Filter singer claims Fans are not ready to pay for music he said during interview

Frontman Richard Patrick claimed:

"Fans don’t really want to pay for music, and we’re trying to adjust to zero record budgets," he says. "I think we’re all trying to figure out a way to get the exposure that we need, and so some of us are just going and doing big huge cockamamie stunts to get press."
Patrick makes it clear he’s not talking about the band where he once played guitar, NINE INCH NAILS, which recently made its new album available completely free via download.
"I’m not saying Trent did that, I’m not saying RADIOHEAD did that," he said. "The majority of my money comes from the fact that I’ve written some hits and those get played on the radio all the time. Everything else is apparently for free."
