One thing that local & unsigned musicians love to do online is slam the national music industry. They talk a lot of negative shit about today’s bands & artists. When I look at all this, I kind of scratch my head and say to myself, “Why”?

I can think of one word that can describe all this perfectly, and yes, you can guess it. That one word, is “jealousy”. It has, “jealousy” written all over their faces when non-famous musicians bash the national music industry. They just don’t want to admit that they want the fame and the rock star lifestyle. They all want to get signed to major record labels, release albums nationally and go on world tours.

If that’s what they all want, then they must work harder and go after it. Fame for musicians around here can be possible, they need to stop dreaming and make it happen.

I appreciate today’s music and the national industry ’cause we wouldn’t be playing instruments and doing what we do, if it weren’t for famous bands. There are still today’s artists that inspires me as a musician.

We all may have freedom of speech and we have our own opinions when it comes to music, but if you’re a musician you must appreciate all music. If you want to become a successful musician, you can’t be a negative nancy when it comes to famous artists. I’m not forcing you to like all music, we all have a right to dislike some ’cause there artists that I don’t like myself, but you should at least respect their talent.

I’m real tired of the way people respond to certain music artists like Metallica for example. I may not like pop, R&B or rap, but I respect what they do.

Musicians needs to be careful of what they post on the internet. Simply because record labels will not want to sign them if they’re doing nothing but talking shit about bands online. Record labels look for professionalism as well.

Just some things to think about. I like to treat most music in a positive direction as you can probably tell.
