    Bitch, first off, I do quite well thank you. They are big in Japan ....yaaaaaayy. Doesn't mean shit here. Many acts do well overseas and never do well here. I work in the fucking United States music industry.

    Owned, blow me...a gay term overused by ignorant fucks like you.

    Before you go treat your brain like bubble wrap for the rest of the day smoking, understand what we were discussing: The viability of Ashlee Simpson. Her record sold an automatic 3 million because of her access and success to MTV. It's a no brainer, which is why the deal got done. Only a moron, or you, would NOT do that deal. That deal allowed the label to finance several baby bands that got their shot, whether like them or not. So shut the fuck up about what you know...it's pretty sad.

    The only reason I commented on this thread is cause I like Sesh, not because I wanted to discuss your retarded theories on fine arts and commerce in other countries.

      I've waited so many years for someone from a record company to say that.

      Thank you. Thank you so much..:D

      LMAO! I'm not joking...

      I can die now.

      Cheers!

        The whole point is that you don't know SHIT about your own fucking business. Hell, if you did the equivalent at any other job, you would be the first to get laid off in a snap.

        But seeing how the recording industry is run by underqualified no talents, they can get away with that.

        Thing is, ALL YOUR FUCKING TOP SELLERS SO FAR HAVE NEVER EVER EVER EVER EVER BEEN A WORTHLESS LOAD OF SHIT LIKE ASHLEE SIMPSON!



        They were all bands with integrity, which is one of the MAIN reasons why the B'z are doing so well in the East. Maybe you should FUCKING LEARN from them. Which was the whole fucking point of me pointing out that band to you.

        But you were too stupid to figure it out.

        FIGURES


        YOU and all the people LIKE YOU are the #1 reason why the recording industry is doing so "bad" at the moment. Hell, all the shit you try to make us swallow these days can't even hold a CANDLE, hell they can't even hold a tiny little shit that's about to come out, compared to all the top sellers so far. The Ashlee SImpson CD ain't no fucking Appetite for Destruction, and the SALES NUMBERS PROVE IT!



        Marketing? How the fuck are bands like SImple Plan marketing? DO people even fucking know who the band members are?

        You wanna see fucking Marketing? KISS is marketing. CVH is MARKETING. Michael Jackson is marketing. NOT SOME FUCKING OVERPAYED NO TALENT HACKS PICKED OFF THE STREET!
        The name Sammy Hagar conjures up a variety of emotions from music fans--from hate to contempt, from disgust to revulsion.

          It's was fun talking to you Sesh. Scat...whatever, I'm done entertaining you. Is what it is. I do quite well in my business, I'm living well and that's all I need to justify, IF that.

          Your potshots and theories are all amusing, but I have to get back to work now. Perhaps you have a class to attend?

            Sesh,
            You still continue to impress me. I don't think it was bad at all. The singer is what really did you in. It's nice that you still have some stuff to reflect on. Too bad you couldn't do some sort of reunion but with well....a different singer. Sure, you sound busy with everything, but it would be nice, even if it was a freakin' BBQ in your backyard with your old mates.

            I try like hell to keep things all fluffy bunnies and pink daisies. But brutal truth smacks me in the ass all the time.

              16 years to the day I finally get around to copying another old demo from casette tape to MP3.

              A lot of people in this thread didn't like the singer on the earlier one.

              As it happened we got rid of him but ran into some other problems. We obviously weren't on the same planet as VH but it's interesting to compare the two because maybe it is super important to have it all perfect and that's why it's so difficult. Maybe drummers and bass players are more important parts of the jigsaw than you think...

              I think it isn't too bad given...

              1) Hey we're about 20 years old.
              2) We really couldn't find a drummer...
              3) We had management and they were telling us to be more commercial. Not easy to get signed in chilly Scotland.
              4) The big irony is that in the last one I posted everyone said that we needed a new singer which was true. We got a guy that could sing but lost the good drummer. It's interesting because it really shows how important that shit is. If you have a shit singer people say 'Hey your singer is shit' BUT if you have a shit drummer people say 'Hey your band is shit!'.

              If you can bear it listen to the first one a couple of times please do. I have been after all these years and I think it's pretty good. Looking back I think it was pretty fucking catchy and I'm proud of co-writing that one.

              Where are they now?

              Well I'm here...
              Bass player is a forklift truck driver
              The other guitarist is a medical scientist
              The singer is a security guard at a nuclear base.
              The drummer ended up as a stunt guy. He's in BraveHeart killing people and so forth. He's much better at that...

              You'll notice a common theme here that it's never my fault that I'm not a world famous rock star...:D

              Right Click Save As...







              Comments plus and minus will be interesting to me at least.

              I play lead guitar on the first two, rhythm on the third. Not to mention my shouty backing vocals. I cringe a litte listening back because the solos had to be first or second take because the drummer spent all the studio time we could afford trying unsuccessfully to get in time.

              For the people that care about tech stuff I'm playing a shitty Aria Cat through a 1972 50 Watt Marshall head and 4X12 Marshall cabinet with a dodgy homemade distortion pedal and maybe some board chorus and delay, I cunt remember.

              It was recorded and mixed in 20 hours in a 24 track studio onto DAT.

              Cheers!
