Where's "Play in a classic rock cover band"? Teaching is cool. I taught English and history for two months a while back as a substitute, without a degree I have to add. Knowing people really helps, haha.

People who go to Berkelee pretty much always get a good music job, they have lots of jobs posted on their site as well. Edited by user 27 April 2010 10:15:52(UTC)

I'm getting a degree in cultural studies in the next couple of years, which'll mean I'll probably end up as a waiter or as a cashier in a bookstore. Perhaps the band I'm currently involved in will make it, but I doubt Sony or EMI will sign a epic progressive blablabla doom band. :')

Ha, that's a pretty good idea. I could do the whole washed up Jewish rock star thing. Maybe that work if we'd build a career on stealing MAIDEN riffs. But then again, look at bands like ENFORCER and WHITE WIZZARD, who've been around for a couple of years, doing that exact same thing, and have already signed to Earache.

More of scene kids showing off bands going, "see, I listen to metal".

Oh come one Creed is like everyone's guilty pleasure. Mark Tremonti is actually a serious shredder, if he played metal he would shit on most guitarists. |

I have an unhealthy, pathological hatred of that band. I can't even explain it. Besides, Joey Jordison is a pretty good drummer, but SLIPKNOT are still utter dogshit, so honestly, I don't even care if the individual musicians are any good.

I don't think being a musician even could be a primary job. However i know about teachers and employment as well. It's also tough out there for teachers. But I know it's more stable than begin a musician. also all the traveling costs and the gas run high. I couldn't possibly be able to do it. I'm still going to make music though, but just for fun.

I have to say though that the material we're rehearsing now is sounding pretty damn tight. Kinda like the bastard child of early FATES WARNING and early MAIDEN (just not as good). I really hope we can get round to recording a demo soonish.

Oh no Creed sucks I like 1 song by them, secretly.I like Slipknot's first 2 albums.They get a lot more shit than they deserve.Jordison actually isn't that great.He's ok.I heard him blast on the roadrunner united CD and it was horrible, he couldn't keep time and all you heard was the bass drum. |
