Ok, for those of you who don’t know, music used to be my ‘profession’. Played drums, actually. Love the instrument and love music but hate the music biz. It sucks to high heaven. Can’t be any more clear than that.
I was just reading a post on Ross Halfin’s blog (my favorite blog by the way) where he’s ripping on Scott Weiland (April 25th entry). Now I don’t know Scott Weiland, but I used to know all the singers I’ve worked with, and they’re all wienies. Some more so than others. Guitar players aren’t much better (John Gaudesi being the lone exception…a freaking genius and amazing guitar builder…and friend) but I’m still friends with all of them…they usually realize in time that it doesn’t pay to be a jerk.
Bass players…they rock. Dennis Sobole is the rock solid man of the world on bass (wonder where he got that from??) and Mike Davis is the twelve string master. And they’re great guys! What’s with that??
Drummers, of course, are the best of all!
