Los Angeles is packed with people who will ask for this sort of thing and I think my view of this used to be different, before I lived here. To me, it seems like it would make sense if it was for a really good friend or someone you really admired who didn't have a record deal or maybe if it was going to be one hell of a party. But it kind of pisses me off that huge corporations like Sony will try to get cool people to work for them for nothing. These sorts of gigs are not good exposure, in my opinion, because the unpaid folks are usually mostly background and it is not like anyone is going to be like, wow, I recognize you from the Rob Zombie vid. Would you want to appear in a music video for free?
