General Music Chat

Rats,

Thank you brother! I would say that even more than a moderator, you are perhaps a BandMix Ambassador!

I still think you should consider writing a music blog.

An earthy, down home, view on all things musical. You could review music, post humorous observations on the biz, and on being a musician. You have clever puns, a love of music, and a good natured way about yourself. I think you would have regular readers. Maybe it could even get big enough to sell advertising?

Shredd,

That was an eye-opener brother! And it makes perfect sense. This guy is a total fraud. The pics on is site, from concerts to his alleged bus, are ALL photoshopped!

He posted a review allegedly from a Billboard Mag rep, yet it is full of typos and the same gramatical errors that he himself commits. The review purports that a Billboard Rep went to one of his shows, and declared him a musical god, the kind that only comes around every 20 years or so.

I've known Billboard people, and they don't talk like that, for starters. Secondly, a quick search of Billboard.com shows NO information about him. Not as an artist, not as a musician, not on the hot 100, ZERO RESULTS. I have a friend in country music, and he has nowhere near the alleged "famous friends" and "big shows" and "impressive reviews" as this guy claims, and yet MY FRIEND was on Billboard's Hot 100! My friend's name (Len Snow) DOES come up when you search it:

http://www.billboard.com/#/search/len%20snow

This guy claims makes out like Sean Hannity is his friend and he played one of Hannity's FREEDOM CONCERTS and yet a quick Google search, shows him NOT to be on any roster of Hannity concerts.

He puts up celebrit pics and writes his own messages on them, as if they are from the celebrity to HIM, yet there is NO PICTURES, not one, of him actually WITH these celebrities. The only pic of him displayed with someone else, is him with his alleged tour bus driver.

He photo shops OTHER PEOPLE'S shows and adds his own text, as if there is a big banner onstage with his name, or his song's name on it.

He's got 3 or 4 pics of the CMT (Country Music Television) logo, with the words "Artist Watch" and yet a quick search of the CMT site brings up NOTHING about him.

He got more song plays today: Over 3000 than Clint Black or Garth Brooks did. Those artists have Platinum Albums and Hit Songs, and this guy supposedly has more REAL song plays than they do? I don't think so!

I tell you what...

It is almost humorous when one charlatan is supposed to be warning us to look out for other charlatans! LOL

BandMix has too many musicians who have been around the block to get away with that sh*t!!!

I just knew I smelled a rat.

Bob has a pretty good sniffer too, if you guys haven't noticed!

And my friend's name (Len Snow) DOES come up when you search http://www.Billboard.com

Also, a search of the U.S. Copyright office shows NOTHING copyrighted by him. Although he could be listed under a different name.

The only pic of him displayed with someone else, is him with his alleged tour bus driver. Why would that pic be front and center, and not a pic with one of these famous country artists he claims to be such buddy's with?

He photo shops OTHER PEOPLE'S shows and adds his own text, as if there is a big banner onstage with his name, or his song's name on it.

He's got 3 or 4 pics of the CMT (Country Music Television) logo, with the words "Artist Watch" and HIS picture, and yet a quick search of the CMT site brings up NOTHING about him.

Not surprising since he also shows several magazine covers which include a mention of him on them. When checked out... ALL FAKE!

He got more song plays today: Over 3000 than Clint Black or Garth Brooks did. That sound right? Those artists have Platinum Albums and Hit Songs, and this guy supposedly has more REAL song plays than they do? I don't think so!

Spam or not spam ?

This > I wouldn't sweat it and just have fun doing what you do and don't wory what other forces are doing...you are your own force.

Was brilliant.

nice catch Craig

This go's out to one Mr Craigmaxim,
Look brother I have read a few of your so called post about music. You may have people here fooled but not anyone of us that are REALLY in this biz. Look I was not going to even write this but when I heard what you say about the Country Music Recoding Artist Christian Lee. Well I just had to say ...WAY OUT OF BOUNDS MY BROTHER !!.

Ya see I was there in Nashville at Omni Sound Studios to see him lay down the track “ THE ONE ”
Yeah the same Track that is #3 right now on the Nashville Country Music Charts at www.reverbnation.com And #7 nationwide. Ya might wanta go check that out Mr Max... And Believe me I can go on about him! He is Real. So intill you write and record a track that charts. You should Keep you mouth...Or should I say keyboard On lock!

