Compared to what they were, rock concerts now are like business meetings.

Musicians by and large make a living with a relationship with an audience that is economically harnessed through performance and ticket sales.

No matter what part of the business you want to be in, live performances are the most thrilling.

I don't even know what words to use to talk about the music industry anymore. But the business has changed a lot - the methods of releasing music.

The labels are in a jam. For a company to do well in music now, it's got to be in all aspects of the business. And Live Nation is the risk-taker. It's leading the charge.

The music industry has been hijacked by corporate interests, but the way music affects people and resonates with them hasn't changed.

The players in the promotion business today are, by and large, not in it for the art anymore. It's all about how many bucks can you make on a concert.

The music industry is transforming fairly rapidly.

There's much more money being brought into the advertising and communications business than in the music industry.

I hate the industry even more now, no bands get nurtured anymore. Labels only spend money promoting acts they know will be Top Ten. I find it offensive spending $2 million on a video.
