Haha Thanks mate. I thought maybe You did. Anyways..Yeah I guess I shouldn't have brought this up. Since I dint realize that the thread was mostly discussing about newly established Musicians. I'll look for the link if I can find it..Which is where I read that artists like John-5 and Mick Thomson have paid endorsements. And every good word they put out for the Brand is usually paid for. I'll just end this now. =p by admitting I shouldn't have made my comment in the first place. Sorry for any misconceptions. Cheers.
Applying what you know about artists like Slipknot to everyone is a little far fetched you have to admit. Established or not, bands like slipknot cannot be compared to the likes of Meshuggah in terms of cash flow.
