RE: singer (Sprungtown)
So I saw this ad, and my band is in a position that a dedicated singer might be a good idea.
So I replied.

Original post:

Been Singing my whole life. Im interested in Singing just about anything, prefer grunge rock. Eager to try out. Thanks

My first message :
How old are you? Have you been in a rock band before? Do you have any recordings of you singing?

His reply:
I have been in several bands around town for the past 10 years. Im 33. I look in my late 20's very athletic.

I played lead guitar in those prior bands. Im interested in singing this go round.
If you need soundbites i can record some or id be happy to rehearse some in time with you.
Let me know if that works. Thanks

And he sent selfie's... 2 of em. Big muscular guy.

My reply:

Well I did ask for recordings in my initial message and its kinda creepy that you sent me selfies lol.

His reply:

If this message was meant to insult me your crawling up the wrong tree bub. Im a hell of a nice guy lets try and keep it that way. I took a couple photos because in my time of recruiting singers i met a hell of a lot of good voices and no stage presence. I was simply letting you see the photos of me so you could see if im a visual fit. I also said i could record something. Goddamn are you just wanting your little f**k head ripped off right now?

No pictures of him on stage, no recordings - move on! That's what I've learned.
"Been in several bands the last 10 years" = haven't lasted long enough to get out of the basement/garage in anything.
"I played lead guitar in those prior bands. Im interested in singing this go round" = my guitar playing sucks, hoping my vocals don't.

Oh, now Glennie is gonna get all POed because this is music talk in the general chat section!

That's a real singer's attitude, so he's got the personality to be a frontman if his voice can stay in key

I think Mike is probably pretty close.

No onstage pictures, didn't bother to just do a quick recording and send it, if he was a good guitar player he'd probably be still at it, plus the obvious attitude...

time to move on.
