You're an ad-man. You know that!

Maybe he figures it just wouldn't be cost-effective, what with ipods and file-sharing these days...

It is tough but lets look at how this could pan out.

Overhead: he has his own studio, pays his musicians next to nothing, pays nothing for design (look at the shitty DLR Band CD and Diamond Dave cover art) and acts as his own producer.

if he targeted the Roth Army only he could sell enough to cover his overhead and everything else (iTunes etc) could be profit.

Look at Prince & Ani DiFranco - they both have direct to consumer business models for their music that work...and are very profitable.

Either Dave does not know how to do it or Dave does not give a shit enough to do it or learn how to do it.

Mezro...give me a call Dave...we can figure something out:D...

Come on. Who gives a fuckin' damn about whether it sells or not? Who keeps any illusions about most people's tastes? We want some ROCKIN' HEAVY METAL MUSIC FROM DAVE, don't we?

Diamond dave sold crap, and he's been associated with a different label for every album since A Little Ain't Enough (warners, reprise, wawazat, rhino, magna carta) so it's going to be nigh impossible for dave to find a distribution network and mayeb evebn a record deal.

I'd actually argue the opposite. With every major label nowadays in a volume war, setting up farm distribution systems (Universal-Fontana, Sony-Red, EMI-Caroline, WB-Aslyum) it's actually EASIER than ever to get distribution. I'm sure his concern is signing up with a distributor for more than a one-off (which is what his deals with the last few you mentioned were), if there is a chance VH has a chance.

I'm with Mezro here. I worked at a soundtrack label who did this direct route for out of print scores. Fuckin license to print money!! You know who your customers are, they place the orders, you press just enough and ship it media mail...pure fucking $$..

Let's all hope there's a song on it about (er, somewhat) the tweaker jumpin' his fence.

"I got some razorwire as a gaaaaag-gift babayyy......"

Up-tempo....ala' Atomic Punk...

Call it "Midnight Cowboy" or some shit.

The possibilities are endless.
:D

This year would be a good time for a new hard rocking DLR album. Still lots of interest in great retro artists and with strong material, good production, cool artwork, a couple of videos and a tour to back it up I'm sure it would sell well enough. There's a whole disenfranchised CVH audience out there who would support a quality release.

Maybe Dave doesn't want to commit to all of the above while a CVH reunion is still a rumoured possibility.

[Panamark]

LOL @ TB !

Hey Im better looking than that dude !
Got long hair for a start. But I can live with the Rock Detective thing !

And had a worthless son that was overfed...
