Musician Forum - Band Discussion Board - BandMix

I can't stand when musicians think they are solo acts....get your dumb ego in check!! It's one thing to be good,but it's a whole other thing to be licking your own nuts...If all you want is to get paid for playing ....go stand on the corner you little bum...or get a real job!! I want to find peeps who want to play because they grew up listening to earth wind and fire,and stevie wonder, the reason you play in the first place is because of these people...look in the mirror....."rock star"..two thumbs down to you...bboooooooooooooooo....

Hate to burst your bubble, but several of us here are working soloists - including myself. That's no swipe at people who want to be in bands, more power to them.

Why you're so pissed off at soloists is a subject for a therapist, I think.

I listened to that stuff your calling music....only good wayyyyy underground...like 6 feet down....there's nothing new to your style at all ..your just another in the race faking jacks taking up space...

Put up or shut up dumbass. Lets hear some of your new innovative hip-hop tunes. You did say hip-hop didn't you? Yeah, like that crap hasn't been done to death.

What I post here is not my solo work. I am a celtic harper. Maybe before you go throwing around judegments and displaying your lack of self worth, you should get all the facts first.

Seconded..

What are you gonna innovate? You gonna rap about your hard times in Hawaii??

Shucks Shredd, He be just another soured white boy gangsta wannabe who can't find anyone to play with him. If he wants to hip hop about so bad he should get a pogo stick.

Another lost soul who's lost his soul in order to be redundant & repetitive

But dig dat crazy beat...oh wait no we can't..."no audio available"...why am I not surprized?

Boo hiss another excellent excuse for retroactive birth control (metaphorically speaking)

Didja get ANY of that Mr rick? I doubt it so...

I, too, am a solo act on occasion...whatchagonnasay whatchagonnasay
whatchagonnasay about it? (I typed this real slow so's you could keep up)

Yo Lothar'

I dig Stevie...but I land filled my clavinet many moons ago.

Ray Charles? ...I'm still playin' some of his tunes. ... and people pay me to do it.

Why don't you take a drive over to Pearl City and chill out at the Monkey Bar. Mayby you can get a good "free payin' gig" there.

Cripes! I shoulda looked at the title before I spoke!

He calls solo musicians bums, yet wants his future handed to him on a platinum platter?

Speakin' o' "dumb egos!"

You won't go far here trashin' what you don't understand...things like "music"...you know...notes & tempo & harmony & stuff

Oh, & btw...the reason I play has NOTHING to do with Little Stevie Wonder or Earth Wind & Fire...I was into music before they came on the scene, dumb-bass

I like big...... auuuugghhhh.... fuggeddabowtit... I give up

hey rick ashley( ) i play as a solo artist...and i play in a two piece...and i play in a full five piece band....by your logic i shouldnt exist...yes your a lost little soul alright...


lastnight i played a solo accoustic gig as part of the i.m.c festival..
it was a fantastic gig with a very strong line up that played everything from jazz to funk to accoustic and rock all the music was originals....i played a really solid set of all my own songs and the crowed f ucking loved it....

the best part is that due to this one show i managed to land a support slot playing in the "clay centre" (900 seater arts center) in june....

so what do you say rick ashley(i hope you know who that is).....
am i not a solo musician....

go ahead and stick up your "JAMS"....i could do with a giggle.

I gotcher future, here...sorry...no platter...it's okay, though, cuz you don't HAVE a future...not in music, anyway

Wow, I hear gunfire from the mount. LOL



The best is that people talking sh*t are all over the site, but we only slap a select few. I think the guy comes off as intelligent, but misguided.

Should be only half a slap for intelligence, but misguided. Be nice, you show more manners to the slap-a-ho tribeswomen of bandmix and half of those won't even post music.

RICK, tread lightly this bunch is blood thirsty and there are no trials in here. Well save for the music you may or may not upload.

You should have started out to the effect of "I can't stand it when SOME musicians that are solo acts...." That way you don't alienate the entire population in about 3 seconds flat.

I do thank you though, as I was highly amused by this entire thread thus far. lol

I feel a need to apologize for my rude outburst. Not to the poster but to the other forum members here. His reply to Irminsul set me off for some reason even though I know Irminsul is more than capable of taking care of trolls like this himself. Some times your the fisherman and sometimes your the fish and in this case I was the fish last night in replying the way I did to this thread. I don't have a problem with hip hop just the hip-hopper in this case. Sorry!
