    Open letter from bar owner to musicians

    I'm confused about what the bar owner meant by no baseball hats and frayed shorts, etc. That eliminates 90% of metal, punk and indie. Maybe he doesnt have those kind of shows and does the oldies coverband open Mic stuff

    Wanna play in Drop A, but the singer can't handle it...

    I like being in drop a. If the song doesn't rely on a heavy use of the open root note in a different key you can play just about anything in a higher key if need be

    old guys playing originals?

    You're supposed to hang it up when you're middle aged? That's kinda a waste to be a musician in the first place

    Is live music on the way out?

    As has been said its all about region. If you went by s.Fla, for example you'd think live originals is dead or on life support. The cover scene is strong but its mainly older stuff. National acts do well.

    Hate waiting for the phone to ring with bad news

    I think i saw that ad on cl. Then someone did a response post insulting the original ad. S.Fla is brutal with the Craigslist wars. Anyway it could be a different santana tribute. Best way to know is to contact them with a covert email pretending to be someine else wanting an audition

    Facebook isn't nearly as effective as you think for your band

    YouTube/reverbnation > Facebook (for band promotion). I don't know that anyone on Facebook pays attention to the music stuff. It's so flooded with crap where do you even start? You could argue that with YouTube as well but they don't make you login first which is huge and youtube plays on...

    Boss BF-2 Flanger on bass?

    I've used that bf-2 in a million projects. It has such a cool metallic soundthat I've yet to see anyone emulate be it analog or digital

    Alcohol,Weed or Worse does not make you play better.

    Having two or three beers to loosen up is no big deal. Any more than that can be bad not to mention you get all dehydrated and sweaty up there. The only thing I don't like about band members smoking weed during a show is that it seems to make them too chill and that affects stage presense

    Advice on Current Band Situation

    Sometimes its best to let things slide if you are having a good time or have a good thinf going. The band I'm in now i came into adter it was akready formed. I'm used to running things so its been a humbling experience. Sometimes you have to get over yourself which for me is very hard

    Beginning of the end?

    They're right to question your ability to commit after the baby comes. Honestly they don't seemhungry at all so I'm not sure what their concerned about unless there are a bunchof shows coming up. The baby comes first though

    How often do you need to rehearse?

    At least twice a week is say preferably 3 for 2-3 hours but I play tech metal honestly I don't even think thats enough but I believe the best bands are the ones who play and play and play some more. It's no secret

    To use a metronome or not to use a metronome?

    It's a good idea for an originals band to write to a click. It can save a lot of headaches if you plan to record at some point. You wont realize it but the song will sound like a mess if you never clicked it before and wrote everything based off feel
