It’s pretty widely known that if you’re the guy in your office that everyone hates, you’re fucked. You won’t advance and you won’t excel. Because you need to work with people. Including people you don’t want to work with. When you run around screaming “F the industry, it’s bad, it’s corrupt, it’s wrong.” What did you really expect???

Well let’s be fair here; it’s probably far less “keeping us in the loop“, and a bit more “hello my fans I need you to rally around me and help me battle this injustice to me” The “we“ language is manipulative and I don’t care for it. None of this has any impact on anyone other than Tom MacDonald and other artists in similar situations, and if he prevails there will be no benefit to anyone other than Tom and his crew. If he fails, no ill effects will befall anyone in the fandom, so that inclusive language is meant to manipulate people to rally around him. Just be honest and keep it 💯- YOU are being screwed and YOU would like help from the people that call themselves your fans. Stop speaking in a way that suggests that a victory will be shared by all, because it most certainly will not be.

I believe your music has already reached the top of the music charts and billboard just needs to quit taking big corporate music label’s dollars to have their artists represented in the top chart positions and put those who truly have earned there place on top. Keep doing what you do the truth shall bring you justice so long as enough of the people you reach believe in equality and justice for all . United we stand so we say.

Like you used to be able to buy the CD packaged with a shirt and other stuff, he's done that every CD release and I'm sure it brings in decent revenue. With this album he had to remove that so as to help the "data collection agency" count the album sales. He lost out on cash doing that, and he's not even really complaining about it and that's legit. Don't see anyone commenting on it either so yeah.

Your lyrics are exceptional and hit me right in my chest. Your delivery is amazing, your look is even better. You are all so incredibly inspiring and I thank God for your being.

When I lived in Colorado, a local metal band Allegeaon gained traction (rightly so, Accelerated Evolution is one of the best prog metal songs second only to Persephone's The Majestic of Gaia), got signed to Metal Blade. Found them when MySpace was still big (I believe the CIA/NSA secretly bought out Tom to ruin MySpace to implement Facebook [U.S. Govt funded creation of]. They had to ask for donations, when their touring van broke down. The label was no help.

Can't lie to you Tom. I'm independent as well and it's extremely tough and everything honestly relies on how much money and time you can put into your work and passion (music). I've almost given up a few times on being independent and almost signed before but I always ended up refusing to give in to the music industry giants for the simple fact that I don't want someone else to eat fat or have any credit/claim off of my hard work. So, I get why you feel this way and I am proud and amazed at where you guys got but completely understand why it's still not a satisfying accomplishment. Keep up the grind and I will to. Thanks for being an inspiration to all of us who are also trying to make it independently. Much love. 💯

You sign today and it's an automatic 360 deal meaning they get a piece of EVERYTHING you sell. Merch, albums, social media, tv, movies. If a dude loans you a quarter for a parking meter they want a cut of it, and they'll get it. They got a cut of all of my session player work. I go record for other people, but the labels got a cut of it. Fuck off with that. Keep in mind what they really want is your intellectual property so their guaranteed money makers have more songs to choose from. Anything you put out before signing, they want it. They can legally shelf you to stop competition from their other acts. I was wrapped up in this for a long, long time. You stay independent you keep 100% of everything you sell, so you can sell far fewer units but make much, much more.

Your position amounts to, “There’s things in the constitution not relevant to me, so they should simply be abandoned.” And it’s that self serving logic that prompted the founders to include the three fourths requirement to amend the constitution. However, amendments have to pass constitutional muster and therefore any change can’t violate the natural rights the document was enacted to protect. Try harder.
