenever he enters a thread, you're the one that tried to piss him off when he told posted his opinion. It's not even like his opinion was bullshit. You were just trying to be a dick, and now you're making your self look stupid. |

(I'm not 100% sure of this, but Rutan definitely seems to be the core of that band.) Just because someone plays on a record doesn't mean they get an equal cut of the royalties. And while I very much agree that Roddy is an amazing musician, I am with Josh about the fact that skill does not entitle someone to money. I mean it sucks that talentless metalcore hacks make a killing while Roddy gets a pittance, but any Death Metal musician should know from the start that actually making decent money off his music requires more than just skill, but also luck, business sense and the ability to write good songs. Who cares about the royalties? Him & Rutan own a recording studio together, they're biz partners. I'm sure they sunk alot of $$ into it & it's probably the biggest reason for his debt. Yes he's an amazing drummer, and has many endorsements, but he still pays for his equipment. It costs a lot of money to put new heads on those drums & he probably shreds 2 or 3 pairs of sticks a day. It's expensive for him to go on the road. |

I will be focusing on the clinics and website for quite a while!!! I've got the Blotted Science project with Ron and Alex, that's coming along really good, so You will hear alot more music from me this way." "Well, I wouldn't say that HE made any financial burden that I didn't bring on myself for doing this so long. I have high monthly bills personally. We DID have the opportunity to "make money" but, call it "bad luck" or "karma" or whatever! I still haven't made enough to cover my monthly bills. THAT'S how I got in debt. It had nothing to do with HE and the idea behing it....I just can't afford to do it anymore. I don't want to hold Eric and Randy back from doing HE if they want, So I felt it was best if I left. I had a medical "scare" this last month and it really put things into perspective. I realized I didn't have any health insurance!!!!I can't afford it!!!! It forced me to make a life change. What can I say? I can't afford to make bad decisions about my life anymore." |
