Arrogant bands (2 Viewers)

What's the point in playing if you don't think you and your band are deadly?

Fuckin' A. I've more respect for shit bands who think they're amazing than mediocre "if anyone else likes our music it's a bonus" bands. If yr really that indifferent to the audience stay in yer bedrooms lads, there's more than enough bands already.
 
Anyone who thinks their own act is deadly all the time is missing a bit of perspective and/or insane. There is ALWAYs room for improvement: playing performance and good old fashioned ideas can always be improved.

I'm sooo glad you finally admitted that Allen. We were all starting to wonder whether you were losing it.
 
I once slaughtered a journalist's entire family for not realising that there had always been a dance element to our music. He made a point of mentioning it next time he interviewed us. Result.

You are in a dance band though, aren't you?
 
What's wrong with a bit of arrogance? If I was in a band I'd be arrogant as fuck. You have to believe your band is better than all the rest out there and that you are offering something newer and fresher than the rest of the half-assed naval gazing, electro beeping, pseudo-Zepplin shite out there.

is that not confedence you're refering to? arrogance just means you're a prick. confedence can get mistaken for arrogance if you're giving it loads when you're playing, but it just means you're having a blast.

2 or more members of a band wearing t-shirts with skulls is not a good look. Especially when they look like they were bought from Topman.

Mark, I guess I am referring to having confidence in yourself and your band but also a bit of arrogance is ok by me. It just means you think your band is better than the rest. That doesn't mean you're a prick.

yeah, i suppose it can work both ways. john reis always seems quite arrogant, but then again, his bands are better then everybody elses.
 
check out the dodgy punctuation in that morello bio! they always seemed earnest rather then arrogant to me. and alex was always very helpfull with tech issues.

"With their debut US release “Twelve Ways To Breathe” Irish-Italian rockers Morello are ready to shatter the the cult of posers and fakes that dominate the so called “scenes” of American youth culture. Finally the dis-enfranchised have something real to believe in.

We are sick to death of ten a penny haircut bands peddling the “I’m so depressed because my girlfriend left me line” explains Steve. For us music has always been about challenging false perceptions, being true to your self and giving hope to those who need it. We wanted to make a record that would empower the weak, ease the burdened, inspire the settler and shatter the self imposed mediocrity of modern living.

Twelve ways to Breathe is our call to arms, a personal dictate that forbids us from accepting the mundane and the average. We are all capable of so much more if we examine our lives, believe in ourselves and reject the hecklers, pessimists and charlatans that want to hold us down. Time to Breathe!

Morello have spent the last year blazing a trail across North America enthralling crowds from coast to coast with a cathartic live performance that has seen them compared to explosive acts like At The Drive In and post hardcore pioneers The Refused. Live is where we are most at home adds Darren, we strive to connect with our audience and bring out any kind of emotion. We would and have shed the blood sweat and tears on a nightly basis that so many fakers yell about to give our fans the best and hopefully incredibly moving show of their lives. When a kid tells you
that you’ve made a difference is when the 10 hour overnight coffee fueled drives don’t seem so long afterall and when somehow your own life seems just a little more valuable!"
