I used to go to many shows but not much anymore. And now, after reading this thread, i'm asking myself why?

But at same time i know that's it's impossible for you to do that. only Skynyrd can sound just like Skynyrd (using Skynyrd as example because i like them) i like metal too in its various forms.

so, the fan is at a quandary. now please don't take this wrong but the LAST thing i want is to hear YOUR original tunes. tried that not that good(99% of time). know you put lot of work into it but still sucks to me, most time. sorry. i'm being blunt :cry:
Sounds like you don't even know what you want. You seem like a damn good armchair quarterback though.....thanks for your wit and wisdom.

Personally I feel metal is over done in this area.. Even I used to be in a good metal band back in 99.. www.myspace.com/brokenneck99 I could be wrong but, I think thats yet another reason why some people dont go out much anymore.. I think that they just automaticly think that if they go out to a bar its probably gonna be a heavy band.. I hear so many people say.. I dont like that screamin crap.. Yeah heavy music sounds cool.. and dudes like it.. how many chicks do you know that are into Hatebreed. I'm not saying that everyone should pussy out.. I am mearly putting thought to the keys here.

Hey Rubines tonight everyone!! We just learned a whole bunch of new songs.. and one of them is the new Metallica song Cyinide.. come out and see that!! whoo hoo.
Recording Records DIY, with more than one good song. Watch for my new band

This will be my finally post on Rockpage. In all due respect, I have been talking with club owners, artists/bands, light and sound people, about the situation concerning the Altoona music scene via phone calls, etc....! I had alot of positive and some negative feeback. In the doing my research I have found: Alot of people...artists/bnds stay way from this site because of people with the ALTOONA ATTITUDE...yes, some of them are so called, "your best friends". Club owners want to do alot more in the area, but the when they come to Rockpage, they get no respect at all and are wondering why should they even bother? The artists/bands that think they are the 'next best thing' are far from it. You have alot more in your backyard that you can't see, even if it's right in front of you. Wanna be star? Work hard, be original, and don't believe everything your friends tell you. I could say alot more, but I;d rather not get into it. The ONLY reason I showed was, because of an invite from Jim Price and a 2 other people. Think what you want! I'm outta here....happy trails....by the way, you will never know where, or when, I will show up! May the force be with you.......

cucuplex96 wrote:theres surely enough room for a band.. Rubines actually has quite the little scene. There is a band that plays there called the Remnants.. they are an incredible band. Matt Burns and Bodacious B. Southern stuff from a guy named Toker. The House band, Felix and the Hurricanes, and the list goes on.
Yeah Rubines is about 3 blocks away from where I live... Just a nice little walk to get there... as I said, when I was in pool league for 30 something, we shot there atleast once... its tiny!!! lol

Not really my "type of" bar... but maybe i'll come up sometime with my video camera... Just give a shout when a band will be there... :D

It's *riddance...you'd better learn to spell before getting all hardcore with the keyboard, dude. Asinine. Seriously, mjb?!

Herman/Jim, don't judge the scene because of a few assholes. You've gotten plenty of respect from the pillars of the community in this thread. Were you hoping that everyone else here would find out what or who you are and kiss your ass? Not gonna happen on Rockpage! Keep your expectations low when coming to a place such as this and you won't be so disappointed in the end. Learn to ignore the hate and rise above it, man. Best of luck to you! Thanks for your input anyway.

Rob, vagueness was the main theme in all his posts, IMO. All he did was hint about what he could do. I would like a real list of all the bar owners in the Altoona area he actually talked to. If he really did talk to any, I would be interested in what he had to say. How was this mysterious poster going to get more people out of their houses and out to bars?

Not everyone is into music for the "chicks". That should be the last thing on a real musicians mind.

You are quite the classy one! You add nothing substantial to any thread you post on other than mentally crop-dusting us with your oh-so-non-wittiness. I'm going to point out the obvious again, and I love early-80's punk like the next hetero, but between your avatar, and your same-sex oral gratification references, you, sir, must be the dick sucker! If it walks like a duck, and talks like a duck...

Thanks, but no thanks. I'm straight, but I'm sure you'll find some dude that appreciates your crassly homophobic, ridiculousness. You have nothing so you are reduced to sexually-repressed, bigotry. Congratulations. I mean it. At least you are committed to something.

Miscreant.

thank you. i think that was a very well thought out response. i'm glad you got a rise out of my comment.

you implied some crassly homophobic ridiculousness. bigot.

DUDE...my girlfriend just told me i was gay for arguing online. i think she said that 'cuz she wants to get online. owned.

by the way...even though it was recorded in the late 80's, the album on my avatar wasn't released until 1990...then 1994...then 2006. punk bands just won't stop reissuing shit.

I'm not real sure what it was. It looked like a strat, but was some other manufacturer. It had 9's on it (lol)

Quite possibly you may be thinkin of his gold one that he built. Its got a nice shiny coat, and a picture of his son on the back.
