So, if we sign with a label of any sort, we will actually OWE THEM money until we get more popular?

How do you get rich from being a artist then. Do you get more out of live performes then? Why do people wanne be fames then? Well I got to say when I really like an artist I always buy the CD of then. Even if you now say that you only get 23 cents out of it. Well come to Europe (the Netherlands) again some day then I can finaly see you live.
Greetings
Anke

And now that I know the truth I got to say it’s quite a pittance!

MAJOR – Mike, do you get royalties when an idol type show uses your songs? Does the record company get a cut of that too?
HERTZ RENT-A-CAR – My friend and I decided to make LP’s concert in Albuquerque into a road trip from Iowa. It was a very nice vacation (We also went to the Omaha and Kansas shows). When we were planning the trip we tried to get a Hertz Hybrid car and realized that it would be very expensive. I agree that the cars have to be accessible.

I’d like to know why you will not come to Brazil. They were saying that linkin park would come to Brazil on 15 November, but now they are saying you are not coming. I can’t understand why you can’t came.
Is there a good explanation for your not coming to Brazil?
If you read this comment (I don’t think you will, you have more things to do) please let us brazilians know the real motive of this.
I’m really sorry for writing it surely in the wrong place, but I think that brazilians deserve better treatment.
Sorry if there’s any mistake and thankful if you answer this.

I am so excited for the Glorious Excess (Dies), well not him dieing, but the art! I have been waiting for that special piece of art that I am going to have forever inked into my body. When I am old and saggy and not 18 anymore it’s going to be there! So! Is it going to be this time around you think? If it is I would love to have your autograph tattooed near it as well. Well, have a wonderful night!
-Kellie
