Stray Cat Posted November 22, 2005 Report Share Posted November 22, 2005 I simply 100% disagree.Easy jets to london can cost you �30 a pop in advance.Kids... get a gig booked' date=' get on a plane.No excuses.End of.The problem with most aberdeen bands is they are too lazy to do this. Look at weapon, they've been whizzing up and down the country and what's happened? They are getting somewhere. They have worked for it and they deserve it.[/quote']Agreed. Gigs don't come to you. You have to work for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
betamax Posted November 22, 2005 Report Share Posted November 22, 2005 is ''artsy'' a new word?a lazy way for people in rock to describe everything else thats new sounding and therefor un-rock?rock is truly dead but Im sure we shouldnt just bracket a whole range of new styles together as ''arsty'' just because the songs are not about bumming Satan or drinking whisky on a highway in Alabama (with the Devil no doubt)......theres a lot more to it than that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bladeola Posted November 22, 2005 Report Share Posted November 22, 2005 thing is, five years has a point, bands from here are geographically fucked. what weapon have proved is that you have to work as hard as them to get even where they are. you realise how much of a fraction bands from down south (generally, im being general people,) have to do what weapon have done? Dusty, your point is invalid mate because Driveblind are NEVER here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dizzy Storm Posted November 22, 2005 Report Share Posted November 22, 2005 too many bands are caught up in the scene here and not looking at Scotland and the UK as a whole.agreed to an extent. but then i also think that you are caught up in chasing fame (not meant as an insult) and are struggling to see it from other bands perspectives. many bands round here are not interested in being on MTV, having a gazillion friends on myspace, and whatever else happens when you are on the ladder to recognition etcmany are more happy to ply their trade and have a bucketload of fun. if an indie wants to put their record out then bonus (see copy ha ho forthcoming release on pet piranaha records, hookers green on snowstorm, small enclosed area on hackpen, the fat hippy bands etc etc) most bands in aberdeen have been out playing in other cities, i could name a fair list of bands who have, just because they dont send 4/5 messages on myspace/splatter it over here about it does not mean they have not been away etcsome people just dont take their bands as their lifethis in no way a dig at you or mmw, just merely providing a perspective from others point of view. im sure you know better than most how things work at local leveledited Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your post generally is excellent. I do feel however that you have misunderstood what my points were. I wasnt having a dig at bands that have no ambition to be all what you said and seem to think MMW want to be. My point was merely on a musical level about styles of bands and how good they are. The ones that pull the most tend to be, in my eyes the ones that are working hardest. This usually means they practice the most and belive in themselves more therefore are often the best bands. These are usually the bands that use whatever means of promotion they can as well. Of course its about fun. I agree 100%. The minute I stop having fun I get out of what Im doing as its not right. You made a point about bands being peoples lives. Thats just it. Im in no way ramming my opinion down anyones throat anymore than another user on here. Music and my band IS my life so we will pust things and take things as far as we can. You know me and you know my attitude towards everything at a local level and im the guy that makes three trips for a friends band in my car to get gear, im the guy that will not care about being cool and telling everyone how awesome my friends band is and to stay around even if there is ten people. You know this. You also know im EXTREMELY passionate about music and a VERY ambitious person. Just because i come from the school of wanting the whole world to hear our music doesnt mean that i would comprimise any integrity to get that. I do feel that you were heading down the usual road of being suspicious of why MMW are a band. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
