Jadethegladiator boyfriend's band broke up

[YngiweRhoads]

Haha...I was actually thinking of this band when I was referring to garbage! Good call!

[Tapeworm]

Success is relative, as is 'kicking ass'. 'Kicking ass' in the could mean playing a 1000 seat venue as opposed to a small 100 seat club. This type of music is not meant to pander to the ignorant masses, yourself included. Success for this genre would best be measured against it's peers. If half-wits like yourself measure the success of one's art by how much money they make then they are truly missing the point of being an artist in the first place. Which is, the compulsion to create meaningful art, regardless of medium and audience.

America loving it's success stories revolving around making money is exactly why it's is the financial mess it's in today, but I digress.
 

You bring up an interesting point.  Would Jade be equally keen on the guy if, somehow, their music was good but the band was never anything but a financial fuckin' albacore around their necks*.

Dunno.

But, I did score many more chicks when I was a dirt poor musician traveling on the road than I do now since I have settled into the tech field. That's obviously due to the nature of the biz though. Nor were those long term relationships. That is, unless 40 min is considered long term.

X2 I had more chicks when I was poor. Now I have some shit and the action has dropped off WTF?

[Tapeworm]

Seriously, thank you for getting that.  You have no idea how long I've been waiting irl.

[Spoony Luv]

Actually, the bassist is B's son.  He lives with us here in Florida, is engaged to a beautiful girl & is far from homeless.  Btw, the joke is kind of lame.

Wasn't Hummer sold to the Chinese?

[Jadethegladiator]

Wasn't Hummer sold to the Chinese?

I don't know.  Hey, doesn't everyone love Hummers?

[TonyAlva]

Yes Jade, hummers are the best!

Radio = pure garbage

If popularity of music were in direct relation to talent then classical, fusion, jazz, prog, blues etc would be the most popular forms of music, and not the garbage that proliferates the airwaves today. When a truly talented artist's music becomes mainstream, it's usually due to the fact they have 'dumbed down' their music to 'reach a larger audience.'

If you want to find good music you need to search the net, hit your local scene or perhaps satellite radio.

99.9% of pop culture, not merely music but fashion, tech-toys, television, movies, is unadulterated tripe pandering to the sub 100 iq crowd to keep the masses spending and intellectually ignorant.

Radio....hahahahahahahah aahaha

You = retard

while it's true that radio = shit

radio also = $$$$ which = paid bills and money in the bank = EXPOSURE

exposure = stupid teenagers buying your record and voting for you to get played on MTV etc. etc.

Sorry kid, only an idiot gets into the music biz expecting to make money off of it. You're better off investing lottery tickets as it's a greater return on your investment. You play music because you love playing music, not for cash, unless you're delusional of course.

Are you fucking retarded or something newbie? I wouldn't get into the music biz.

But if you're getting into it for pure artistic reasons you'll be a starving artist and better keep your walmart position...at some point you gotta pay the bills, you'd know that if mom ever kicked you out of her basement.

[YoungBlood]

Finally! Someone's bringing some sense into this thread. 

Well, those Marshalls that Spinal Tap used, were a copy of the Fender Bassman in the late 50's. And all late 50's tweed Fender amps all went to 12! Eat your heart out Spinal Tap! :p

Another musician joke:

What's the difference between a musician and a large pizza? The pizza can feed a family of four.

Bonus Joke:

What's the difference between stocks & bonds and a musician? Stocks and bonds make money and mature.

[YngiweRhoads]

No one is talking about you.
 

But if you're getting into it for pure artistic reasons you'll be a starving artist

For 99.99% of musicians it's a hobby and nothing more, and they have other sources of income.

and better keep your walmart position

Seriously kid, you come off as a complete idiot.

...at some point you gotta pay the bills,

See above.

you'd know that if mom ever kicked you out of her basement.

With nothing of value to say you resort to meaningless inflammatory comments.

There is no "albacore around the neck" goin' on here.   My guy is a good guy & he loves the music business.  The band is going to sign & record with a new label out of Nashville March 9th-12th.  I got his back.......

Hey, if you really love him, etc. Get him to read Steve Albini's (no stranger to the music business) warning to bands. I mean it. And heed Albini's advice.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news again...but I don't think you understand the term 'label' a 15 year old can start his own music 'label' it's basically a corporation, you register it with the business bureau...

when I talk to musicians regarding labels there are only 5 or 6 **REAL** legit labels in existence,

again when I say label, I mean a RECORD label that has a 20-40 bands on it's roster, can afford to press 500,000 copies of an album, pay for art work, distribution, royalties, etc.

So, to recap:  REAL label = sony, BMG, EMI, Warner, Atlantic, Columbia

bullshit label run out of guy's closet = F n A records (whatever the hell that is)

Signing with a **REAL** major label basically gives you the right (label pays) to record 2-3 albums and you get an advance of aprox. $100,000 per member of the band, sometimes more sometimes less.

just a FYI.

QFT  Jade sounds like a fool who can't keep her cock in her pants. This band won't go anywhere. Typical white trash idiots with some slut who will fuck anything that moves. Jade is just gross and naive. She can't make a real living so she tries to mooch off whoever she can. The only label this band will sign is playing one night a week at the local dive bar.

White trash, idiot, slut, gross, naive, moocher, etc.= me.  I'll just chalk the above words to "maybe you are just having a bad day".  Hope Wednesday will be better for you. 

Wow, your parents must be very proud of you.
