Sebastian Bach, philosopher of our time: "...the whole ironic thing to me is I have over 80,000 "friends" on MySpace but I have not sold 80,000 records; if you're my "friend," could you go fuckin' buy the motherfucker? (Laughs) Who cares if I have 80,000 "friends"?! I mean, who gives a shit! I want to sell 80,000 records! If every one of my "friends" bought my record, it would be great! Whatever! Some friend! (Laughs)" [Rock Monthly via Blabbermouth]

  • I imagine a Socratic dialogue on this subject involving him and Tila Tequila.

  • He was Metal Sludge's greatest villain for years because he doesn't really "get" online culture and completely over-reacts. However I think you can see his frustration. Angel Down really is awesome. It must be hard to have something you are proud of come out in a time when people just aren't buying records.

    He should have pulled a Saul Williams or a Radiohead for the Metal set, rather than be re-signed to a major.

  • @noamjamski:

    Amen, brotha! "Angel Down" is a smokin heavy album.

  • Or, "How to lose friends and still not sell any records."

  • So, if the privledge of being his MySpace friend equals the cost of one of his records, where does it put me on the Sebastian Bach friend scale if I buy him a really good steak dinner, or a puppy? Is that enough to get a perfunctory phone call now and then, or a Christmas card every year?

  • i dunno. seems to have an interesting point. be it a play on words. (since, no one would really call a myspace friend and friend.. but, if you don't know them. and they WANT to be your "friend". it would seem like they'd atleast ask for a promo copy of your album.. who makes their friends pay for thier own release's?
    but i digress.

  • So wait... people on myspace aren't really "friends"? I wish I had known this before I sent out all those Christmas cards last year.
