Is this the message board for persons with down syndrome? - because you all post like you are retarded. Lucky for you I am here to give you all some pointers on the best way to find a musician that will best suit your band:

#1. Jam spot?: Say whether or not you have a jam spot, this is important knowledge for people considering joining or jamming with your band.

#2. List influences: Why the fuck would I reply to your band if you don�t even list what kind of music you play or like.

#3. Include Links: If you have a website, give a link to it. If you have MP3's online, give a link to it. If you have any other info about, give a link to it.

#4. Include preferred age group: More often than not, No one in their teens wants to end up getting 20 emails from 43 year old blues drummers or Christian metal drummers, so include an age group that your band can relate to.

#5. Include contact information: Now this is a tough one guys, I have seen tones of postings with no contact info or anything, what�s up with that?

NOW, This should help you get going and stray away from 90% of the useless posts here that are like:

Mofo Wow thanx for the insight "liquidgreggy". I agreed with much of what you said but your flustered know it all routine was weak. Your smarmy little shit attitude really made me want to punch you in the face. You catch more flys with honey pal. By the way, lose the name, I wanted to kick your head in before I even read your stupid post. - Wed, 23 Apr 2003 3:48pm

How to offer advice and assitance:

Avoid a superior approach and a condesending attitude

Example:


"Liquidgreggy - Is this the message board for persons with down syndrome? - because you all post like you are retarded. Lucky for you I am here to give you all some pointers on the best way to find a musician that will best suit your band:
#1. Jam spot?: Say whether or not you have a jam spot, this is important knowledge for people considering joining or jamming with your band."

Be Clear. Use proper terminalogy--"influneces would state performers or maybe styles. Genres would indicate "what kind of music you play."

"#2. List influences: Why the fuck would I reply to your band if you don�t even list what kind of music you play or like."

Avoid repetition:

"#3. Include Links: If you have a website, give a link to it. If you have MP3's online, give a link to it. If you have any other info about, give a link to it."


Don't be closed minded: Massive Attack's inclusion of 50yr Reggae singer Horace Andy in their Trip Hop unit of 20 yr olds didn't exactly damage their career.


"#4. Include preferred age group: More often than not, No one in their teens wants to end up getting 20 emails from 43 year old blues drummers or Christian metal drummers, so include an age group that your band can relate to."

#5. Include contact information: Now this is a tough one guys, I have seen tones of postings with no contact info or anything, what�s up with that?


Always remember session musicians can play anything.

Stryper?

Christian Rock was alright. So was Christian pop -- but Christain metal? I don't know. What's really weird is Christian Death metal.
I find that ironic. Shouldn't it be "Christian Ressurection Metal"?
I think the joints would really shred then.

Peace Manlord,

I'm glad that you are proud of your penis and you gave it a man, However, I never called your post "useless". I don't even know what your post was. Unless it was the one written "what?'. It seemd more like confusion or query rather than "useless".

You might have confuesd me with someone else.

I mean no disrespect to you or your Manlord, which I'm certain is not useless. B.u.t. very few things are useless. Or as the Hagakure states "Do nothing useless".

peace

Manlord Lots of things are useless. This is useless, actually.
I'm not trying to argue semantics or anything bitchy like that. This is from your post:

There's Islam Rock. I think that's System of Down. Hush now, don't let Baby Doc Bush know. He might decide to liberate them and all their fans. - Sat, 26 Apr 2003 11:27am
