ARCH ENEMY Bassist Sharlee D'Angelo On Digital Music - "I’m Old School; Having Nothing Is Not Really For Me"
December 7, 2009, 14 years ago
ARCH ENEMY bassist Sharlee D'Angelo is featured in a new interview with Greece-based Metalpaths. An excerpt is available below:
Q: We are during a world financial crisis. Do you think that the crisis have a negative effect to music as well? Many labels are talking about abolishing physical cds and replace them with digital albums. What’s your point of view?
Sharlee: "I’m old school. I mean when I grew up, at first there was vinyl. So, for me it was a step down going to CD as well and get used to that. Now, having nothing is not really for me, but I understand how young people listen to music through a concept with their phones basically (laughs). Then is the deal that bands spend a lot of time in the studio, making albums perfect, the way they want them to sound, which is little redundant nowadays because people listen to music through the phone speaker, so what’s the point of producing an album (laughs)? There are many different ways of seeing that, but for that, times change and you’ve got to go with it, but for me I like the physical product."
