celeb pages

MickeyBreezy	Date: February 2, 2007 @ 2:14 AM you know how myspace has pages for movies and tv shows, and basically any celebrity you can think of thats under 35? what would it take to get celebs on DM, is myspace paying them or something? i think so many people would see how much better DM is than myspace if we had some real star power.
pog	Date: February 2, 2007 @ 2:35 AM ... the only trouble with that is most people in the famous limelight are signed by the RIA to tha A. I really don't think they'd be that popular around these parts... no where near as popular as the regular DMusic users like yaself.
Rodrica	Date: February 2, 2007 @ 4:50 AM They may not be popular on this site...but they would sure as hell increase our visitor numbers if they showed up on the search engines...and famous names always lead to more investment. The truth is, the publicity machine and the huge investment behind these people ensures that anyone who gives them a mention will benefit - it's like free advertising! There's nothing stopping anyone here from reviewing their work in the forums or news pages and uploading a pic of them
LiQuidMetamo...	Date: February 3, 2007 @ 11:00 AM I saw that the 'Instant Star' people had set up an account here (Instant Star is a successful prime time show here in Canada and is also popular with teens in the USA). Alexz JOhnson plays Jude Harrison, a teen starlet who wins a tv competition to become an instant star (has that avril lavigne kind of sound and attitiude). http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0420416/ http://instantrockstar.dmusic.net/ (although, no music is posted...and I'm not really a big fan either...) Myspace is just another gimmicky way of self promotion for major artists who have some minimum wage stooge replying to the crazy stalkers, the whole thing is another fake facade and people trying to look 'hip' to the teen audience.
MickeyBreezy	Date: February 5, 2007 @ 11:59 PM you know, i totally forgot about the whole RIAA thing, but the artists could just turn off their download like they do already on myspace, and it would be the same thing. there are alot of signed artists out there who dont agree w/ the RIAA, so i dont think a huge problem would exist. my question is, does myspace pay them to be on there you think, i mean really, if you're famous, you dont need a myspace for promotion, i can turn on the tv and see them right now.
HenriRoger	Date: February 6, 2007 @ 5:18 AM If your famous you might not want to let indie artists take all the place on the web ? Who thought that there was so much unknown good music all around the world and that so many people would listen to it ?
pog	Date: February 6, 2007 @ 5:26 PM I agree that it would be awesome if some famous musicians would drop by and grace us with their presence. However, if it were to happen, a lot of labels who are associated with the big 5 would prevent their artists from using their correct names and/or not allow them to post any music because their control the copyrights and the artists often dont. It's a sad thing that most big artists today have no control over their own music... may as well sell your soul to the devil. At least he pays well.
LiQuidMetamo...	Date: February 6, 2007 @ 5:52 PM This site and with it's affiliation with the anti RIAA site is aimed at the independent musician and there's not much in it for the majors. Purevolume has a lot of celeb accounts as well as Myspace if 'celebrity status' interests you.
thelorinator	Date: May 15, 2007 @ 8:30 PM i can try get rockstars over here they do listen to me haha
SimonWaldram	Date: May 17, 2007 @ 6:40 PM I think one of the main differences between DM and MySpace is that DMusic has a real living a breathing community. You actually have to put the time and effort in on here to be part of what's happening and reap the benefits, whereas a MySpace page is more just a free advertising page to anyone who happens to come across it. Following on from what Pog wrote above, most famous musicians would not to be allowed to put any demos or unrealesed stuff on here anyway, so it would just be clips and streams (no downloads) of songs to promote albums available on a major label. I'm proud to be part of a music community that's growing and developing outside of the mainstream. To hell with celebs! Having said that, I would like to see a few more of my favourite indie artists on here. Next time I order some CDs from Sexton Ming I think I'll mention this place to him
Orion	Date: May 18, 2007 @ 6:37 AM Fuck "MySpace" and Fuck RIAA and can i get a Hell Yeah indie Musicians/DMusic!
PrincessTast...	Date: May 18, 2007 @ 11:41 AM Whoooooooooooooooooooooooooo!
hantu	Date: May 18, 2007 @ 12:07 PM I'd rather fuck DMusic, i just don't know MySpace or RIAA well enough besides, me and DM just click! :m ouse:
shutyatrap	Date: May 18, 2007 @ 8:06 PM Sham you are a whore!
fanch-t	Date: May 27, 2007 @ 11:22 PM Ummm, Halaka has been here for years. Don't you think it's about time you start to take adavantage of our celeberity? Three cheers for whores! I mean, for god sakes, we have played an honest to god live show at the Unitarian Church in Salisbury, MD
johnnygnote	Date: June 8, 2007 @ 9:39 PM How bout Paris Hiltin then all her Paris-Ites would be checking out the site, or maybe Britonme Spears and we could have a bunch of confused young rock star mother in and out of rehab.. Or maybe.... On a more serious note another OMS that I am a member of has several well known (Famous Star Like People) on their site and most of them are pretty respectable respecred Musicians in their field. How to entice that sort of person to be a part of DM is the 60 thousand dollar question HMMMMM.....,,
