Nile frontman Karl Sanders always seemed to me like he was a pretty straightforward guy that knew what was up, and he has proved he is in an interview with the Syracuse Music Examiner. When asked how he felt the Internet has changed music, he responded basically by saying it has but it isn't a bad thing. Sanders talks about how bands and labels need to adapt to the changes and just go with it because they'll sink if they don't. Seemingly silly advice, but he has a point- everyone needs to keep their finger on the pulse or else they're sunk!
"The Internet has changed the entire music business. For those of us that were around before the age of the Internet, it's a completely different world. None of the old rules apply anymore; it's change-and-adapt or die. A lot of people have to change their way of thinking or the way to make a dollar to make a living and keep going. There are no more CD sales. There are some, and it's getting harder to make a living on tour with the rising cost of touring. Everything goes up except the amount of money that we get paid."
