    people who drive at 40 in 30 then proceed to drive at 40 in a 50 arrrrrrrrrrgggghhhhhhhhhhhhhh pure raging.

  2. heh' date=' i love these threads. everyone has such different ideas of what constitutes 'making it' that it renders them completely pointless. to me making it was being able to record 3 songs i believed in and being proud of the results and having people i don't know say they enjoyed it. i really don't see why a band needs a manager to make it either. it's just another person to rip you off. fair enough if it's someone you trust implicitly and who can help you and is in it for the music but most managers seem to be in it for the money but that's another thread entirely.

    for us the only aim we have is to release an album and be entirely proud of every song on it and for the record label to get distribution so that people can buy it. if that happens then we'll be made. i just wanna go into a shop anywhere in the country and ask about our cd and the staff will be able to find it on their computer. that'd be cool. it'd be even cooler if there was a wee board with our name on it in the cd's but that's wishful thinking.

    if you wanna aim for top of the pops and a number one album then there's nothing stopping you, frankly anyone can do that if you right a decent pop song and get the right breaks(and work your fucking arse off) and there's no reason why a band in aberdeen can't do it but i can't think of anyone who's going to off the top of my head. bands who could very easily be 'signed' and get a bit of press though would certianly include, maple, eric euan, my minds weapon, politik, masamune, staccatto set(though ziggy lives in glasgow now i think), aka the fox and probably a good half dozen more. it all depends on your idea of success though really. i think aka the fox could probably be absolutley huge if they got the right gigs.

    at the end of the day do it for your own reasons and not for how others perceive success, if all you wanna do is play drakes and you'll be happy then do that and if you'll only be happy once you've had a top 40 album and single then go for that but it's got to be fun doing it and it has to be something you believe in or it's all just crap.

    incidentally i bought the maple album today and have to say it's one of the finest things i've purchased in ages, worth the 6 year wait! :)[/quote']

    yeh you hit the nail on the head.

    it just depends on how far you want to make it and your personal ambitions.

  3. yeh i agree with the showmanship and great songs and of course you need to have a degree of talent, but its no use being able to play like steve vai when you can't write a good song, therefore if you have got the ambition and drive to make it to the top then that might carry you through.

    im not sure about the management side but you need someone whos not going to screw you over.

  4. i'm really not too sure if there are any local bands that will make it, at the moment at least, although i would love to be proven wrong.

    ok fair enough you do have to sound original and not be jumping on the band wagon of your fav bands but you also need the hooks.

    the melody and the catchy hooks appeal to the masses and if your gonna make it big then thats what uve gotta have.

    i haven't really seen alot of aberdeen bands with the hooks, when i leave im whistling their tunes, you know what i mean?

    one band i did like was liber8 that song summer was ace!! now thats a hook you could leave the show singing woah oh oh oh. yeh thats what im talking about.

  5. Yeah' date=' opinions are there to be debated u twat, if they werent then theyd be fact, "nipple boy" :rolleyes:[/quote']

    well your technique of debating is pretty shite to be honest. you come across like your opinion is right and wasted space is a retard for liking the song love buzz.

    you could have said this:

    first of all i'd like to thank you for spending time posting on my thread because you really didn't need to. I see you like nirvana's version of love buzz well what makes it so good that it made your top 5 because i don't really think it is one of their best songs but that is my humble opinion. please enlighten me and maybe once ive heard your reasons for why it is a good song i might be opened minded enough to consider it and not totally disregard it straight away. then you can hear my reasons for why i don't like it and maybe we can start some sort of debate because thats what opinions are for, to be debated you twat.

    and not just say:

    How on earth is Love Buzz in there?!?!?!

    because that just makes you sound like an arrogant fuck. :up:

  6. Does anyone know who are supporting Green day in Glasgow in February? I heard new found glory were supporting them but they arent bothering coming to aberdeen :swearing: fucking dicks. So anyone know?

    i would be pretty shit if new found glory turned up in aberdeen to support the greenday show in glasgow, that is true.

    i also heard it was sugarcult, having seen them at moshulu not so long ago i can say that they will get the crowd jumping and crowd surfing.

    although i'm not really a fan but still enjoyed their gig.

  7. yeh its ace, last night i derailed a train by taking a corner too fast, ate til i puked, got tattoos bought a stopwatch on a chain so that i now look like i'm in P.E.

    pumped iron killed a few folk played basketball danced played videogames and in between did some missions too.
