Wow!!! Now thats what you call looking out
LOL!!! Though it is off subject, I must make this observation...
Why is it that everytime a big named musician comes in here and makes a statement, then its deemed to be the truth lol! Now before anyone can get it twisted, I agree 100% with what Jeremy said but, if you all can get out of the hype for 10 minutes, you will realize that what he said has nothing to do with him being a "seasoned vet." Its basic life 101. Live a little, open your eyes and ears to whats going on and you too can gain the same knowledge. I have seen this pathetic behavior several times in different threads and its sickening. Then you finally get a chance to meet your favorite musicians in person and they seem like jerks. Why is that? Maybe if you stop sweating them for a minute, it wouldnt be that way. Get out of the hype and let a man be human for 10 minutes. Have a normal conversation sometimes. It wont hurt.
Then on the same token, you get big named musicians who come on this forum and lie about how much money they make. I recall one of them claiming that they get offered $5000.00 a night to play an R&B gig. What happened after that, cats started trippin out in this fantasy world like, man, dude is gettin all this money lol! Well let me tell you like this, nobody on this planet is being offered that much money to play for any artist. Do the math. Put yourself in the artist's shoes. If you were big enough to offer that kind of money to a musician, you would'nt have to lol! Talented musicians with lesser names will play for much much less. Artists dont care about names anyway. You can barely see musicians at a show and no one in the croud cares. But because a big named musician made this false claim, its deemed to be the truth and you supposedly dont have to think for yourself? Thats non-sense.
This is supposed to be Learn Gospel Music but it seems as though people are learning little to nothing, and producing even less.
I think everyone should stop and ask themselves, what does this forum mean to you?
I have been here a couple years and I cant believe the lack of growth. What happened to this place? Im seeing videos on here that should be praised that arn't. Then Im seeing videos on here where people are clearly better talkers than they are players, and everyone is like, yeah man good job lol. What is that? How does that help anyone get better?
I think I'm wasting valuable words here but, if I can help one other person, my job is done.
Peace, Love and Blessings
