I don't begrudge them at all for doing it. They'll play the songs live (or someone else in the masks will) and that's where their fan base has always lived. I own the albums I love on vinyl or in permanent 320 downloads. You may as well take the money now, because there's no guarantee it's coming any other way. It's no longer selling out, because the money from the music itself is gone. All that's left is gate receipts and t-shirts. And that fucking sucks! But it's reality for now.
Wonder if they're going the KISS route and going to have different people in the suits like a traveling show eventually ?
