It gives me a way to say what I'm thinking and be vague. Music to me is my way of poetically calling someone a dick. Or to self deprecate subtly so know one gets all concerned about me.
Giging, big or small. Everyone (well most) wants that big stage, I'm fine with the bars and basements as long as their happening often enough.
Oh there's no changing the world. I have come to terms with that. I'm more a go with the flow kinda guy. If I believed it could I'd say COEXISTENCE. For people to stop fearing and fighting difference, you don't have to embrace it, but don't shoot it down either.
That's too hard. It's probably country though. (lol) I'd say "The Rose" preformed by Conway Twitty, because of my grandmother. She got me my first acoustic when I was really young and said she wanted to see me up on the stage at The Grand Ole Opry.
I got a list for you Mr...Blink-182, The Front Bottoms, Modern Baseball, Pup, Quinn Cicala, Pink Floyd (always), Tiny Moving Parts, Violent Soho, Cody Jinks, Slipknot, System Of A Down. too many musical loves to list. My taste is big range.
I don't really know. I try to explain it as, I write for myself. If people enjoy it that's cool, but I don't care really. It' for me an no one else. There lies the catch 22. I enjoy hearing good things about my music. So I do feel my inspiration is pretty selfish, but not much of an inspiration. Now that you got me thinking, I'd say admiration is my inspiration. Don't feed me and I'll stop coming around.
I'm a pissed off pot smoker with a kid, wife, and shit job, with opinions you probably don't wanna hear.
Nervous and great all at the same time. I still get chills when I hear applause. Not that I'm big and beyond the point of having that feeling, I just feel it will never go away. I'm always surprised to hear a positive feedback.
It's a dog eat dog world. I feel music needs to and is going to go back to local scenes being big. The internet Kinda craps on that theory, But that being said, no one wants to pay hundreds of dollars for nose bleed seats and 10 dollar beers, when they can stay in town and pay 10 dollars to get into a bar and get 2 dollars drafts and get double the length of performance from a bunch of bands.
cool so far. Dosen't seem full of scammers.... yet. I'm from the U.S. and have noticed a lack of U.S. based musicians, but I enjoy that too. I like hearing music from abroad. And knowing people from abroad enjoy my stuff is a new feeling.
Lack of people to work with where I live.
yes, Even as a performer I still buy the other band's merch, I'll stand front and center and watch as a fan.
Just be genuine. I feel too many people try too hard. You just get over produced sounding garbage. More Heart and less brain.
Check my musician list (lol) Pup is a great one, personal fav for sure. But I gotta p[lug QUINN CICALA! Those guys/he is amazing. From North Carolina USA! I played a gig with those guys and have been listening to them some-what religiously.