And if you need to know more about Christian Lee you might want to look under christianleeredneckoutlaw, Or just call his manager.
Nashville's : Dino Bradley Oh yeah fill free to Google him as well

Have a nice day!
Oh And Lynyrd Skynyrd wants their look back..LMAO

Or just call his manager
Do you always discuss yourself in the second tense?
Or are you not Christian Lee?
Just wondering?
Being as I am not "in the biz" you confused me terribly.

hey dude, I checked you out. You might be the king of self-promoting, but for that title, you would actually need to be successful at it.

Big and bold letters won't state your case any better by the way, so you are just coming off as some douchebag who is so starved for attention, that he's pretending to be a rock star, even though 99.9% of his myspace page is an outright, and laughable lie.

Craig is the real deal, hell.. most of us here are.. We are the ones hitting the bricks, managing, booking, and playing shows all over the freeking place, and we can smell your kind 5 miles away.

You think when we're on break, and you come slithering up to us, shoving your delusions up our asses about how great you are, dropping names, venues, and your powerful mogul position, that for one moment we actually believe you? You think we don't see right through you? We're pleasant to your face only because there's no reason to call you a liar at our own gig. If you check the trash cans at closing, you will find the cards you gave us. No, we're not going to ever call you back, TYVM.

Do you actually think anyone over the age of 13 buys into your BS? Do you really think anyone here is buying into it??

All you've done is spam this forum with threads whining about the OLD industry stepping all over your rights to be heard. Well, maybe it's just that nobody wants to hear you

Let's hope that I am talking to the chick that runs his MySpace, if not, Mr. Lee is in third person mode again, pretending to be someone else AGAIN, and I always feel a little uncomfortable talking to psychopaths.

So...

You were in the studio when he recorded a song? No fibbing? WOW!!!

That settles it then! What the hell is there to talk about? He recorded some songs in a studio, and you actually saw him do it. That makes him a superstar for sure, and it makes YOU his chosen one, for being allowed in his holy presence in the engineer's booth. Or did you have to stay in the waiting room? Congratulations either way.


Alrighty then, back to reality...


So, he is number 3 on the "Nashville Country Music Chart"? Is that on Billboard? Oh... nope. Umm... On CMT? No? On America's Country Countdown? Not there either huh? Crook and Chase? Roughstock?

Oh, the Nashville Country Music Charts on.... cough... REVERBNATION?

LMAO!!!

I won't even bother to check his ReverbNation stats, because that is as meaningless to the music industry as MySpace stats are. According to MySpace "Tila Tequilla" is often the top music artists in the nation. But she has NOTHING on the charts at Billboard or any other LEGITIMATE measure of musical success.

And you say, if I want to learn more about Mr. Lee I should go to HIS website, or call HIS manager. How is it that a "superstar" and "musical god" can't be learned about ANYWHERE on the internet other than on his PERSONAL sites? LOL

And I checked out Dino earlier, since it was one of the few names that came up in association with Mr. Lee's. He owns a guitar shop, and he is a successful studio musician in Nashville.

Strangely, unlike Mr Lee, Dino's talent speaks for itself. He doesn't have a single photoshopped image to be found anywhere.

Clearly you are upset at being exposed, but here's something to keep in mind, concerning the Music Business...

You can BUILD a career in the music industry.

You can BUY a career in the music industry.

But you can't PHOTOSHOP one!

Christian Lee

Hear this story.

One of the hottest dance rock bands in Minnesota. The husband played lead guitar, the wife "really really hot" was the main singer "one of the best". Some scout talked her into going to Nasville to do a demo with out the band "clue one". The band and I told her not to waist her money or her time because everything was at her expence except the recording time "clue two" She got down there and had to sing their songs and not hers "clue three". They sent her back with a don't call us we will call you "clue four". They called and wanted $5,000.00 for the time spent and to finish the mix down "clue five" In the mean time, the band got another main singer "not as good but did the job". She sent the money, husband pissed, band pissed, husband leaves wife and the band rocks on. She is a total mess now because of this. You and her are built into the system to loose, IF YOU just like HER get caught up in it. Its your call. At this point in time only YOU can screw your head back on.......... or not.


The band rocks on. Will you?

This has become one of the most interesting threads to read
Thankyou Craig.
Jeff,, you really are the best,God bless.

LOL, I love that picture of the dog, his elbow leaning on the dog house.
Thats the shyts !

This has become one of the most interesting threads to read
Thankyou Craig.

You're welcome brother. LOL

Just stay away from the Marijuana Reform thread, which is now "The Bible is a joke - No it isn't" Thread. LOL

That's gonna get LOOOOOONG!

Quote fro Craig: " Bob has a pretty good sniffer too, in case you hadn't noticed."
Yeah, once I found out I was wrong, but I was mistaken.

AAAaaaannnddd.... Christian Lee's girlfriend has left the building.
