Madonna ????

[shredmonster]

She is signing a contract for $120 MILLION ???

Are you shittin' me??

Who could possibly be buying her crap ???

I know the general public is dumb but this is ridiculous. PUKE

[rjohnstone]

That's fucking stupid.
No singer is worth that much cash... sorry, but she is well beyond her prime.

Looks like the RIAA will need to sue a few more kids.

[Snoogans]

She could buy a whole busload of African kids with that....

Who cares about Madonna... She is completely irrelevant in the world of guitar music. That's like caring about rap or chinese music or something.
No offence to any asian people out there

and how relevant is guitar music in the world of music

[shredmonster]

Endrik you have a point there. Popular music anyway - pop stuff will always be crap because it has to appeal to the general idiots.

There will also be 20% of the population who are more intelectual and into the good stuff be it guitar, jazz, violin, latin stuff, whatever.

Guitar music is definately relevant in the world of music. Madonna is probably one of the best artists of her genre. Some of her music is even appealing, but other than that I couldn't care less about her or her music. The point is that this is a guitar forum for people to discuss "Artists and Their Gear." That's all.

I believe the deal includes concerts and merchandising revenue. She still sells out a lot of concerts so this may not be as bad a deal as you would think. And even at 50 or however old she is, I would still take her "gear" over Paris Hilton's

That's what I think.... we don't really know what he contract looks like but if the label gets their cut from concerts and merch they gonna make ridiculous amounts of money.... in that case 140 mil went into a right place... they will get it back multiple times

+1! Paris has no "gear", she's as flat as a board.

BTW - She is the biggest selling female artist of all time (worldwide sales). And she sells out every concert, so that does count for something.

Friggen' puke you guys. The bitch can hardly sing without lots of reverb.

I can't believe people like that shit. Nothing but POP music for the untrained ear. Yuck.

[Endrik]

dude, there's a lot of great pop out there, the best songwriters/producers/musicians in the world are involved in pop music

you don't have to train your ears to understand what a good song is

and it's a bigger challenge to write a simple 3 min pop song wich everyone would like than doing a 30 min epic wankfest and claiming it an art

[shobet]

She's got a big wallet and tiny hands, ergo she'd make my dick look enormous!
