One time I had a nightmare about aberdeen-music.com....but thats was a long time ago and I'm willing to forgive you all....because many of you were there!

It's been great for meeting new people - the amount of people you meet in moshulu etc these days and you find out you know them from them boards is quite amusing. Have certainly gained a large network of new friends through these boards (not sure if that's a good or bad thing at times ... I mean... er.. nah it's all good)

Getting work - wouldn't have started flyering for Moshulu had it not been for communications via this website. Getting drinking money each week is most certainly a good thing.

And obviously, last but most importantly:
Finding out when the good gigs are on and keeping up to date with all the news from aberdeen bands, venues and promoters is fantastic, you just wouldn't be able to be so "in the know" if everything had to be by word of mouth, posters and press releases. This website bridges the gaps, and allows you to find these things out as soon and they're announced or sometimes as soon as they're even confirmed. It also allows you to check finer details by just asking in the same thread etc, which is very useful.

The fact bands can also communicate with each other to get gigs, and do some of the actual organisation on here is another bonus to add to the many pros of having this website available.

Makes you wonder what it'd be like if you didn't know about or have access to aberdeen-music at times.

All in all, I enjoy posting on here, I enjoy reading people's posts, I enjoy being able to find out the exact particulars of gigs I want to go to.

And that's about it...

Viva le Aberdeen-music...

I have discovered a wide variety of local bands through use of this site since 2002.

Who would have thought that looking for info on the aberdeen music scene while i should have been revising for my finals would have led this far?!?!

I have also met many really cool and interesting people through the site, and have found others who share similar music, movie and leisure interests where previously we might never have met.

All in all, this site is a fantastic community, giving local bands the kind of exposure that you just can't buy elsewhere, and has helped people like me find some real hidden treasures in the aberdeen music scene.

In short, I don't know what the hell anybody's problem with the concept of this site is. There may be a few dodgers in the mix, but you'll get them in all walks of life. In short, if you're going to highlight the negative, you have to acknowledge the positive and there's far more of the latter.

The defence rests m'lud.

Aberdeen-music.com helps 'Hog' get laid.


















I think...

[Hogisbald]

lol, I was waiting for that ha ha.

Well, Aberdeen-music, its firstly (in my eyes), a decent place to start if you want to get a band off the going. Its a great place to chat about music. I have met loads of cool people from this site that I otherwise wouldnt know.

In a sense, Ab-music is like an Online,music related Yellow Pages.

i have met a large amount of good mates from this forum and this always makes moshulu more fun. It has also always been great for letting us know about gigs and getting into new bands via music links. its also fun to read when an argument breaks out

[jester1470]

I've made a lot of good friends like Hog and Cloud through this site that have moved into real life, i also got involved in various ventires through this site that I would never have done before and it has led to many free cuips of tea at the bassment/moshulu

Of course its cliquey and some people come across better than others but thats what everything is like.

Cheers

Aberdeen Music has not only been a great source for music gig but it has helped widened my taste in music.
Many friends has been gained since joining this and our band wouldn't have exist if it wasn't for this site.

Because of this site Onion Terror gigs are well-attended, and due to the heavy traffic and the use of our own forum word of a gig or anything else gets around fast. The social aspect, from the yearly barbeque to the weekly night at moshulu are much more enjoyable and about the only bad thing regarding the site is that you end up calling people by their user names. Anyone who decides to abuse or moan about the site is completely forgetting what it's all about, and doesn't deserve the use of such a fantastic tool.

Aberdeen-Music is awesome, i dont post very often, but i browse it about 4 times daily, and i like seeing what everyone has to say. Its great for buying/selling as i bought both my basses and sold my amp over the equipment forum.
The arguements which frequently break out are also great entertainment.
what would i do without this place, i ask myself...

Regards,
Bob
