About this Quote

This quote by Maynard James Keenan is referring to the present state of the music industry. In the past, it was much easier for artists to make a living off of their music. Nevertheless, due to the rise of streaming services and digital downloads, it has actually become far more hard for musicians to make a living off of their music. In order for a musician to break even, they now need to sell a big quantity of records, generally half a million or a million. This is a plain contrast to the past, where a musician could make a living off of selling a couple of thousand records. This quote is a reminder of how tough it is for musicians to make a living off of their music in the present music industry.
