I've always wondered why people like indie bands and bash on the ones that got signed. If indie bands were good, wouldnt they be signed?Quote:

i don't understand why its such a monumental thing, esp since its being done more and more. When you see your favorite band playing they are using harmonizers and equilizers etc., there is actually a purpose for the big rigs of equipment stacked behind them ... they aren't just to look pretty.
Before you think i am "Completely wrong" i agree to use Computers instead of singing is pathetic, however to use one to clean up the track or whatnot ... thats just how the biz works.

And for your question snoopy
"I've always wondered why people like indie bands and bash on the ones that got signed. If indie bands were good, wouldnt they be signed?"
Its a status thing ... to make it big just by following alone is what indie is all about ... not getting a butt load of money to promote and distribute (because you signed a contract)... it means more cause you did it all yourself.
