Idaho music Message boardgrumps about to get yanked
Wow. Again. Another really great point. Advantage grump.
Hey, andy, at least it's jerkass bullshit. Better than an empty skull.
i found that quote a couple of years ago and just found it again the other day and thought i'd share. in context. it sums up my feelings as well of creating my music.
And what do you have jackass? A bunch of jerkass bullshit on a message board by a band you don't like. Good show.
wow. profound.
That's not a quote, it's a fucking paragraph. Fucking hell, spare us. When the fucking apocalypse comes you all gonna burn, and all you got left to hold up is a love of microphones and a "The The" quote. Fucking wake up you zombies.
I agree Seth. Got a side project where I just play guitar, help with arrangements, etc... Kind of liberating.
I love playing in a band if someone else is writing the songs. In fact I like it as much if not more than doing my own material.
i am with you seth all the way. i have recently decided that i will record the upcoming grand opening demo on my own. i will let the old tgo drummer do some drumtracks where i can't play stuff good enough. but on the other instruments i think it's completely impossible to get my idea into their heads. they have good ideas, no question about it. but it's just not my idea. and when i don't get that out i feel that it ruins the song and i feel like i am doing something not as good as it could be. and of course you need a band to play live. if you're not bob log III.
absolutely - playing live is totally different. it's much more fun (and entertaining for the audience) to play a show w/ a band than by yourself.
I understand your comment about other people lending fresh perspective to your material, Adam. That's entirely possible - in my case though I guess I never found the right people, because it's never worked for me.
Yeah, the touring/live playing thing is a whole other issue. I'm definitely with you on that.
I think that attitude is kind of detrimental. Other musicians have improved my songs, and when they haven't we did it my way. Don't underestimate the ability of a fresh perspective to take your song some place unexpected and beautiful.
Just my opinion. And keep in mind, 9 times out of 10 watching a band is a hell of a lot more fun for the audience than watching a one-man show. I thought that Idaho was much better when John Goldman was playing bass for them than the time they toured as a three-piece.
I'm with you guys on that. That's the exact reason I haven't played in a band in almost 5 years.
I agree whole-heartedly, Seth. I could never have someone else play my stuff.
That's funny, but that pretty much sums up my feelings on recording my stuff. Playing live with other people is a blast, but if I'm going to record my own stuff, I usually know exactly how I want it to sound. I am hardly a great drummer, and I'm a downright terrible keyboard player, but I'd rather play the parts myself than spend the time trying to explain to a "real" musician what I'm hearing in my head.
That is a good one, Brian. I'm a big the The fan as well - what the hell is Matt Johnson up to these days anyway??
one of my other favorite artists is the The and this has to be one of the best quotes ever about creating music.
