General Music Chat

There are some wonderful replies on this thread. It would make a damned good book!

Hmm. Maybe "The Writer" will come along and steal it and make a book of it.

aww crap, hope they don't use my story I was gonna try to write it all down as it happened and make a sell out sap cd to sell with it and see if I can't bank in on this emo wussyness that the kids born after 1990 love so much

You know what emo spells, decoded right?

MOE!

As in that's what they'll be listening to as soon as they grow up..lol

y'know for all the talk bout that band I've heard I still haven't looked it up....I really should remember to do that sometime, but right now I'm listening to Nile, gotta love metal thats to fast for a bass guitar most times

(shhhhhh be very quiet so no one will hear us)

I don't like MOE. (but I dig the shows) lol

hahahaha yah most jam bands other then the dead and floyd get old quick, there was a good jam band around here but they added an ego maniac flashy guy who is playing keys for them, just cuz you get in with a national jam act for a show doesn't make you good, and I don't like some metal bands but I like there shows

There's a jam-ish band called Sideburn. New, but feels like 70s stuff.

Oh Good God no thanks.

yeah that's like Phish.. Love the show, not so much the music..

Bonnaroo is the same deal. I was considering going, but not for 90% of the music.. lol

Man. Bonnaroo turned out to be a big joke.

We've got a nice little deal coming up in June. Check it out.

i got into music cause well i'm a natural i mean i literally picked up a guitar and started was good. not great but good. plus my dad always supported me when i said hey i want to learn how it play an instrument. but to put a point this, i basically live and breath music it got me through some ruff times so figured i'd make some and yeah and that is that.

Nice story and reasons I have if you got the time to listen.
In the 5th grade band was madatory, and i began with the trumpet, but I was way behind the other kids in my school becuase I has just moved to that district. I continued with that until my highschool years where I actually started to understand what music was. I picked up the Trumpet (for real this time) baritone, euphonium, tuba, susaphone, trombone, clarinet, I "tried" at drums but i lack the ability to only use 1 bass pedal.
I tried out for choir and learned that I dont sound as bad as I imagined I did. And I picked up my dream instrument the BASS.

Heres the WHY I stuck with it:
I have always been a very anti-social person, esentric and all that.
I didnt think that anyone else thought like me until I discovered the fine art of thrash metal. Here was a world world that I understood. My metal bands throughout the time have been a way for me to convey what is going on in my head, whether its a fabrication on whats real, or a story.
Music is a connection for me, I wouldnt give it up for anything.
