Tom DeLonge of BLINK-182 and ANGELS & AIRWAVES was asked in a recent interview about his thoughts on Spotify and similar streaming services.
His response was,
Spotify I don’t really support it as an artist, because why would someone buy a record if they can spend the same money and get every record. I don’t really support it, but I do support the evolving nature of technology. It’s going to help push everything forward, so I always support new ideas but as an artist I can’t really support it. But I do know why people like it and I’m happy with that, but I don’t want to put my records on there.
