Alice Cooper talked recently with the Marietta Daily Journal about how hard it has to be for a young band today to make money in the business. "I feel sorry if I were a young band right now. I don't know how you make any money with records. It's just almost impossible. So I tell young bands if I were you, I would be the best live band in your state. That's what you got to go for, because they can't take that away from you. The recording part, though, I just don't see how anyone can make money."
