Perfect band to join via Craigslist

[BaronVonPelton]

What do I get out of it? I don't care if you like my music/vids, but plenty do, hence the months of gigs. Your opinion means nothing. I have zero to gain by showing you my music. Enjoy your five minutes.

That's what I thought. A bunch of talk and nothing to show, as usual. People like you are all the same, all you do is criticize, yet you have nothing to show for yourself. I want to see you playing more than one instrument and I want to see your videos. Cough it up, big man.

 

[Eschaton]

Yeah. I'll take Les Claypool, Slappin' da bass, and Fanciness over Dr. Goebbles fun time band any day.
I might play for free, but I have a goddamned good time doing it. The only people I've ever had problems with in 10 years of playing were the ones that just didn't get along with anybody. That attitude is a constant in the music community. If you're Metallica, and you have the clout and success to treat people like dirt, by all means go for it. But I know that I can jam and get along with just about anybody. I leave my ego at the door, and I have a lot of fun doing what I do.

You may think I'M egocentric, but I would be embarrassed to seriously present myself in that manner. I'm NOT a success. I don't make a living with music. I'm no better than anyone else, and even the successful musicians are no better than me. How you are toward other people is what defines you in this world. If I were you and I had an inbox full of applicants, I sure as sugar wouldn't be here arguing with the other half of the populace.

I don't need validation(that you so obviously crave).

Still all about YOU isn't it. That's all I hear is you talking over yourself. You talk so much about yourself, you can't even hear anyone else. You just think they should all do what you think or what you do. I'm afraid it doesn't work that way, ego-maniac.

This is not impossible, though improbable given the things I have previously said.

did Fender really give you an endorsement? if so, I might have to call Chris Fleming and have a chat with him...

No, you don't *have* any validation.. which means, if you "don't need it" either, then you amount to ZERO.

Pot meet Kettle..

I don't need it from you, sir Gigadouche.. I get plenty right here in Austin.

Your calling other people ego-maniacs yet you're whole cl post is full of you boasting on how good you are and how you are the greatest player ever. Why dont you let go of the reins a little bit and let other people have some input about what goes on in the band.

Petty insults is all you have. How pathetic.

 

[Eschaton]

Well... Lookin' like it's about that time. I've got better things to do than argue with a mid-life crisis.
Good news guys, I picked up a Peavey Rockmaster preamp today, it's a pretty neat piece of kit.
Looks good, feels good!

Let me know if this thread has anymore hard left turns. I'll have my popcorn ready.

Liar. I never boasted about anything. That's a flat out lie.

Then what do you call this gigaduche?

That equals "boasting how good you are and how you are the greatest player ever" ? Dude.. you're seriously twisted.

If that's what you think, then your perception is flawed. You're making an assumption, not to mention taking it out of context and twisting it into your own interpretation.
