After a few minutes of research, he does seem like a sensible lad, which makes it even odder that he doesn't want to be heard. Or maybe he's just too antique - despite seemingly doing experimental stuff - to know how to reach younger generations with what he has to say.
Anyway, like I said -...
It does seem he puts a massive value on his work yes. Not enough getting paid £7500k to do nothing and get 100-200 million new listeners.
His choice. A yes meant money and exposure, a no means no money and no exposure. He went with the latter and thats fine, but not sure why he's making a thing...
Fair enough. But he just published a post on Twitter where he whines about not getting enough money for something that would introduce a new generation to his music. But maybe he secretly feels the music has nothing to say to the younger generation and that's the real reason he's opting out.
I...
Sounds to me like he was quite interested but not happy with the money :shrug:
This is a guy who doesn't want 150 million new people to hear his music because he's not getting quick money for it.
Barely a musician, more of a shite capitalist.
The Vice City soundtrack is probably the most impactful this millennium. Millions and millions from a new generation getting hooked on 80s music. Certainly wasn't a bad move for the artists featured however little they made on the initial deal...
Whoever this is, being in GTA is the best PR he is ever going to get. Many would pay to have their music played in GTA.
Turning it down for money reasons is plain stupid.
