I was bored, saw an ad posted here, basically asking for an honest opinion - Is this artist good enough to make it in the music business? I went to his website, and found this future Nasvhille Star, and listened to his music. At first, I thought It was somebody's unique sense of humor. It sounds like this guy took $20 dollar lessons from William Hung when he was intoxicated. I was begging for the guitar solo after the first 8 seconds of the first song. I counted 4 notes in 5 minutes that were almost bearable. Whoever took this mans money to record this God awful demo should be served papers, and whoever told this guy - "Hey, you should pick up a guitar, write a song and sing it for others to hear..." needs to be punished as well. A career is lawn care is, in my professional opinion, the best way to go. That way, when the lawnmower is in full swing, this guy can sing out his heart, muffled by the buzz of a 2 stroke engine, so the world does not have to hear one more pitiful note leaving this guys mouth. My dog howled for the better part of 3 weeks after hearing this mess. Please stop.
If you come to CL Cincinnati, asking for an honest opinion, this is what you are going to get. This is quite possibly the worst music demo I have ever heard in my entire life. If there was an inter-galactic contest, in search of finding the worst songs in the observable universe, and any of this material was entered into this contest, everybody else would be running a distant 2nd place to this clear winner. The chances of making it in Nashville are absolute Zero.
This one had me goin.

I thought the same thing.
I religiously maintain my 2-stroke weed whacker because it is a lot more powerful that the new 4-stroke models, and less likely to break.
I know. 2-stroke engines pollute more.
You should see my dirt bike
Well, what struck me is that it was like an ad that might have read like this: "Let's start a pizza joint! You bring the dough, the cooking implements, the oven, the cheese, the sauce, the tables and chairs, plates, pots and pans, and the customers, and we'll man the cash register!"
It just seemed so futile to me to not have the "Geddy Lee" lined up before trying to start up a Rush tribute band.

Rerun, I know, but still funny. If you haven't seen it before, skip ahead to 0:42. Funny...

I am a Producer/Engineer in Atlanta looking for Musicians for my project "Mean Streets" or "AMS" (Atlanta Mean Streets). The situation is this... I enjoy varies types of music including hip/hop, punk/rock, Jazz/Blues etc and i want to take every bit of inspiration from myself and other musicians and come together as a supergroup. Picture catchy, sing-a-long, pop punk hooks with raw hip/hop inspired verses and an over all splash of whatever creative juices are flowing. The formula is simple, no flashy shreds or technical tempo changes, just straight forward and to the point. I disagree labeling music with other artists but i feel like if your background consist of classic rock, Under ground punk to pop punk, reggae/blues, alternative... rancid meets, gorrilaz meets beastie boys meets g-love and the special sauce meets... you get the picture. Thanks for your interest. My name is Chase "Ruthless" Glover (guitar/vox). Things can be done one way or the right way and like you I have been in to many failing bands in the past and now i want a chance to do what feels right. We'll have access to recording material for I am a Audio Engineer and will have the ability to fly mixes with or without instruments so you can practice on your own time as well as at least once a week with the band. My schedule is insane, i work at a studio in ATL and i never really know what tomorrow will bring. I am a great guy to work with, thou i have tunnel vision i still have a wide open mind when it comes to music. Our crew runs wild so lets act on providing people with a band that knows how to have a good time. Thanks

Here's another...
So basically... this guy likes to sing by himself, he's met one guitarist who has not made a commitment, and he's craigslisting himself as the founder of a band...
