General Music Chat

Hi people.

Our gigdoggy blog has a section where we post daily videos of live bands.

Anyone want to be featured? All we need is a youtube vid that we embed for one or two days.

You are welcome to ask us to post up a banner or whatever.

The blog is at:

and the daily videos:

Cheers,

How about a video of me in my living room wanking away to a backing track?

Unfortunately, the only video I have of my last band was all taken down when we split up. I have all the source videos, but the guy filming it was extremely challenged on how to not zoom in on a singer's 5 o'clock shadow for the duration of a 4 minute guitar solo.

You know I'm on it!

giggy, I dont understand why groups chose to post all these Youtube videos, most of them I look at just make them look like dumbasses to me, maybe negative publicity is worth something. But Ive seen bands that I like a lot and their videos on there sound horrible cause little video cameras sound horrible. I mean if someone else post something up there is nothing that you can do, but a lot of people post their own of their bands and all it does for me is show how unprofessional they are.

Give me back the Led Zep days when a band regulated what the public see's.

One of our fans took a video and was going to post it, they showed it to me and I begged them not too. I dont know if they did or not, but I dont want to see a bunch of amateur videos of me all over the place.

Just my 2 cents, I think musicians should really think before they post up stuff that is inferior, it could come back to haunt them.

Paul, Im not saying this to you cause all your videos are tastful and look like you put some thought into the finished product, but some folks just amaze me. My son has some friends in a band and they were at my house looking on youtube at a video they posted, it sounded horrible, they were out of tune, they didnt look like they knew what they were doing and they actually sound pretty good when I heard them practice.

Please fellow musicians think before you post something and make sure if you post it that its the best that you have.

Hey Jason.

Are you refering to the videos I post up in my daily videos sections or just youtube vids in general?

I always try to put up quality vids, and by quality i mean as long as the sound doesnt distort and that the energy is there.

jw, you said it brother.
I couldnt agree with you more. Do the audio/video the right way, or don't bother.
Most of the videos I've seen are painful to endure. (Pauls have been good though)

i get what you're saying of course, but a shaky cam is enough to convince me if a band is good or not on stage.

On the other hand, yea if you are using a video to promote your music, it's worth to at least make one that kicks ass, on which you worked the sound and the image.

bump!!!! lol
