With all due respect, that's quite a leap of judgement. While I've certainly met a goodly number of musicians who fit your less than flattering description, I have also known as many who are gifted and ambitious. The musicians' experience is as deep and varied (perhaps moreso) as that of any other group or practice, so I wouldn't be so quick to label the "majority" of them.
You disagree with me, imagine that.
Welll Irminsul you have better luck then I. Yes I have met and played with some very gifted and serious people, but they are far and few in between. Very far and few in between. You know the top two contacts I have had in the year or so I have been on Bandmix? One was from a producer, a real producer not some wanna be. Next was just recently by a band that has a CD coming out and says they have major label backing. Both of these contacts respond to e-mails, have a plan, and do what they say. Now, you know how many people I have contacted to get maybe 3 to give me the courtesy of a response, and not just on this board but several others? Thus from this research, I draw my conclusion. And IMO it is a very accurate conclusion.
Can we agree on this. Do you think it's a good idea that if you are out here trying to find band members you should have some content up for people to check out? I mean come on man, I have seen you jump on people for that, and the vast majority don't. Doesn't that seem like a fundamental factor if you are serious and dedicated musician?
RhythmMan,
Yes, excellent. All the points you laid out are exactly what I mean.
