If you like a band and their music, support them. Simple as that. Come out to every show that you can, buy their CDs and T-shirts, spread the word, get your friends to come out with you when your favorite band comes to your town, recruit new fans, join/start a fan club/site, etc. They are out there living like gypsies, eating horribly, sleeping in terrible and unspeakable places, living out in the world far from home, working cruddy jobs, etc., all to get that music out to you, the fan.
But don’t feel sorry for them. They choose that life everyday. It comes with the job and is indicative of the passion they put in the music you love. All you have to do, as a fan, is support them. Buy what you love. Then, regardless of what Johnny Cougar or that cougar Stevie Nicks say about the destructive influence of the Internet on the industry, the music business isn’t a hopeless cause for the musician.
So go to the ND Store, or your favorite band’s online store/merch table today and show the love. We appreciate it and you are doing a great thing. Fleetwood Mac and that Jack and Diane guy will be just fine… The Internet isn’t the monster they say it is. In fact, it may just save the band you love.

The Silver Beast. Legendary to a status worthy of a Dio song.
She carries us, shelters us, and delivers us. She rides on the winds. Has traversed the continent. She speeds across deserts and swamps and concrete jungles alike. She’s seen miles and miles. She’s roared through hurricanes. She’s seen battles. She’s seen gunfire and fistfights. She’s seen raunchy backseat action and hosted grand all night binge fests as well as some of the greatest reflection time ever known to us mortal men of rock. She rarely complains. I once considered her my home, even when not being “on the road”.
She’s done more to bring the rock of New Disaster to the masses than any promoter could ever do…
We call her Babylon.
