What some of you also know, especially those who have worked with me, I'm a firm believer that musicians need to take the time to not only get a better sense of the business side of the music business, but actually treat what they do like a business.
Today, Nikki Sixx shared a link to an article/interview with him and Mötley Crüe s manager Allen Kovac that discusses how Mötley Crüe went from being a notoriously messy metal band to a business powerhouse.
Looking to Mötley Crüe for advice about business might sound a little like asking Warren Buffett for tips on headbanging. Are there really lessons to be learned from the band who, in their 1980s heyday, were as well known for their over-the-top debauchery as for their music? “Looking from the outside,” says bassist and co-founder Nikki Sixx, “I totally understand why people would think there’s no way this band should even still be here.”
