being a musician who has walked the path of originals for 30+ years..never playin a cover ...these threads are the best..in a way i pay closer attention to originals..cause..i think its the artist inside us...a song is a special thing...
the gear is being used to create..not chase someones tone..major dif approach....Mitch opened that garage 2 years ago on MF ..that did it i posted our first song....so cool to have support...with other musicians it will always be tricky some make it a contest..its not ..i take the music very seriously & you original guys have the most respect from me..any genre..any sound..i appreciate original music more than anything...no tabs...your are the tab
the original scene was always so fun..the bands were in it together,,vs the bar cover scene in a way,,it took us all working together to get these shows off the ground & the calls would come as each band was breaking dif territorry,,,its so cool to see people reacting to something they never heard before,,,and liking it...never against covers just saw the limitations of going somewhere with it as a band. have friends in major tribute bands,,they hate it..one buddy who started one of the original tributes way back..so burned out, he had to quit music..great guy..runs sound these days.
i been hammered by people for years but at the end of the day..have about 100 songs done professionally that mean the world to me...something to show for the gear,,the practice...now if somehow that door cracks open 1 last time & we get out...def know what to do...ready..
