There are alot of guys who hold themselves to a high standard, and thats a good thing, but it's the ones who are flexible enough to realize thats there
is an element of entertainment, are the one who make it.
Yeah I get pissed too, when I see the next crop of boy-bands, or teeny-queenies who are triple-tracked cause they cant sing, but get signed strictly on looks, or who they know. OR some whack-job who gets noticed cause he's totally off-the-wall.
But what irks me even more, is that I personally know some incredible musicians, with some fantastic original material....but they are so picky, introverted, and impossible to work with, they dont even play-out anymore.
And it's a damn shame that their work will probabaly never get out in the world.
This thread is getting way too heavy. And way off the topic.
So no, I wouldnt pay $850 for the fake wall, but I'd take it for free cause I think it's kinda cool in a funny way. Probably use it as a rec-room decoration.

Nah, I obviously wasn't implying that you were saying
all Perfectionists are going nowhere, the ambiguity is clear on both sides, isn't it?
...whatever.
I realize in this thread I sound very critical. And you are right, when a group is truly having a good time it projects on to the audience. Fireworks, makeup and other antics can naturally come with the territory. There is a balance, but the music it's self must take precedence, a good performer is a good musician first.
If I practice till I get the music,
really get it, then performance and the audience actually enjoying a show will be so much easier. You say be flexible for entertainment's sake, I say work it till you can be flexible enough to entertain.
But, yeah, I agree, I don't take myself that seriously, just the music.
