dekza Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 "Speaker: Anthony Addis, Manager of Muse & Director, Brontone (UK) Jamie Kitman, Manager of OK Go & President, The Hornblow Group (USA) Moderator: Bill Werde, Editor in Chief, Billboard (USA) With record labels just keeping abreast of sound recording usage and sales, tracking artists' presence is more challenging than ever for managers. Experienced managers unveiled which sectors -- records, digital, sync or live -- and platforms are essential to artists' success, and how to monetise them" A bit boring, but whatever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trilateral_Symmetry_Com'n. Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 TBH, I'm not bothering to watch this, but I do really appreciate that you've posted it. At least it's not the same-old, same-old sort of link! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dee3Dee Posted February 5, 2011 Share Posted February 5, 2011 I found this to be interesting. All that talk about remaining in control, and the effect that money has, losing fans etc. was interesting when looking back at The Resistance Tour.

Dee3Dee Posted February 5, 2011 Share Posted February 5, 2011 I loved Anthony's answer to the last question. He was talking about creating THE experience for fans, and that they tend to pay more attention to bad comments on this very messageboard, to try and understand why that particular fan didn't get THE experience. They've definitely got the right idea, but damnit, it wasn't very noticeable during this last tour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a-museing Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 It's interesting to see that management look on here even if the band don't. I wonder if that's how the setlist polls came about. I take it he was talking about Citizen Erased or Bliss at the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shame they chose to ignore them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buxomflirter Queef Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 If only we had this clip during all the beef when people were saying 'don't say bad things about muse, it will make them cry :'(' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JessicaSarahS Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 They've definitely got the right idea, but damnit, it wasn't very noticeable during this last tour. This may reflect the fact that the label has more sway than the manager(?) at that point in time. Everything than Anthony said was 100% spot on from my perspective as a fan. Sounds like he is dealing with a lot of pressure and bullshit from the record company. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JessicaSarahS Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 I would say that the reason is that the band has more sway than the management. While this is true, I am sure it's a combination of the label telling the band what they want to hear and swaying them away from what they should be doing.

I haven't seen the whole thing yet, are we talking about concerts? Because I'm pretty sure the label has nothing to do with the concerts or what Muse plays whatsoever. If they did, I doubt Muse would sign a new contract with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dee3Dee Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 They have said on several occasions that they have a lot of control over what they do. At the end of the day, Muse are the ones who write the setlists. Anthony can only report back what is being said here, and give them some pointers. The fact that the band chose to ignore setlists polls etc. is more a sign of them being lazy than anything else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JessicaSarahS Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 ^^ True. The setlist polls had great intentions, but ultimately failed around the world. But I do have to say that I've been privileged to receive a rarity at nearly every show I've attended. My only complaint would be the length of the setlist. They could play a lot more songs. A lot!

A lot! agreed on the length, I saw Muse at the Big Day Out and on The Resistance tour and the setlist length was pretty much the same at both shows, it was the only disappointment in what was otherwise 2 wonderful shows by the boys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
