[atlantaprog] Re: The Problem With Music

And why does this band need new personal gear?  Seems like they'd have that before they got in a position to be signed. 

I can imagine young. impressionable musicians jumping at the chance to ditch their "adequate" gear for new shiny toys!

Regardless of nitpicks though, the major label idea is probably not a good idea for a band, unless they are a very mainstream to begin with or on a successful indie looking to get wider promotion and/or distribution. 

For the most part, the only way a band can "succeed" in the world of the majors if they have already developed a relatively successful career on the indy circuit. Then they're in a case where the major want THEM more than they want the majors! REM is an example.
