I always put a jar out for my shows... But my sets are made up crowd requests from a list of over 1,000 songs. There can be some down time w/o requests but I average around an extra 40- 60 bucks a night.

I agree with Tony. On the other hand,, let's talk about DANCING. Most bands get really scared if they can't get the crowd up dancing. Many moons ago (1980) we (Fantasy Airlift) were playing at the "Coaches Inn" (now City Limits). The owner was a shrewd business man, and actually did an an...

Always best of luck to anyone trying to change for the better. I will pick up your extra drinks so there is no temptation! Seriously though best of luck. IT's so much better drumming sober!!

After seeing some posts, it reminded me of one...how about Bruce Springsteen as "Most Forgettable band/artist" QUIT THE DRUGS YO TAKE!!!! It's making you say crazy things. Just playing! DMB Almost all nu metal/hard rock.. most of the singers can;t even sing in key on stage anymore!! They ...

I think Danny should have kcikc Glenn one tome for every album after How The God's Kill!!! And twice just for Black Aria!

I have always used Fat Vin's Method. Also pay attention to what chord your song ENDS on.. it several times my be the same as the beginngin chord... But thats what usually works well.

Ryan Adams is awesome.... We played a pretty dive bar many years ago and some guy was fresh out of prison apparently. We wre playing Long Haired Country Boy and the dude started doing one arm push ups. Then went and grabbed a beer and stood on his head against a wall and tried to chug it.. threw up!...

Didn't they used to go on & on after they took the makeup off that it wouldn't be right for others to wear the smae makeup as Ace & Peter? I can't belive Singer is back after they dumped hiss ass for Peter like what... 10 or so years ago now? He needs the money!! I remember reading about GW...

I have been doing nothing but music for about 2.5 years now. I had the same looks and questions you are talking about. My girlfriend's mother is the worst though. Mainly b/c she has a crazy leftover 1950's mentallity! She loves to say things like.. "well when you get a real job..." etc. Bu...

Bottom Line : All musicians are F@#ked up and cannot function as a group for an extended period of time. But every single one of us is searching for the exeption!!! BINGO!!!!! Take all of the examples and put them under this heading.. Then again I have played in the same band w/ the same 3 people s...

The liberal leftist media is ridiculous.. oooohh Some dogs were "menacing Iraqi prisoners." Lets get those dogs on trial as quick as we can. We should have them up at a Senate comtee hearing any day now. Then have them spayed and nuetered! It is funny how the headlines remain focused on so...

Our band was closing a festival at the college I attended. At the time we were calling ourselves Black Majik Jesus. Everyone had ingested a good bit of blotter paper.. I had over a dozen myself through out the day. Anyway we filled our set with a bunch of originals and Sabbath covers. To close out t...

Super genius Steven Hawking is solving a great dilema at some outdoor forum. (Homerpalooza maybe?) Homer agrees with him without knowing exactly who he is. He yells "Larry Flint's right!" Man I thought I was gonna soil myself. Thats the "MENSA" episode. Whan all the smart people...

Castles Made of Sand- Hendrix
The Abbey Road Suite- Beatles

I got a ton of Evanescence vid clips and concerts in my hard drive. They play along with their own stuff too. They don't add any guitars or anything. They add keyboard parts and all of Amy's vocal harmonies. I do have a few clips without them doing that but most of the time they do. That doesn't bo...
