original huh?

you mean like when randy newman did it? like when bon jovi did it? the list goes on and on and on but i won't bore you with it...

any twit that can fiddle out kum by frickin ah on a guitar could play ALL of drivelbacks songs....in fact that dude even looks like this camp counselor I had at camp cheesywhine back in 82...

i haven't turned an fm radio on in at least seven years. Most people around here know that I used to work in that business, there really isn't alot you can tell me about it that I haven't lived, eaten and breathed. One things for sure, there's no accounting for taste....some people like it safe, some people like it risky.

Risk drives creativity.

Record companies avoid risk like junkies resist rehab.

In general non-musicians like it safe and packaged, pre-digested if you will. Musicians tend to appreciate risk...you can always tell a frustrated musician because they almost invariably have an eclectic taste...

I'm less than impressed with metallica's output over the course of the last twenty years, but calling them the wort musicians ever is just plain ignorant. I suck three times worse than any of them as a clear example....for a more technical one, do you think that guy in spittlesack has ever heard of an arpeggio no less be able to play one flawlessly at eighth tempo?? um, no. he'll take his strummed open chords right to the bank thank you.

i know this is shallow of me but I always put an asterisk by nickelback listeners....and people that like professional wrestling...and people that wear faux hawks.

Aunty...

...you know I don't want to be a rockstar. I want to make good music, record it and spread the word outside of the mainstream music industry the old fashioned way (the internet?), by taking the show on the road. Stranger things HAVE happened but I couldn't possibly think of a more dismal, lonely, unfulfilling way to live and I can only hope I have the strength of character to recognize it coming before it happens and quit while I'm ahead.

...I decided not to post any videos because I think they suck too...except for this one, which is not for those with a short attention span, an inability to hear harmony in undertones, that don't know the difference between tube and solid state...
