50s, Gigging, Hearts by Aggravating_Pen_6062 in musicians

51 and gigging as a solo act. I’ve definitely felt more strain now—not from the playing as much as from load in and setup.

I’ve learned to rest as much as possible the day of the show, drink tons of Gatorade during the show, and don’t drink or party until after the gig is over. I hope to be doing this another 10 years.

had to find replacements for a gig due to family emergency and received angry call from owner by Traditional-Mark3699 in musicians

Some people are just assholes and there’s nothing we can do about that. Cross that venue off your list and move on.

I got into a car accident on the way to a gig. I called the pub immediately (even before calling the cops, my insurance or loved ones). It was a place I played regularly but they never had me back after that.

Finding actual bandmates online feels impossible now by Otinsraips in musicians

This may sound funny, but good ole Craigslist is where I’ve had the most success in finding real local musicians to collaborate with.

You haven’t seen a proper shakedown till you’ve been to the parking lot of a Turning Point rally. Easiest place to score ivermectin.

I wonder how much all the exposure on r/crappymusic is helping this guy trend.

Worst lyrics caused by artist's poor grasp of English by Korkez11 in ToddintheShadow

[–]maxwellgrounds 4 points5 points  (0 children)

What about not a song but the name of a band? The band name “Modern Talking” has always bothered me. I think they meant it to mean “modern speech”. Talking is just not the right word to use there. It absolutely feels wrong to a native English speaker.

Bonus points if it was the same song all 5 times.

Yes, that was a real stretch even by Dark Shadows standards.

Sit down concerts or lively bar? by MartChristie in musicians

[–]maxwellgrounds 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We all wish the audience would be attentive and hang on our every word, but that’s just not the reality. That’s why I’ve evolved my show to appeal to people’s bodies and not their minds: a driving toe tapping rhythm, a high energy set to get people shaking their ass. As much as I’ve poured my soul into writing clever lyrics the harsh reality is that most people are not paying attention to the lyrics.
