ANNIHILATOR's Jeff Waters - "With The Music Business You Just Never Know"
March 3, 2014, 10 years ago
Mark Dean from My Global Mind recently interviewed Jeff Waters of ANNIHILATOR, an excerpt follows:
What are the best and worst aspects of being a working and touring musician in the Internet age?
"Well I guess in my particular case it's just a typical thing. If you have a nine to five job, sometimes you have job security, something that you can rely on. You have a pay check that you know that you are getting every two weeks or every month. At the same time you know people lose their jobs. It’s not really all security. The thing with the music business is that you just never know. You could come up with the best record that you think that you have ever come up with or best songs. A label can totally destroy it, and the potential for it. Or it may be the album that you look back and think man that was not maybe the best album at all and people really like it. If you want control over things, you can't control the outcome of what people think; the press or the fans."To read the interview in its entirety, visit this location.
