Check out the Fear Factory Online Squad at [link] and watch out for the new album ARCHTYPE coming April 20th 2004!

Loder: What do you make of the current state of the music business, and the illegal downloading the record companies say is siphoning off their profits?

Keenan: There is still a future with music, because people want music. But I don't know if the record labels will be involved. The panic you're seeing now is basically coming from the labels trying to figure out how they're gonna monopolize and manipulate and suck the blood out of artists anymore.

Loder: Are you opposed to file-sharing?

Keenan: Not necessarily. But I wish people would realize what an artist normally makes on the sale of an album. Nowadays, you have to sell, like, half a million or a million records just to break even. And how many bands sell a million records? Not that many.

Loder: Then there are the acts that get signed to, like, $60 million record deals ...

Keenan: Well, I've never gotten that deal. I'm not Mariah Carey.

Loder: Did you ever see her movie, " Glitter"?

Keenan: No.

Loder: It's fabulous, you've really gotta see it. It's right up there with " Battlefield Earth."

Keenan: "Battlefield Earth" is the pinnacle. It's a pure film, pure art. You can put it on, and within seconds of having put it on, you forget you're watching a movie and you walk off and make toast or something. Nothing memorable happens. It's just ... two hours are all of a sudden just gone. Which is not like a movie like "The Postman," which has a whole different effect. That one stretches time. You're like, Oh, man, I'm getting older as I'm watching this. I've missed three birthdays.

Kennan: I think people in general have neglected to learn about history. But then it hasn't really been a focus of our government to make us an educated people. Just in general, any government throughout history hasn't really wanted its people to be educated, because then they couldn't control them as easily. If the education of our kids comes from radio, television, newspapers — if that's where they get most of their knowledge from, and not from the schools, then the powers that be are definitely in charge, because they own all those outlets.

Loder: OK, on that note, do you have anything to say to your fans?

Keenan: Turn off your television. Go do something.

Woops, you're banned. Well.. best of luck.

*dxd would like to thank you for watching him and wishes to express how much he loves you with this simple emoticon:

Please show your love for him by buying him a plane ticket to Mexico so he can escape the ATF for another year.
