Lemmy has hit out at major labels.
In a recent interview, the Motorhead man said majors deserve the current sales problems because they were so slow to adapt to the digital market, saying:
“It’s killing itself, isn’t it? I mean, they [the record companies] are too dumb to realise. I mean, it was fucking years ago that this started, and they just carried on doing what they were doing, blind to any advice, blind to any sort of evidence. They just kept on overcharging and kept on fucking people over, and now the chickens are coming home, you know? I think they’re all gonna be out of business in 10 years”.
