Lucky 13

I don’t really believe that luck has a big part in the success of performing artists. Artists, in my opinion, get on by whether or not they have talent, and not just by luck. Where luck comes in is when they go to sell their records, because you don’t know whether or not your album is going to be successful or not. It’s not like you just go into the studio and your album is an immediate success when it gets released. There have been a few albums like that, but that’s beside the point. Some of the artists that have gotten on by talent include Bon Jovi, Led Zepplin, and many others. You probably wouldn’t find too many artists that have gotten on by luck. It’s just something that you have, or something you don’t. It’s not like you just know a producer in a studio and they’re like, “Oh, you’re in because I know you.” There are maybe a few artists that maybe have gotten on by luck, but it’s not likely. If you think about how many bands and artists are out there, there’s maybe only about 5% percent that have gotten on by luck. So what I’m really trying to say here is that even though luck has a place in the music industry, it comes into play with selling records and not with getting into the scene. People could argue with this, but this is just my opinion on the matter. It matters if you’re actually a good band or not mostly when you’re trying to get out there.
