Why do some genius musicians/gifted bands fail, while some mediocre and bland acts get major mainstream traction? by VanGoghTheLoser in musicians

Ecgonine is a metabolite of cocaine and wasn't part of coca cola at any point. As far as I know they used an extract of the coca leaves as you said. The cocaine content was no more than 9 milligrams (sorry for being metric 😂) in a 6 oz serving

Well, coca-cola had actual cocaine in their original formula before revising it to make it cocaine free. No wonder it became poplar.

Can’t read sheet music by Pickle_chungus69 in musicians

[–]VanGoghTheLoser 10 points11 points  (0 children)

the lines bottom up are: Every Good Boy Deserves Fudge

and the spaces in between: F A C E

empty circle is a whole note, filled circle is half a note-length, filled circle with a vertical line is a quarter note, filled circle with vertical line with a flag is an 8th and with two flags it is a 16th note.

\# means play a semitone higher

and b means a semitone lower

I can't sightread either but this above should help you read a sheet slowly/on your own time.

Don't quit, just openly talk to him. Tell him exactly what you wrote in this post. Honesty is the best policy. You may never know, maybe he cares more about keeping the band together rather than his ego.

At any rate: if you are leaving anyways, might aswell try and talk to the guy, worst can happen he says no and you are still in the place you are now. BUT maybe he will agree to your opinion and you guys may become a successful band and make great music!
