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....
I played solo for 6 years. Just me and my acoustic. It was a lot of fun. You can work at your own pace.
I just find the whole "I'm gonna innovate a style that crosses hip-hop and funk" to be laughable. I'd like to hear this innovation.
When he says something to Irminsul to the effect of, "there's nothing new to your style" (rather rudely I might add) well then I want to hear his completely NEW style that he has created by crossing hip-hop and funk.
His whole, " I want to find peeps who want to play because they grew up listening to earth wind and fire,and stevie wonder" doesn't even make sense.
So if they DIDN'T grow up listening to Earth Wind and Fire, then they're not good enough to be in his band??? It's just idiotic.
And by the way, Earth Wind and Fire and Stevie Wonder can also thank Elvis for them being able to exist in their genre as well can't they? Their styles wouldn't have existed without him.
(PS.. If you wanna be an "innovator", stop demanding that your other musicians like, play like, or sound like another band (or person). Otherwise you can't be innovative can you?)
Dude, YOU need to take a look in the mirror. Because my guess is, you're the reason you're still looking. I can tell just by looking at that post, that you don't work well with others. Just read your post back, and see who has the real ego problem. You're actually being the drama queen rockstar bitch.
Maybe you should go solo.
