I used to want to play music for a living. Even a modest living.
But if i had to play the same songs for years on end i think it might drive me even crazier.
These bands and players that go on for years have to be losing their minds in that respect.
Could you imagine? Same song playing for forty years?
I like to play for fun but that would really get to me. I wonder if it gets to them?.
That’s why you don’t be a musician. You be a composer and write new material.
that’s prolly why they are all drug addicts and drunks…you know the people that choose it for life.
When Mick Jagger was in his mid-twenties he once told an interviewer: It’s ridiculous that all these old musicians don’t retire young when they should. I would consider my life is bad if I’m 40 years old and still singing, "I Can’t Get no "Satisfaction " onstage.
Now it makes sense their drug habits.
It’s from going mad because of the repitition.
Thats a great idea.
Don’t really feel as though i could. Not well anyway.
Hmm it depends on the song for me. I’m in the band at my school and when we’re playing a song I don’t like, rehearsing it a million times measure by measure does drive me a bit nuts. But if it’s a song I really like I don’t mind playing it over and over.
Playing music calms me down (when I don’t have any solos!) it’s one of the few relaxing things I have left.
I hear that. At least the meds are working and I’m not blaring heavy metal into my ears (which can get rather monotonous). Music calms me down too.
I am old and I love playing the many songs I know…kind of like…accomplishment it feels to me.? I think this very thing is why Kurt decided to die…he didn’t want to grow old and be a musician.
I read an article recently where Rolling Stone interviewed Francis Bean Cobain. She thinks Kurt was overwhelmed and that he didn’t want to be the voice of a generation. She also said she doesn’t like Nirvana’s music, which I found odd and amusing at the same time.
Truly I only like maybe a hand full of their songs.
what bothers me and what probably bothers Francis Bean is how upset Kurt sounds when he sings…you can literally hear the misery in his screams.
We are in a unique musical “timezone” now. We went from Delta blues to dub step in what? 50yrs? It will be interesting to see how it all goes down.
Lately I can only listen to instrumental stuff like MMW, Garage A Trois … jazz or classical.
Lyrics have been weirding me out lately. I’ll equate a negative event in my life to a song and it will haunt my brain for longer than I’d like.
I love music and I do play though I’m not a gigging musician. If I did gig, it would be jazz for the sake of my remaining sanity.
Who’s animal Chin?
Ahh I got you now.
I watched that video maybe hundreds of times way back when.
“Maps to the skater’s homes!”
Haha classic.
Me neither, I can’t afford guitar picks and I’m always losing the ones I have.
I used to try and skate a long long long time ago.
I got very good and not being able to do anything but roll around the park as if i was surfing and not skating.
The skaters was good peoples. Some of the funnest and intelligent people that i ran into.
hawk was my first board.
