Mötley Crüe bassist Nikki Sixx has shared his thoughts about the Rolling Stone’s article titled “The End of Owning Music: How CDs and Downloads Died”.
On Twitter, a fan asked him:
“Do you agree with Rolling Stone’s article on the album, as a musical platform, is dead?”
Nikki responded:
“By 2020 90% of all music will be consumed by streaming. Times change, you change with it or get left behind.
I am a streaming addict. More music,more new music. Easy to get anywhere anytime. But I miss the artwork.“
On Rolling Stone’s article, Waterloo owner John Kunz talked:
“After 30 years of CDs, a lot of people are moving on from that format. Whether they’re going back to vinyl, or streaming, people are selling off those CDs.”
Jack White said:
“I definitely believe the next decade is going to be streaming plus vinyl – streaming in the car and kitchen, vinyl in the living room and the den. Those will be the two formats. And I feel really good about that.“
