OZZY OSBOURNE/Ex-ROB ZOMBIE Bassist Interviewed At EPIPHONE REVOLVER GOLDEN GODS AWARDS

May 7, 2009

OZZY OSBOURNE/ex-ROB ZOMBIE bassist Rob "Blasko" Nicholson was interviewed by Eric Blair of "The Blairing Out With Eric Blair Show" on the "black carpet" of last month's (April 7) Epiphone Revolver Golden Gods Awards at Club Nokia in downtown Los Angeles. Watch the chat below.

Nicholson in 2007 launched a new company called Hard Market Authority. He is a co-owner of Mercenary Management, which represents IN THIS MOMENT and INTRONAUT, among others. Hard Market Authority is a sub-division of Mercenary Management, Inc. focused on underground, signed or unsigned bands and musicians motivated to take the next step in their career but that currently feel lost and directionless. Blasko previously said, "I receive many inquiries from bands looking for management. More times than not, soliciting and/or hiring a manager is not the answer. To me, it often feels like the band is making a decision out of desperation due to a lack of progress. If you feel that your career has hit a wall, then possibly the answer lies in consulting with someone who has answers to your questions, as well as advice to help inspire motivation and momentum. Knowledge is power and that is the purpose of HMA. No one can guarantee success, and anyone who claims they can is full of shit. I can only provide valuable information from an experienced perspective, and the outcome of what you do with that info will be based on your own drive and determination. If you take your career seriously and are hungry for success, then what I have to offer may be for you. The bottom line is the music business is still a business. Music is simply the product that is being sold. As a musician you know what you are selling, but do you feel confident that you have what it takes to sell it?"
