Machine Head Frontman Shocked At Music Business Practice

02/01/2013
. (Classic Rock) Machine Head frontman Robb Flynn says current practices in the record industry aren't helping prop up physical sales.

Admitting he personally prefers digital products for reasons of portability, Flynn reports: "I have a ritual I've done for every release where, first day, I go in and buy our album. I was stunned when I went into Ameoba Records in Hollywood and saw our regular album not on sale, but full price for $16.99.

"It's wrong � you reward the die-hards for going out there and supporting you first day, week, month. It's a thank you. We were pissed, fans weren't stoked. Sh*t like this has to change � it has to � and we as a band (with your help) have to figure out a way around it." More rock news.
