Possibly. Bands make their money by touring, though, plus look at all the bands giving away their albums for free now. It's so easy to make an album these days. But if there's one thing I don't want, it's for the record stores to go out of business. I love going into the store and rushing to get home to try and rip off that fucking security sticker so I can listen to it

Usually i download the Cd then buy it. Because the closest place to me that sells cd's is Wal-Mart. So when i go to the big city (which i dont often) I get all the cd's o downloads

To Be Honest, I Only Download The Stuff I Can't Find, P.S. Megadeth I Can't Find It Anywhere Where I Live, But Not To Worry People Christmas Day, I Will Get There CD's To Make Up For My Downloads.

I look at it this way nowadays; If I can download it I will, but it won't stop me from buying the CD if I come across it. Alot of stuff is hard to find and sometmes you have to resort to downloading. Most of the money from record sales goes straight to the labels anyway, and not the artists.

Yeah some issues of P.U.L.S.E by Pink Floyd have books which are really cool, little hardbacks with piccys!!!

hey, i checked i-tunes because my friend let me borrow his Back in Black cd and i wanted the cover art on my i-pod..... and they dont even have a single AC/DC cd on i-tunes!!!! WTF?!?!?!!?!?!??!

Most albums do, don't they, man?

I know that all of the AC/DC remasters come with little books.

Downloading albums=fail.

Buying it is so much better. I actually like reading through the notes and things.

quote

cd's are so much better than downloaded music

quote

Nothing like mowing lawns to get the latest CD from a favorite band.

Something about the smell of a CD shop that makes it all special, though.

quote

I absolutely agree! Getting a CD gives you a special feeling, but unfortunately not everyone understands this. There are people like "But it is the same music?" but they aren't REAL music lovers. A lot of times I just lay down on my bed for an hour and listen to music, and I don't just listen to music on my mp3 when I'm waiting.

quote

Keep the peace, but CD's also!
