The Black Keys: A Big Record Deal Can Destroy You

[@murderinc.hunting7686]

This is so spot on. As a former musician, I still remember all the bands we played with that had ANY success telling us "whatever you do, don't sign a deal! They'll just put you up against 20 other bands just like you and shelve all of you." Joke was on them, we weren't that successful anyway lol

[@GhostradamusX]

lol I hear ya

[@alluringbliss4165]

So it's a method to kill the competition , me thinks. Sign as many and shelf them for a decade.

It doesn't seem like he's hogging the spotlight or anything though. I think he's just more of an extrovert. It's a lot like Penn and Teller. Penn admits openly that Teller is the better magician and designs most of the tricks, but their whole gimmick is he's the silent one and he's fine with it.

[@QuicksandHUM]

Weird thing about getting a record deal is that it can mess with your head on a number of levels. We were popular locally, generated buzz on tour, then when we got signed they acted like they had to "fix" us. We were good enough to sell out clubs and get signed, but then all of a sudden they acted like we weren't quite good enough. Lots of attempted tinkering. Lots of hurry up and wait. The whole experience was bizarre. That said, many people get their deal and take off like a rocket. I have friends that won the musical lottery. Like anything, there are a ton of variables, and your mileage may vary. For us, the most fun we had was being independent and doing what we wanted when we wanted. The deal was cancerous for us, and we died a slow death.
