What’s the best way to acquire new fans and keep existing ones? Don’t piss them off. It’s as simple as that. I wish I had thought of that topic but someone else has. MuchMusic out of Canada (FUSE is their American channel) has a blog post on that very topic. They name the top 10 and really target the big artists but its good to know. I’d say its common sense. My favorite is “Don’t Be Metallica.” In another post I’ll go into ways for a smaller artist not to irritate their fans.
