Pay-To-Play Gigs: The Artists’ Perspective (1 Viewer)

[Pantone247]

there's enough elements here for everybody to draw their conclusions: some will think I'm an ass-hole and some that the ones who attacked me for my opinions are just like a bunch of squabbling children, that's it.

Alex,

Don't ever change

to these bands its not about the money
its just about tryin to make cool music "sell outs"

what a fuckin retard!

 

[thegoone]

i wasnt aiming that retard at alex

it just happens now to be written very close to his name and nobody elses

 

[Goodbye]

The last thing I'll say about this is thus:
Alex, try not to slag other bands in interviews...
I'm not a Jimmy Cake fan (sorry jimmy cakers) but making derogatory comments about them to convince people that they should be listening to Morello is just bollix and makes you sound like a dick...

I'm shure your a nice guy and diddent mean it, just be careful is all...

Ian, I see your point but I don't agree, sorry. I didn't slag anyone and didn't do any derogatory comments, I've explained what I meant three (!!) times in this thread, the last only 5 posts ago. Since you're not stupid, if you didn't get it by now it's because you don't want to get it. And if you think I said that "to convince people that they should be listening to Morello"... ah come on that's just silly

Anyway if this thread was fun, now it's just pathetic, let it go

[thegoone]

the jimmy cake are fookin magic
normal people like the jimmy cake pffh
only weirdys and coollys like the jimmy cake


i know this has gone on long enough and long may it continue
but why on earth would someone think someone was making music to be cool rather than to enjoy it or make music you enjoy listening to
it doesnt make sense to me


people only smoke to look cool
you and i think were cool
alex thinks he looks cool in a stanley kubric film

..do you know what I think is funny..all the big long retorts and whatnot..why do you give a shit what the people here think? telling people to stop posting wont help either..thats and invitation to keep doing it.

 

[snap-apple]

here's a question though
what indicates a healthy music scene?

is it
(a) loads of people going to gigs?
(b) loads of people making interesting music?

i don't think there's a right answer as such but i know which one alex would choose (a) and i know which one i would choose (b).

I'll be honest. After post 122 or so, I stopped reading. So this post looks out of place. Like a kebab stall on the banks of the Ganges. Or something.

Now look here. I would just like to state that the reasons people like music are as numerous and diverse as people themselve. Two common reasons put forward however are 'it makes my brain all tingly' and 'it makes my ass all shaky'...Unless you get a "wet arse", in which case you can stay off my dancefloor.

The Jimmy Cake, for me, do both.

So I'm not quite sure what I'm arguing, only to say that music has been bogged down by a need to define for so long, and it's never too helpful (except the genre specific areas in record shops, ill admit its handy then, as is alphabetical order).
And secondly, the Jimmy Cake give me a "wet arse".
