«…since you oppose against corporate music industry. |
Still, you’re on a |
major label, and your clips get shown on MTV, at least, here in Europe. |
So, we would like to have an explanation on that» |
«A friend of mine told me, he saw a video of you on MTV. |
And I just want to ask |
you: Are they so stupid in their minds, because you are, you have so against |
MTV, or they just don’t know it or what is the reason? |
««Yes, we have a video on MTV» |
«You shit on MTV, they show your video clip on MTV. |
I don’t understand why you |
do that» |
«Is showing your video on MTV not a big compromise? |
««Yes.» |
«I don’t think you are a hypocrite, but I saw you on MTV last night. |
How you think about that? |
««He says — you say you don’t think we’re hypocrites? |
He doesn’t think we’re hypocrites, but he saw us on MTV last night |
…is that the same MTV that’s over here? |
««Don't you think you’re oversimplilfying some messages too much? |
««Yes. |
Next. |
««Um, if you guys are against the music business, why do you have a video on MTV? |
«Well, look, many people would argue that we’re hypocrites, but-» |
«You're saying music has no meaning. |
If you’re just going to sucks-up to the |
music industry, why do you do what you do? |
And I’m glad you do it, |
but what-how can you reconcile it? |
««All right, you guys, say you’re on Nettwerk, which is an alternative label. |
Well -» |
«Nettwerk» |
«Yeah, well, is this, okay, now, it’s an independent label. |
Why are you guys… |
lying? |
««You have similar views to Fugazi. |
Yet, Fugazi can play their shows for $ 5, |
and they have limits on their prices. |
I’d like to know why I had to pay $ 14. |
50 to come see-» |
«You have all these anti-corporate statements, and anti-oppression statements |
in your music. |
I really like what you’re doing a lot. |
But I have one question: |
I went to see Fugazi a couple months ago, and their show was five bucks. |
Why are your shirts twenty bucks? |
What are you doing with that money? |
That’s outrageous! |
««We're not Fugazi. |
We’re- I mean- we’re not- we’re not Fugazi |
We’re not — we’re not- we’re not Fugazi |
We’re- I mean- we’re not- we’re not Fugazi |
We’re not — we’re not — we’re |
They’re way harder than we are.» |
