"If a great portion of the audience out there continues to download music, exchange MP3s or copy CDs using their PCs, we'll end up with a scene and an industry containing nothing other than Britney Spears. If anybody calls himself or herself a fan, he or she wouldn't even consider downloading, exchange MP3s or copy CDs using their PCs." Quorthon of Bathory

If I have to point to an example of how bad rock music can get in terms of sheer uselessness, I just indicate Bathory. I had to write promo material for them, and my self-loathing reached benchmark levels.

Then again, in that same interview Quorthon claimed the latest Bathory album sold 50,000 copies, which is nothing to sneeze at considering what a limited appeal his music has. And considering how that heavy metal fans will pay extremly high prices for CDs even if they can get the tracks on MP3, I don't think Quorthon is going to have to worry about paying the bills any time soon.
