any musician HATE playing live?[views:7403][posts:43]___________________________________________ [Dec 15,2007 10:50pm - sans the whimsy ""] it used to be a thrill for me to get some kind of a response from a crowd while playing a gig. now, i couldnt care less. honestly, i dont even GO to shows.... nothing lives up to recordings :NOD: |

| ______________________________________ [Dec 16,2007 12:06am - Horror_Tang ""] I take offense to that. You did not capitalize Dimebag and That. Furthermore, You need an extra space before starting your next sentence. |
| ___________________________________________ [Dec 16,2007 12:13am - davefromthegrave ""] omg! you are correct! how stupid of me! Please, post pjhotos of yourself next to girls half your age so that I may know that women do in fact hang out with you sometimes. |

| __________________________________________ [Dec 17,2007 9:51am - largefreakatzero ""] Playing live = fun. Moving and transporting equipment = not fun. |
| __________________________________ [Dec 17,2007 9:59am - brian_dc ""] [rant]I'll preface this by saying that yes, I'm in a band that happens to appeal to a younger crowd and in that sense you make your own bed. However, I will say that occasionally we will play a show where it's one of those deals where 75% of the people there are there for a friends band and just hang out outside the venue the whole time and act like shitheads. That bums me out...but...it is fun to play those shows, because honestly playing angry can be a lot more fun and a lot more therapeutic than playing with a smile on my face like I usually do. It's just a bummer because most of those shows would be amazing if the kids just had a little more passion for what was going on. [/rant] |

| _________________________________________ [Dec 17,2007 11:55am - brad weymouth ""] I hate dragging the gear around, especially 8X10 cabs. Fuck those things sideways in a hailstorm. |
| ________________________________ [Dec 17,2007 1:19pm - xmikex ""] I hate hauling gear, I hate selling merch, I hate the constant scrounging around for shows to play... But I love traveling for shows, and I love playing live for a fun crowd way way better than any recording. |
| _________________________________ [Dec 17,2007 1:37pm - sxealex ""] i like playing live and traveling alot. i don't hate moving gear that much just sometimes i dont feel like doing it or the location sux balls to get into. but once its all packed up it feels good that you did it. |
| _________________________________________ [Dec 17,2007 3:01pm - SacreligionNLI ""] moving gear only sucks ass at a few places so i don't mind that. playing live is a good time, although the aftermath to my neck and shoulders could be missed |

| ____________________________________ [Dec 19,2007 7:50am - immortal13 ""] I agree with Brian. I also hate when there's a lot of people at a show, but then after the bands they wanted to see finish, they just leave regardless of how many other bands there are. I've played shows when people stick around for the first band and then leave. Is that really worth $10? Another thing I hate is we played one show where there were a lot of people inside for the band before us, and everyone went outside when we played, and then came back in when we finished. The worst part about that was that it was pay to get back in. Damn hardcore kids. But, if you play a show in front of the right crowd then it's one of the best feelings in the world. It's just finding those right shows that sucks and is a stressor. |
| _______________________________ [Dec 19,2007 9:11am - troll ""] Vaudeville folks....Vaudeville. |
| _______________________________ [Dec 19,2007 9:15am - troll ""] Actually, I did use to enjoy playing live at one point. Not these days. |
| ______________________________________ [Dec 19,2007 9:54am - GoatCatalyst ""] Sounds to me like someone has never: a) played a Deathstravaganza / blasphecue at DFTG's, b) played with Rich Horror present, or c) had a nice pair of strange titties serendipitously displayed for their viewing pleasure while rockin' out. Condolences. |
| ___________________________________________ [Dec 19,2007 10:09am - sans the whimsy ""] a) nope b) possibly? cant remember... c) ive played for tits (and NOT strange ones, at that). but if thats all playing live is for you, be my guest. ive played for both crowds that were insane for my music and crowds that gave golf claps at the end of songs. i guess i'm just trying to further the idea that I need NO feedback for MY music. I want to create ONLY for MYSELF. The next project I start WILL NOT end up on Myspace, I will not post it ANYWHERE on the web, and I will not submit it to ANY reviewers. I might give away copies to people who seem worthy of owning one, but, we'll see. NOTHING.LIVES.UP.TO.A.RECORDING. |
| ___________________________________ [Dec 19,2007 10:46am - brian_dc ""] for some bands you are correct for other bands you are exactly wrong |
| ___________________________________________ [Dec 19,2007 11:02am - corpus_colostomy ""] this is like saying: "I enjoy masturbation but I do not like sex anymore." to say that nothing beats a recording is retarded. REAL bands and GREAT musicians have something to offer live AND via recording- if you suck live, but kill in the studio, with re-take after re-take, pro-tools, loops and engineers, shit..what the fuck is so special about that? |

| _____________________________ [Dec 19,2007 6:13pm - pam ""] Playing shows was my favorite part of being in a band, but I'm not a musician so I have nothing much to compare it to. Maybe I just enjoyed the excuse to get hammered and verbally abuse people. |
