The reasons for this, as Ramone explained, are that big-name drummers and acoustic rooms are very expensive—proving that the business of music is actually business in general, coming down to dollars and cents.
With sonority at its peak, Ramone advises young artists to be brief on their demos, adhering to what he called "the 10-minute ability to concentrate." He believes that "three songs tell the story, not brutal but concise"—pointing out that the radio never plays a long song.
In Ramone's opinion, "understanding the nature of writing is 90 percent of making a record better." Musical performance and composition skills are, of course, nothing new to the legendary music mogul.
