He tells Ultimate Classic Rock, "Probably the best route they should take, I think they've been playing catchup for a long time - they're constantly trying to readjust and adapt. I think that probably the truth of the matter, the answer is to start from scratch and create a whole new playbook.

"Forget everything - they keep trying to adjust what they knew - throw it out the window and say, 'Okay, we're starting out, now how do we create a new music industry, forgetting everything that went before?' Just get it out of your mind. Because it haunts people, it clouds their judgement and they keep trying to recapture - and it all comes down to economics, you recapture that. Well, forget that - start with a blank piece of paper and say, 'Okay, now we're making a music industry. These are the elements we have, this is the way music is created, this is the way music is transmitted, this is how it's shared and enjoyed.' Build a whole new business plan off of that. I don't think anybody, at least that I'm aware of, has done that, started with just a blank slate and just started over. I think that's really what needs to be done. Just level the f-ing building and build something brand new.

Snider was then asked if he thinks streaming and social media has helped expose him to a new generation. He responded, "I have no idea. I saw a hashtag, Twitter in three words hashtag and I wrote, 'Verdict still out.' I don't know if it has value, if it has a place.

"You probably saw that Dave Draiman has removed himself from Twitter and social media. You know, he's been a punching bag, he tried to make statements like I have in a way, but even more so, political and really try to raise awareness and do things and he just got tired of hearing f-tards. Hashtag, #f-tards. [Laughs] So I don't know, for me.
