Maybe I should focus more on how cool I look on stage rather than how good my songs are. :(

If an agent/manager got in your ear...I bet that is the main message they would try to convey.

the thing that kills me is that when someone does see a band they want to sign, they love the show - the raw energy, the kick ass rock and roll.
Then they get them into the studio and suck every little bit of life out of them...

i think what they see is potential - to be molded into something the studio can use.

kind of like a girl that wants you - then tries to change everything about you - because she saw some kind of potential for you to be the way she wants.
and all you do is scratch your head and wonder what the hell she ever saw in you in the first place ..

That's only because the people who sign bands are like girls.....they don't really know what they want...so they ruin it for everyone else.....

oh hell no man, they know EXACTLY what they want.
and it comes from a scientific formula based on record sales.

how the fuck do you think we got so many Creed clones out there ?

There're Creed Clones? What the hell is this world coming to?

But case in point......Clones.....No originality...Hey, how many bands can we find that all sound the same? Silly Bastards....

You're absolutely right. My band has had offers to be signed too some indie labels but I have to question they're motive. And I know that all they see in us is money $$.

I want a label that I can agree with. That likes our music and understands it, Not just some dudes that like Hip-hop and takes a good percentage out of our shows.

People say to me "when you play this show, I want you guys to stand out so people will know who you guys are". I wanna say "fuck you. this is how I dress, plain and boring".

but now, I'm getting to the point where I just wanna be signed so I can put a record out... Music is a bad business

Don't get signed just to get signed....it's a bad idea....My band lost a lot of money in a record deal....We were signed, recorded our album, and it was never released.....they kept giving us the runaround on what was going on and eventually dropped us when our contract was up......

i have an incredibly talented buddy who could have been signed 3X by now but he has the smarts to know what to get in a contract and they werent giving.
He has been 'doing' music his whole life and has been exposed to every aspect of the business so thank god he had the sense to know when he was being offered something less than stellar.

A lot of guys have been destroyed by the business ... you dont expect to have your souls sucked doing something you love ..
