It's a tough business; and to me, Loverboy were smart AND talented. No one-hit-wonder syndrome--they have some great songs. The bands that get into the music blindly are usually the ones who end up signing away their master copies, get in to bad record deals, etc. Good for them of having a plan and not running themselves heavily in debt or taking terrible deals because they were desperate.

John Roberts did a good job projecting his own BS - even back in the day! "Selling out? $ is what makes every successful business go round, including music. Loverboy played it smart to devise a strategic business plan, creative enough to write hit songs & extremely lucky to hit it big globally. Well done!

Selling out? Making a plan in the music industry keeps your music your own and stops people from taking advantage of you. Awesome attempt by JD Roberts to sabotage our own.

I was never a big fan of this type of music, but you have to admit, they had a handful of pretty catchy songs and they sounded great live.

Had connections and financing before forming the band. Do interviews and tell a hard luck rags to riches story, slip little Canadian Jew feet into custom made shoes. It was the same story for almost every band that made it... Almost every one. I like Loverboy, I've worked with them many years ago. But don't be fooled, you're either well funded, initiated and connected or you're a sex slave but nobody ever got discovered for their talent and made famous because a company thought they were just so nifty

Probably but at the same time they aren't going to sign anyone with zero talent either. These days of course they would. I know what you mean though.

@@AnxietyMentor I never said they weren't talented. I'm saying the process by which real success was possible was also misrepresented to all who also had the raw talent to do everything and more than many of the ones who were allowed to succeed. Tavistock was the beginning of it all and while real talent was required somewhere in the chain, like the Wrecking Crew and the rest of the real writers, studio talent and even deadringer musoids doing live shows for the either lazy and privileged or completely incompetent personage of various signed entities, no one got a chance unless they were part of the system. Jews and Jesuits... The true "Earth pigs". The sun is the "son" and there is no lie in nature.
