Any whooo.
While I am here, I have things to talk about, of course. Mostly music, after all I just did talk personal before, so lets go to what tends to be the norm here.
I'll just say these things straight forward, because I know it pisses them off. I got all the dirt on my old band through a very reliable source, it is amazing what people will say when they are talking to a girl. What I learned was rather funny, and sad. For the most part they are a shit talking band, everyone talks shit behind each others back, which comes as no surprise to me, it was happening before, I guess things never change. They also have mad communication problems, they were trying to tell one member to come to practice while they were on vacation, and they were told this by him many a times. Being in a band requires communication, and if they are having this problem, it will only get worse. The shit talking will become a problem to, especially when one member is intimidated by the others talent, and feels that they were encroaching on their side of the stage during show.
Oh, and lets get to the music.
I learned that they aren't writing anything new. I saw them two months ago, and all the music was stuff that was written back from 2009-2010, apparently they have to sink even lower to steal music that wasn't even written by them, to stuff that was written back in 2008, when only one member was in the band, and that member has no real creative input behind it. Kind of low, right? It's okay, I have MP3's of all the songs they are trying to rip off. It just shows that they are uncreative pukes, trying to rehash old stuff that didn't work in the first place, and what makes them think it will work again. I mean, they lyrics to the original versions of the songs actually meant something, they weren't written just to write meaningless lyrics. The last song I posted, "All Or Nothing," was actually inspired by my girlfriend. Writing a song about a girl doesn't always have to be a love ballad, or sex song, contrary to popular belief. It also can be taken in many different directions. From what I heard their lyrics are whiny, and bland. Hey if that's how they think they are going to make it, rehashing things that didn't work in the first place, go for it. Also, playing the same venue every show will not help.
My band currently has 11 completed original songs (all entirely new), we all get along very well, and our live show has been great now. We practice about 4-6 times a week, and actually went a 10 straight day run recently, and didn't even notice it. Being constant, and making the songs muscle memory are key to the band. We already have had people come up to us, and find meanings in our songs we didn't even know were there, so I guess we can say we are doing something right.
That's it for now. I sleep. Oh, I sleep.-SP
Post Script: Now I am finding out that one member is planning on leaving, and they probably have no clue. As me being a journalist, I have a more than reliable source. My theory is just more right. Creepy. I'm good at predicting things.
