Spotify Is Down and Musicians Aren’t Happy

Spotify is currently down for millions of users attempting to access the app on iOS. The app is not loading, and fans and musicians have been active on social media voicing their anger - #Spotify is trending on Twitter.

It seems that iPhone users are experiencing difficulties right now.

While all of this is happening, several musicians have joined the social media discussion and raised interesting points.

Very sad to hear Spotify's down today, and that thousands of fans have no access to the music they love. If anyone's looking for a quick alternative, I wholly recommend buying music instead of renting it. Works for me!

Since #Spotify seems to be down today, can I suggest an alternative of actually buying a CD or record and letting the musicians, and not just the Spotify board of directors, have some money. Given that we can't gig in the pandemic, it would really help. https://t.co/jxNxinYLzH

#Spotify down? BUY PHYSICAL COPIES. It’s that simple. 🤷🏻‍♀️ https://t.co/VwD4Yo8h4C

Spotify is down... just as well most of you support musicians by BUYING RECORDS (or CDs/mp3s, we ain't fussy) and can keep on rocking along as we approach the weekend, right? Right?🤔 While you muse on that, here's a track via YouTube:https://t.co/3Embg762rl

Should we as music fans go back to CDs and vinyl or do you think streaming is here to say?

Metallica’s and James Hetfield pay tribute to Ennio Morricone:

Metallica has used the composer’s song “The Ecstasy of Gold” as their intro show for their lives shows since 1983.

"We've been using the song since 83, 84. But it only became our fixed intro because our first intro idea was terrible" "A heart beating getting faster and faster and faster, and then we would start the show" "Our first manager said, 'This sucks'. You can do better than that" So he suggested 'The Ecstasy Of Gold' to us, and it was one of the best things he has ever done! I think that was the only thing we kept from him, wise advice "

7 years before this film festival, Metallica recorded the track "The Ecstasy Of Gold" The song was released on the tribute album "We All Love Ennio Morricone" This tribute album also features tracks recorded by Bruce Springsteen, Roger Waters, among other stars.
