Instead of freaking out over this royalty check thing, have you guys ever thought that Roddy's annual take was so low because Erik Rutan has the songwriting credits? (I'm not 100% sure of this, but Rutan definitely seems to be the core of that band.)
Just because someone plays on a record doesn't mean they get an equal cut of the royalties.
And while I very much agree that Roddy is an amazing musician, I am with Josh about the fact that skill does not entitle someone to money. I mean it sucks that talentless metalcore hacks make a killing while Roddy gets a pittance, but any Death Metal musician should know from the start that actually making decent money off his music requires more than just skill, but also luck, business sense and the ability to write good songs.
I agree with you Anthony, You're probably right about Rutan getting more money.
Now if Josh had come into this thread saying what you did rather than basically saying that key musicians in death metal DON'T deserve to make a good living is lame. Yeah, everyone knows it's not a good way to make a living and that it's difficult, no shit. That doesn't make it right.
You're almost saying people playing pop music actually deserve to be making millions of dollars.
yeah I agree that it majorly sucks for Roddy and is unfair. I think it has always pretty much been this way: artistic talent is overlooked for mediocre schlock that can sell popularly.
