The latest artist to hit out at the record companies is Motorhead's Lemmy who has told Metal Edge magazine that the major labels deserve their current sales woes for being so slow to adapt to the digital world. He told the mag: "It's killing itself, isn't it? I mean, they [the record companies] are too dumb to realise. I mean, it was fucking years ago that this started, and they just carried on doing what they were doing, blind to any advice, blind to any sort of evidence. They just kept on overcharging and kept on fucking people over, and now the chickens are coming home, you know? I think they're all gonna be out of business in 10 years".
