Garbage singer rubbishes the Music Industry
GARBAGE frontwoman SHIRLEY MANSON has launched a stinging attack on the music industry after revealing that “contractual complications” could put the brakes on a possible collaboration on the FUN LOVIN’ CRIMINALS’ new album.
Writing on garbage.com, she revealed that FLCs have approached her to sing on their next record, but said that her “contractual complications” could get in the way: “They want me to sing on one of the songs on their new album. The track is really beautiful and I’d love to do it but…I don’t know if I’ll be able to due to my contractual complications. Honestly…the music business has fucking zero to do with the love of music. It’s solely about the egos of men who only really care about power and dollar signs. They don’t give a shit about music or bands or people and you know . That’s fine with me if they don’t but let’s drop the fucking pretence!
“I just wish they would make it perfectly clear that they didn’t give a fuck. Instead they all skulk around the edges, hide in corners, send in the lawyers, smile and ask after the family. God it makes me so angry. Musicians in general get kicked around like footballs. It gets to the point where you begin to stop wanting to make music altogether in an attempt to loosen the noose around your own neck. It’s all so bloody frustrating.”
