Touring is everything. I can only answer from my experience, but I think the reason Korn’s still here is because of how much we toured. #nexttorock@nexttorock @duffy979X
I guess it’s good to change a little bit, but stay true to who you are, and slightly reinterpreting the way you present your “brand” with different cycles is really cool. #nexttorock@nexttorock@tannersnyderDB
Thanks @jp4media. I think if you have something that is truly different and tangible, it will work. Good is good. It comes seldom, but the best shine through. #nexttorock@nexttorock
Two things. Simplicity and good hook. I call that witchcraft; getting a melody in someone’s brain that you can’t get out. #nexttorock@SacredMusicBand@nexttorock
What makes for a radio ready rock song? The structure? Not waiting too long for a chorus? Good modern drumming? Play what people want to hear & deliver something unique? Great vocals? Just like we asked @DesmondChild#neXt2rock much love btw @JDavisOfficial

Record companies exist to put out recorded music… if you have an active audience, regardless of size, there’s a possibility to make that audience bigger. No part of this is easy… and it’s not for the faint of heart…

This depends on the artist and if the vision is true to the artist’s peer group. For artists of any age, the label’s question is going to be, “who is your audience and can you activate them?”
#neXt2rock@Next2Rock
Now more than ever, artists engaging socially with fans is a must. Even the most talented artists, if they don’t know how to have a real social conversation, they are at a real disadvantage.

Lay out your vision and expectations in the first meeting - like any intimate relationship - don’t hold back… no surprises… If somebody comes across as lazy, they probably are… don’t settle!
