Chris sits down with Queensrÿche guitarist Michael Wilton, “The Whip,” for a raw discussion about the band’s experience with the now-defunct PledgeMusic platform. Wilton doesn’t hold back, detailing how the company essentially stole the fan-funded budget for their album. We dissect his full response and give you the harsh reality of what happens when crowdfunding goes wrong. This is a must-hear for any fan who ever backed an artist! Hail and Kill! Join the rebellion!
