Get a job if you want money.
Having a band is not a job.When people will realize it? :evil:
It's a bit too simple.

Playing for money is a wrong reason but to accomplish some great work you need money and all...

And playing in a band is a WORK of course... The albums don't make themself alone it's due to hard working. There is not only talent!!

I don't think Metallica could've make their Master of Puppets if they were working from 9 to 5 in a factory :lol:

I've not known this to be the case, at least not with any bootleg I've ever encountered. The bootleggers don't have the master tapes, they have to take the audio from the originals. So at best it will sound the same (exact copy of an original CD), at worst it will be a crappy vinyl transfer or taken from MP3s floating around the net. I don't see how a boot could possibly sound better.

I guess a boot could sound better than a remastered issue if the remastering was botched or brickwalled to shit. But no bootleg is going to sound better than an original pressing.
