It is true that many people say, you should make music because you love it. And not for the money. I will say this. Yes, to a certain point... yes. You should make music because you love it, and also for the creative side of it. But fact is, you need a lot of money to make music, and to keep a band going. You have lots of gear you need to buy, gear that needs to be repaired and so on... Not to say when you are touring, it becomes super hard with no money. And no matter how little you may think you need, or how much you think you can handle. You still need a lot of money.
I know that for myself. Sleepless nights, cold, hungry, tired, dirty, working super hard and at times not getting paid. Another one is money for petrol, which you need everyday. You name it. However when you are in a band that makes good money, or enough. (Which by the way doesn't happen very often!) You feel happier. You feel respected and appreciated. So you play better shows, and create better music. My point is... i personally don't do it for money. As i mentioned before, i did it many times without money or very very little. But money is super important. No doubt about it.
