Music is pretty much my life. I love most genre but have always had a special closeness to Rock/Metal. It can lift me or chill me out and playing it yourself is excellent for stress relief. Especially loud :)
Currently for my eldest Son Bill to get signed with his Band.
Racism. I would want that taken out of the equation.
Rubber Bullets by 10CC
Favourite Band = System Of A Down. Current favourite musician = Jimmy Page
Mood (good or bad), also after watching good bands live. This usually gets my creative motor running.
I try to have fun with it, so no real message. I try to keep it as loud as possible and really just enjoy performing. I have no aspirations of making a real impact but like to be part of it.
Usually confident. Not a fan of tough crowds. My last band performed all original songs but were constantly badgered to do covers. Not a big fan of that.
Guitar playing today has reached a whole new level. The equipment available now loses me although I am a fan of technology. I applaud any musician who creates something original. Not sure whether anything needs improving. Just more live musicians and less boy/girl bands :)
Looks pretty cool so far. Not been involved very long though.
Not having enough time to work on my projects due to my day job getting in the way.
I go to live events when I can. I work shifts so its hard to fit in. I try to see my Son's band as oiften as possible when they play local. By the way it's My Son Bill doing all the vocals on my stuff.
A knowledge of social media and access to you tube I guess. Initially that is. If you have good material and some collateral then using a good PR firm can help.
White Raven Down. A great hard rock outfit from my area. They have a single being released on March 30th called "Take Me", which is being aired on BBC Essex Radio and a Rock Station in Philadelphia on Friday and Saturday.
