Musician Forum - Band Discussion Board - BandMix

I have spoken to a few people of late that lost their mind and burned their music or just sold off everything they had and took a semi-perm hiatus.

The only thing I ever burned was my pledge book from Alpha Chi Rho and they burned it on the electric stove first, so I doused it in Everclear and set it on fire. (The were not amused, but I was)

Any more of you think burning your music/destroying your equipment does anything for you? I don't even think it made me feel better, then again we got so drunk that night the local cops came to the frat house and I left in chains (cuffs).

Regretfully, when I was a teen ager, I smashed up my first guitar... in a fit of temper... To this day I shudder to myself about that... Never again have I ever done that... As such, I save everything I do musically...even if it sucks... (I'll label it as "It sucks" but I won't destroy it.)

I got drunk and burned my songbook in '96. I still think of it as the catastophre of '96...

A very stupid thing to do.

I also gave a rather nice guitar away after the woman I named it after gave me the heave ho. Now I give my instruments unlikely names like Amanda Jane and Susannah!

No.

I had a 2 4xcabs when I first started playing, along with microphones and a guitar - then I got married...

20 years later, I'm rebuilding my arsenal.

This is my check in. I've read some real hate posts that have transpired since my last check in. There are a lot of really good people on this site- then there's others. Caustic personalities that help no one. Good sound criticism never has the word Suck in it. Suck can be a good thing, but not as it is applied here. The powers that be kept me from posting my music here on Bandmix. I have found that if you want a sure fire way to get a response from members here, post something someone will disagree with. Good people don't post enough to make this site fun. People on this site are looking for a good word or constructive criticism, but often what they get Sucks! There are those that consider themselves Christian, even post Christian music, but then are anxious to condemn someone's efforts. Christian faith is more than a title- it is a lifestyle- more than a genre'. I'm not burning my arsenal, I'm building it. Cleared my head of bad thoughts and I won't let them follow me. There is great power in good thoughts. Bad thoughts are no power.

Are you a head case or do you just play one on TV>?

Plenty of people believe in god, they just don't believe in YOU and I can see why.

There are a few Christian musicians in here, but you don't see them preaching to the masses like this is where they came to hear your sermon.

If you want to preach, go buy a pulpit and start your own thread.

PS: F**k your check in. Check in and tell me when the rope is around your neck, so we all can go have a good cry followed by a party to celebrate your passing.

You have yet to notice that You are the one hate posts are directed. With one finger pointed out, you have four pointing back at yourself. Your hate threads are the problem with this site. Buy a hate thread site. I'm sure you'll get a lot of followers. Your first post on this thread tells us who is the head case.

LOL You are so full of yourself, you can't even comprehend that there is another view other than your own.

Did you start this thread?

Did I give an open call for evangelical preachers to infest this thread?

Truth is, I don't give a batty sh*t what you think now or ever. Any credibility you may have had just went out the window with the bath water.

Volunteer with FEMA if you want something to do, just don't hand me your bag of sh*t and ask me to join your cavalcade of whimsy.

You are a discredit to any and all that share your beliefs, as you are trying vainly to force what you believe on someone else.

Plenty of others force people to believe in what they do, it's called a dictatorship and although you may be both potato and dick, you are not in charge. (thank you god)

Now go on, I know you have people to convert and sinners to save.

Time is $ and souls, so you better get up off your fat ass and get moving, Rev.

That jackass from India with his ever present threads to buy flowers has more credibility than you do. But keep whining, who knows someone may think that you have something valid to say.. Then again.. lol

Oh and dare I forget the ever-present item of NO MUSIC OF ANY KIND.

That, in of itself, is telltale.

I smell Crap'n Spit

It's your own bad breath blowing back in your face, jr.

The only equuipment of any kind I feel like destroying is the sh*t made in China. Especially the Chinese sh*t that is now a monopoly in many industries.

Zoloft. Good stuff, so I hear. Take one bottle and call me in the morning.

Some of that Chinese stuff is pretty good
Why would you want to destroy it
Or are you talking about Chinese carryout
