I think that it’s entirely up to them. Some people just make music because they can’t not make music; it’s absolutely inbuilt into them. Some people make music and like other people to hear it, some people do it and don’t want anybody else to hear it, like writing a diary. There are people who write songs at home but wouldn’t want to share them with anybody.
There are other people for whom making music is a means to an end. You don’t get the feeling that David lee Roth has a burning creative passion in his soul. Let’s face it Kiss, as a band, did not start out because they were desperate to communicate their view of the world and their personal angst to the rest of the planet. They wanted to get out there and be a fire-breathing rock and roll band because they wanted loads of women and loads of cash.
Both of them are perfectly valid views of the world. But I don’t think it’s up to anybody to say that band’s shouldn’t be thinking about business plans because some people will and some people won’t.
