The sad part is, I know the person that might be responsible for that XD. We had a senior graduate from my high school a couple years back, and he was friends with a lot of the high honor roll guys. Well, he became a druggie, and when they all went to college, he drug all these great students/kids down that road. They all ended up dropping out of a very good college, and buying a house in a podunk town near Seattle so they could make "The greatest band since RHCP". It's pretty sad really. That kid and several of the other kids and I used to be pretty good friends. Just shows what drugs can do to some people.

Not saying what they did was good.. but.

Did you knwo that RHCP used to be drug addicts. they didn't go to school.

and just because someone drops out of school does not mean there life is ruined. maybe it wasn;t what they really wanted to do in life. maybe they were forced to go to school.

sounds like they all want to make a go of being professional musicians and have made some sacrifices to try and do it.

I lol'd.

Edit: Adding my own story.

One time I was surfing craigslist, probably about a year ago, and I saw an ad that ran basically like this:

"We're a deathmetal/blackmetal band that's looking for a serious bass player for our album we've got almost finished. We weren't planning on picking up a bass player since you can never hear the bass anyways, but we decided it'd look good to have 5 people onstage instead of 4. We've got 6 songs and it's going to be the most brutal thing to hit the Tampa Bay area. If you can deal with that, then here's what we're looking for:
Pro Gear
Pro Attitude
Pro Transportation
Pro Writing
Pro etc.

He then rattled off like 15 different "pro" things that the bassist needed to have before finishing with this little gem.
"And by the way, don't come and expect to have a say in the writing process. I'm the lead writer for everything, lyrics, guitar parts, guitar solos, bass parts, everything, so know what you're getting into."

I was kind of flabbergasted to see it, but then I thought, at least the guy is honest.

Yeah, very true, but the point is that these guys aren't good musicians reallyl. Plus the fact that a vast majority of them were at the top of their class. I'm not denouncing those that use drugs, but these kids had great potential, but they threw it away.

Some band around here has been looking for a female vocalist age 25-27 to write lyrics and record vocals for an album they already have recorded. After running the same ad over and over for a few months they decided that's apparently too specific so now they're looking for either a male or female vocalist age 25-27 to write lyrics and record vocals for an album they already have recorded.

Weird.

That's weird. I mean, if you want me to play inaudibly that's fine, but why do you want to write specific parts for me to play inaudibly?

No Bass heroes need apply:

[Invalid or Expired Link Removed]

I need a bass player who can play Zeppelin, Bad Company, Clapton, Skynyrd, Pearl jam, Black Crowes, Deep Purple, Mettalica, Hendrix, Journey, Aerosmith, that is right I have a singer who can actually do this!

A keyboard player also. And huge practice place.

The candidate must be 20 to 40, have their own gears,(pro stuff not practice amp), good look, transportation, ability to work stuff out on the spot if we want to add something, and the attitude for playing originals, I.E. either write parts or I will right them and you ply it that way. I am not looking for a bass hero, who plays what ever he wants and tries to draw attention to himself.
Girls are welcome but no inter band dating, EVER!

Kashmir, Since I've been loving you, Shooting star, Feel like makin love, Pride and joy, Voodoo chile, Wind cries marry, crossroads, wonderful tonight, Black, Alive, She talks to angels, Hard to handle, Let it be, Norwegian wood, Tuesdays gone, Simple man, Dream on, Nothing else matters, to name a few.

Not only does he not want a "Bass Hero",he'll gladly write your parts for you.
