Title: Do you want to get into the music business?
Post by: Wayne L. on May 03, 2004, 12:56:57 PM
I have been a dedicated rock fan/music fan ever since I was around 5 years old way back in 69 with rock & roll fantasies of being in the Beatles & Kiss when I was growing up during the 70's in my room like most kids do, I can't play any instruments but I can write lyrics which is easy as eating & breathing to me even though I don't know how to read music at all just like Paul McCartney, I'm 40 years old at this moment in time which is still basically young these days unlike when John Lennon turned 40 back in 80 with lots of creativity inside my brain which means I will possibly be comfortable by the time I'm 50!!!

Me and A friend are thinking about starting a tribute band to Classic Rock. Right Now were sort of trying to play more instruments, and get more members. I wright music and I can sing pretty well. When we get things together i'll let you hear some samples.

What part do you sing.

I'm a tenor but I can sing alto, low saprano, and Baratone. I've been taking lessons for years. I've also been in choir and I made it into State Choir. Every UIL I go to I get a 1. That's the highest.

I sing, play bass guitar, guitar, percussion, piano, and saxophone.  I'm 20 years old, and I whole heartedly intend on breaking into the music business someday.

I always had a dream of making it one day, but then I realized that I hadnt suffered enough in life and I got married. With a wife and two kids, i'm lucky to find time to sit behind the set yet play with a band. I guess I have the memories though.

I don't think you have to suffer to make music - just look at Chris Martin from Coldplay! He got everything on a plate.

I play in 2 bands, I returned from a 5 show tour through France and Spain last night, the coming 2 weekends we have 5 more shows planned in Belgium and the Netherlands, and our 3rd and 4th cd/record were recently recorded to be released somewhere in the near future.

My bands are called Striving Higher and Downslide and I'm pretty sure you'll hate them cause both are hardcore bands. I play guitar in both and I'm the worst singer in the world.

Not true.

There always has to be someone that's the very worst or the very best.

And unfortionately, when it comes to singing, I'm the very worst. :) But that's OK, I accepted it.

And besides that, I wouldn't even have the guts to sing in public. Put me in front of a thousand people with a guitar in my hand, and I'll do my thing, no problem, no nerves whatsoever. But please don't make me sing or even talk to them, because I'll sh*t my pants.

Unless Helena has actually heard you sing one could only assume it WAS a joke (tho a smiley would have helped).

I would have looked at it as a joke if she hadn't blown up other places as well.

Look my post after the "rude" one: That implies that I was joking...albeit not a "perfect" implication, but it's an implication nonetheless.  And as for the "other places" where I "blew up", well, for one, it was only ONE post on ONE thread.  I would hardly call that "blowing up".
