Let me throw in my four cents... As I have discovered, being a Tech fan isn't just listening to his music. It seems as if listening to Tech is more of a lifestyle or a hobby.
Back in the day, my friend picked up AP and we were hooked. Then he picked up Anghellic like a day later, and if what I was before was "hooked", this is the equivalent of floppin around on the boat while the motherfucker ripped the hook out of my mouth and kicked me into a bucket leaving nothing but slime and scales behind.
I borrowed the AP DVD, and guess what... It seems Tech isn't only the greatest rapper ever, but he's also one of the coolest people I've seen sinse Corey Feldman. The dude's kickin' with white people, black people, spanish... Even some dead chick with an upside down head! Now that's fuckin' acceptance!
Before the whole FTI thing, I borrowed both cd's and copied them to my XBox hard drive so I could hear them whenever I wanted, and did just that. I listened to them whenever I wanted, which turned out to be all the time. Another thing I've noticed about Tech's music is that I like it so much that when I put it on, I just stand in front of my radio and listen to it. I NEVER do that. Listening to Tech is like watching a telivision show, only you don't give a fuck that there's no picture.
Well I bought my very own copy of AP even though I had all the tracks, and had already seen the DVD a few times. I've been waitin for Anghellic to drop now for months and can't wait to snatch that up even though I've heard the new tracks and already have the old ones. Why? Because I like Tech and Strange, and unless people like myself go inside these stores to support these artists and labels, there won't be a next album or next artist from the label. People may love Tech, and d/l the shit a hundred times over, but if the stores don't see those numbers, we won't be seeing shit from Tech... ESPECIALLY if he gets tired of the bullshit, which I'm suprised he hasn't already.
4everreign, Tech, Trav, whothefuck ever else... I'm more than happy to buy these albums and feed your children. Fuck, I'll come over and cut the shit up into tiny pieces for them if ya want, so long as you guys keep showin' the love for the fans like you have been.
"Give it to the fans they can get it all"
Thanks guys..
