There’s a lot of musicians online, that enjoy getting into debates, ranting & raving about things. Of course, musicians talking about politics is the most popular. Then all this negative drama will start online. It’s been this way with unsigned musicians on the internet for years. You see musicians talking shit about other musicians & bands. They also like to discuss things that goes on in the news. Facebook is good evidence of all this of what I’m talking about.
I think it’s because, that they play an instrument or if they sing, they think it makes them smart in some way. It makes them feel important, and just because they’re a musician, they think they’re respected by everyone around them. It’s an ego kind of thing for sure.
Every musician wants to think they’re so great and special. It’s crazy, I know.
I understand freedom of speech, but if you all want to be a successful musician and reach for your dreams, then you must stop the bull shittin’ and focus on the music. Many of them don’t sadly. Why do you think they’re still doing what they’re doing?
Of course, people will tell me to look in the mirror and probably will call me a hypocrite, I don’t do music professionally. It’s just for fun and a hobby like I always say. I just want to see other musicians do their thing.
If you put your music career in a negative direction, you’re not going to get much out of it. Which is called, karma. I know from experience and learning from my mistakes. If you work on the music and focus on that only, you’ll get good things coming up ahead. That’s good karma.
That’s what I’ve been doing. Working on my music, trying to become a better guitarist/singer. Hopefully, try to write new songs which is what I’ve been doing. I remember watching Ultimate Warrior’s “It Does Matter” videos, he says if you want to be successful in your life, he said, “Do the Work”. I agree with him totally. By not talking about it and doing the actual work, will get you somewhere in life.
If all these musicians want to get recognized for their talent, then they must do the work, yet, I see them in facebook bullshittin’. Sad but true.
