akimo Posted March 13, 2010 Share Posted March 13, 2010 In a very recent blog, MG complained that he can't afford to write the kind of music he wants to because he can't afford to add all the instruments he needs. My take on this is that it's a crime against music. MG isn't a random rock musician, the guy is creating art. Sometimes artists need benefactors. Pure commercial revenue doesn't do it. I'm writing this to see if anyone else would be interested in making donations (directly to MG) so that he can create the kind of album that's in his head. If this is a stupid idea, I'll drop it. But if enough folks are interested (please show your interest by responding to this thread), I'll organize something to make it happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Computer Posted March 13, 2010 Share Posted March 13, 2010 (edited) It's a stupid idea because it's going to require thousands of dollars. And I highly doubt that Matt would even consider accepting such donations. Edited March 13, 2010 by Computer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Audio of Being Posted March 13, 2010 Share Posted March 13, 2010 I find it a stupid idea as well, some of us just don't have the money to donate, and the cost alone would be really high. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gomo Posted March 14, 2010 Share Posted March 14, 2010 (edited) He'll make due just fine. Buying albums and concert tickets are donation enough, ya know? Edited March 14, 2010 by Gomo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

akimo Posted March 14, 2010 Author Share Posted March 14, 2010 Okay, that one was a loser. To make matters worse, it's not thousands of dollars, it's tens of thousands of dollars. Idea officially dropped Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
