Dude, you're missing the point of being a musician. I don't do it to become famous. I don't do it to please anybody but myself. I could care less about seeing my pretty face on the cover of Rolling Stone magazine. I'm a musician because I enjoy it. I get lucky and play for people once in a while for some money. If I happen to get to a studio and produce a CD which brings me fame and fortune that's okay. If not, that's okay too. Your ranting and raving about the music business is drivel to somebody like me. When I die they'll be prying my Fender Precision Bass from my rigor mortis hands. I'll have a smile on my face. Regardless of "making it" or not "making it" in the music business. The way you talk would make any prospective musician not even want to give this a try. MAKE MUSIC BECAUSE YOU LIKE TO MAKE MUSIC. THERE'S NO OTHER REASON TO DO IT. DON'T TRY TO PLEASE SOMEBODY. DON'T TRY TO SELL YOURSELF WITH A PHONY IMAGE. BECOME THE BEST MUSICAIN YOU CAN AND ENJOY WHAT YOU DO. DO IT FOR YOU FIRST AND FOREMOST AND THE HELL WITH ANYBODY'S OPINION.

I have a dumb question. What percent of people who play and sing are in it for the money. I say 70% do it because they think they will make lots of money. Or is it 99% and Bob you are a 1 percenter.

I play music because I love it. I also like to get paid for playing because it gives me a good feeling making a (partial) living doing what I love. It's not like the two points are incompatible. I also like to go out and play, just sitting in with good musicians for the fun of it. I'll also go out and play music that I'm not too crazy about if the pay is good. There are just too many variables to really nail down the reasons for playing...no right and wrong ways. It's just music and it's big and beautiful. It evokes feelings from the soul and it can also make a house payment and child support.

Love this one the most. Awesome!!

Shredd,

How is it these people can figure out how to use a spam bot for sending this crap out to forums automatically, and can't figure out how to use a spell check?

If ignorance is bliss, stupidity must be paradise!

Oh jeez! This guy's as verbose as Craig.

Dude - it's nice that you think you know a lot of stuff & all, but DO try to limit yourself to 3 or 4 paragraphs. And for the sake of us all, whether or not you limit your posts, DO try to learn the spelling & grammar stuff a little better.

I'm not trying to stifle you. Just want to be able to wade through the general concept of your thread without having to translate, or get lost in a sea of wordiness only ever rivalled by 1 guy in here.

In other words, if you can't say what you want to say in a single screen, I couldn't care less how important you might think it is, it's sh*t to me, & I move on.

And if you don't know or understand the difference between "presense" & "presents," or "couch" & "coach," you REALLY ought to limit your posts, cuz the more of that sh*t you spout, the stupider you look.

Personally, your threads look like some wannabe sat in his home office trying to see how his rather immature & uninformed thoughts would be accepted if he presented himself as some big shot great muso on the far side of the edge of stardom. (How's that for verbose?) I still don't think you know jack about sh*t, let alone jack sh*t about much of anything.

For the record, I don't use spell-check AND the letters are worn off the following characters on my keyboard - A, S, D, I, O, L, K, N, M, "," & ".", & I STILL get my message across better than many, so I get to say that stuff to ya.

Have a nice day!

(Please note that I said all of this in a single screen!)

I f*cking resent that comment Philly!

I'm FAR MORE verbose.

I don't use spell check either. But I probably should.

But uhh.... you left out the "E"

It's the most commonly used letter in the alphabet. Surely that one rubbed off first?

.

Sorry, Craig - yep, that's gone too...& the R looks a lil funky.

Makes for interesting-looking posts when I'm in my cups, though, doesn't it?

Phil,

I'm just impressed that you type that well, with so many letters missing. Clearly, I am more the three/four finger kind of typist. Should have practiced that fingering when I had the chance. But I am hella fast with only four fingers going.

But hey,

I also just realized that you type better DRUNK than Christian Lee's girlfriend does SOBER! LMAO!

.

Why, thank you, Craig, & you're right - you ARE far more verbose, but you're the only guy I could compare him to in that realm.

I, too, type mostly with 3-4 fingers. As much as I typerate, I should prolly take a course or two, but so far I guess I'm doing alright.

Oh, & Christian, while I'm at it - Craig usually does his homework & actually knows something about what he's posting. He's most often right, too, unless, of course, he's disagreeing with me!


Ya gotta admit, this is some funny shiznits!

Bandmix has a spell check ?

Aside from the fact that I'd love to get a vocal couch (maybe it could yell at the cat when it tries to use it as a scratching post).

And taking aside the Boomhauer phonetics of the ramblings. This is why I love this one the most.

It's from an old Judge Judy trick called "let's see who really wrote this letter". She asked a young man once who was denying that he wrote a letter to his girlfriend, to simply spell the word "white". His spelling, "whyte". And lo and behold, that's how it was written on the letter the girlfriend presented.

Well in this rambling which is apparently written by Christian, you'll notice somewhere about halfway down the rambling the word "go's". That word stuck out to me because #1- it's spelled wrong, and #2- it's written by Christian. It reads like this:

"Here we go …This is Christian Being Christian…lol..Just keeping it real…Ok here it go’s…. I Will Probley get in troble for this too but Oh well what’s new!!!"


Then if you go to the other thread, where it's apparently written by SOMEONE ELSE calling out Craig. Someone other than Christian mind you. It reads like this:


"This go's out to one Mr Craigmaxim,
Look brother I have read a few of your so called post about music. You may have people here fooled but not anyone of us that are REALLY in this biz. Look I was not going to even write this but when I heard what you say about the Country Music Recoding Artist Christian Lee. Well I just had to say ...WAY OUT OF BOUNDS MY BROTHER !!.

Ya see I was there in Nashville at Omni Sound Studios to see him lay down the track “ THE ONE ”
Yeah the same Track that is #3 right now on the Nashville Country Music Charts at www.reverbnation.com And #7 nationwide. Ya might wanta go check that out Mr Max... And Believe me I can go on about him! He is Real."


See the word "go's" right at the beginning of this one???

Well I certainly hope you WERE there Christian for your own recording. Which one of you did you see? Were you singing in front of a mirror?

Who REALLY wrote this? Was it Christian or the bad boy?

I mean, this is comedy at its finest. I love the part where he says, "And believe me I can go on about him! He is real". Hahahaha.. Oh this is so classic. I wish he would come back. But he'd have to let us know which one of him is speaking at the time. Otherwise it could get real confusing.

Yer right, of course, Shredd.

Also note that NONE of us in here have ever had to have "someone else" come to our defense for anything...LMAO

I doubt he even has a gf...

Who the f**k is "Binnie," anyway?

Binnie is Bonkies' Boyfriend. LOL
