I'm not talking about recording your rehearsal and listening back later as a learning tool.
I'm talking about when you just want to listen to some music. When you're surfing the web, working at your PC or working in your garage, driving in your car or whenever you might normally put an album on - Do you ever listen to your own band? |

I listen to it alot when it's first recorded, but after a few months, it can get old, just like any other CD.
Sometimes I put on the CD of my first band and listen to it, that's always fun.

I guess I'm one of those Kevin Shields types... except with a fraction of the skill  |

It's my drummer's kids' favorite music to listen too as well. The best was when one cut was getting regular local airplay and it'd come on when I was driving around. Scary, actually: Muddy Waters, Hendrix, Passing Wind...erm, what's wrong with this picture? |

| | | | Yes, as much as I can, I play the kind of music I want to listen to, brutal, fast metal, as well as very intimate, musical acoustic music

It was just a tape of a practice recorded with a boom box of some type but it sounds great and It reminds me of how awesome we were. I swear we could have ruled the world. I love to listen to that and show it off every now and again. I'm just worried that one of these times the thing will break on me and that will be that. |

I listen to my current band a lot when I'm out of town and we can't practice to keep me sharp. I listen to my old band purely for nostalgia's sake, especially when it's a rainy day and I'm on the bus. |

There's a gig DVD I like to watch because our lead guitarist froze and turned into a shoegazer. That always cracks me up.

Also, when you listen to something your not playing on, you kind of get images in your head don't ya...on your own stuff you get the images of your band in the studio, and the desk, and the stoned producer fiddling around on the computer for hours...completely destroying what you originally had as a "vision" for the song!
Mind you - listening back to it is all right, just so long as you don't listen to it TOO much (I mean, how many HOURS did it take you to get it to that point...?)
