More bands than you would ever care to imagine. The record industry is full of seriously messed up people.The band I was in in the late 80's was really doing well, with a large following. Then the record company stepped in, made tons of promises, threw huge parties....and then proceeded to turn every member of an awesome band into enemies, by telling each of us we needed to be the leader. It got so bad that a couple of us completely quit music for close to 20 years because we were so disgusted with the entire process. We also had front row seats to many awesome bands having to go the same route. The only thing the record companies care about is their bank accounts and using talented people to fill those accounts. The truly messed up thing is that it all happens so fast. You really don't realize what is happening until it has already happened.

Precisely. This is why it is so important to be true to your principles. It’s as much their fault as the execs. Don’t give in. Give up the idea of fame, and money, when you are forced to make a choice like this. No excuses. They were so unique, so original. No one gave a damn about her looks or her weight, in fact, except, of course, for the tone deaf executives, who still, to this day, believe they have their finger on the pulse of the average consumer, fan, and audience. They never have and never will. They simply reflect their own twisted values, onto us, pretending we are the mindless idiots, they pretend we are.

Ben Bossi, in the midst of his hearing loss, played a show with Romeo Void for my former-Partner's last wish. Louie Beeson was my Partner for many years. He was also Romeo Void's live soundman for practically the length of their existence. Louie's wish was to mix one show with Romeo Void at the club where he had been employed in San Francisco, called Slim's. At that point, Louie had lost almost his entire vision but he was a trooper and his ears were magnificent!. Ben followed through and I'll never forget Ben for doing that! Louie died in late October of 1992.

It’s on them, in the end, for compromising. It always is. Blame is useless, if you don’t start with yourself. Lots of bands refused to compromise during this time, like The Smiths, The Replacements and so many more, and it eventually led to the complete destruction of the corporate music cabal, in 1991-92 with the success of Nirvana. It’s up to us, to stick to our guns, and be strong enough to take the hits that come. Some of us, won’t reap the rewards, but it is worth it, for those who will, and because of the principle. It’s the right thing to do. Their own sax player, buys into the b.s. fed to them by idiots in suits who know nothing about music fans, and allowed himself to give a shit, compromise his own integrity, because some nerd, like Clive Davis, walked out on their performance. It’s the truth, we all know, but won’t admit, because we are slaves to the money and the fame, not to the integrity of the product itself. That’s their weakness. We can choose to be stronger than this. Many bands were.

I bought it solely because of their name--RomeoVoid is a REALLY cool name. I started looking them up after falling in love with their music, but I couldn't find much. I've been holding onto them as my special little band no one else knows about. I didn't know they were as popular as they were. Sorry to see the sax player couldn't be in the performance, but HOLY HECK he is sexy!! He also has great taste in clothing! Mmm, cute guy with a good personality and musical talent.

There was just something about her that was a wonderful and magnify! She's the type of personality that impacts people around her with her positive vibes. The icing on the cake is her voice.

I love @ 8:15 where Frank really gives them a dressing down. A large part of the music industry today is all about money with most artists treated as an afterthought.

Unfortunately, Romeo Void came alive at the exact moment that music video was becoming an important marketing tool. If they came along even 3 years earlier, would have likely been quite a bit more successful, because looks suddenly became a much larger part of what an artist had to offer. Artists were starting to be made or broken by the success of their videos, does anyone believe that Madonna would have had the same career if she came along 5 years earlier, sadly so much is about right place, right time

Exactly. MTV was in its early days, and radios stars like Christopher Cross, who were stars in 1980 dropped off the earth by 1982 because of video. Terribly unfair

Here in Brisvegas at the time the only radio to play RV was 4ZZZ an alternative radio station. The thing with radio is you can't see the band so by the time I actually saw the video to Never I was in love with the song and the vid just gave it a really edgy vibe.

+Darren Breton That's just an industry marketing thing----once again, your looks don't have a damn thing to do with your talent. I've sen and heard way too many singers with good looks who couldn't sing worth a damn, no matter how good they looked. Either you got the talent, or you ain't---that's what it boils down to. Plus there have been other singers who were big and stil lbecause stars--liek Aratha Franklin, Jil lScott, and now Adele, who's extremely huge everywhere---her definitely isn't stopping her.

rainmaker690 Adele has undergone a tremendous makeover that her wealth now affords, so she's trying not to be so enormous. Moreover, it's not really the size alone that may negatively affect a female artist's marketability. Ann Wilson and Adele both have attractive faces. Aretha Franklin was in her own category as a black soul singer, and other major African-American talents like Ella Fitzgerald were hardly beauty queens, although if Aretha had Tina Turner's looks she would have been even more unstoppable. Debora suffered from being both obese and, to put it kindly,"plain." Her face was unmarketable from the beginning.
