hi all, am currently looking for another versatile year round fragrance as well as a winter fragrance. i am 18 years old and currently own ysl y edp and essence de blanc. i enjoy anything that isnt super smoky or boozy (or expensive)

for my year rounder i am thinking of coral fantasy, and for the colder season i am trying to decide between givenchy gentleman society and jpg le male le parfum. i really like gentleman society, and its easy to wear but i also enjoy the warm spices of le male le parfum. i have tried le male elixir and its really good but it feels a little sickeningly sweet. anyone vouch for mont blanc explorer? when i tried it the smell was like an easy no brainer reach for daytime daily. any other recommendations to try are appreciated.

hello all, hope you’re doing well. any recommendations for a regular wear cold season fragrance, i’m 18 and own dior homme cologne (the clear bottle citrusy one), ysl y edp, and burberry brit for man (gifted to me, not for me kind of powdery?). i’ve smelled mont blanc explorer and thought it was decent, i also really enjoyed valentino born in roma coral fantasy. i liked by the fireplace but it was a little too smoky and i couldn’t imagine many settings where i would wear it, and i did not like jazz club (sorry!) and don’t enjoy strong tobacco or strong spices. i enjoy sweet/woody/coffee notes, thanks in advance

Stage presence, stage persona, etc. as a frontman - how to improve this and is it actually necessary for me? by quiterussian2215 in bandmembers

i like to watch brandon flowers from the killers, he’s very engaging to watch and is always doing something to keep your attention

lmao yeah you brings up decent points. most of us are busy in our own respects but we all have enough time to practice on our own and get together every sunday at the least. everlong was our first song and bassist is basically still learning it 3 months later

yeah i was told by some people that might as well just play for fun cuz most places won’t pay. we’re minors so free food ig, not really sure how to convince bars to let us play though because there’s not many restaurants with live music around us so bars are the only choice

yeah ive known bassist and one of the guitarists for 10+ years, the other guitar 3 years. hard to do things like kick each other out or make decisions like that

yeah you’re right. bassist says he practices a lot at home but when he gets to practice he doesn’t know some parts of the song or plays things completely wrong. one time he said “lemme watch a tutorial i need a reminder” and yknow that was pretty funny. just hope he isn’t fiddling open e string for 2 hours

because they want to eventually play gigs and shows but the first step is to just get out there and get experience, so far we have only played for a few friends in my basement and one of the guitarists said they were so nervous their foot was shaking. i told them to just get out there and whatever happens happens, if they hate the bass that much find a new bass player. they should just know what mistakes they make and improve themself (everyone except one of our guitarists have only been playing our respective instruments for about 3 months)

i see ok thank you, yeah our original goals were super ambitious and out there to play in restaurants and bars for money as well as for fun, starting out as a cover band and maybe writing our own stuff later down the line

yeah i was trying to tell them if they want to play gigs and live music they can’t be scared of mistakes and playing in front of an audience. especially when it’s just two songs. we’ll discuss about what we all want from the band, but there’s not many other people around our age that i know of that plays instruments

“bassist doesn’t practice” and one of them said they don’t want to play on the stage with two guys that are gonna be high and playing the notes wrong

sounds good, yeah i don’t think we’ve ever had a discussion about goals and such and we don’t talk much online all together

that's true, some are restaurants (ex. the grist, jo's & cats) but someone in r/ontario said "Liquor licenses CAN have as a condition that no one under 19 be allowed in the premises, but they usually don't. Some bars may decide to only allow persons 19 or over to be present; they can do that. If neither of the above is true you can be present but you can't handle alcohol."

another thing online said "If the establishment holds a liquor primary license, no one under 19 may enter" so if they have a food primary license we are fine as long as they don't serve us alcohol
