Don’t you just love it that when a band or solo artist do become huge and successful in your local area, they think they’re something special and more important? It’s nuts I know. Once they become established and well known, their ego would get a little bigger. This is just local and unsigned music, so it really does not make them any better.

This is the biggest mistake that bands & artists make. This is just my opinion. If you still want to get the respect from the local public, leave your ego at the door. Never act like you’re better than other bands, always act like other bands or musicians are better than you. I don’t think I’m better than other bands & musicians, I know there are a lot of them that are way better than me, musically.

An established and popular band, would get my respect, if they don’t act like a big shot rock star egomaniac. There are too many bands around here that are like that. Not naming names.

My point is, to keep it simple, if you don’t act like a superstar, then you’ll get my respect. Just continue to do your thing, playing the music for the fans that support it. Support other bands & musicians of all levels of talent. Stop acting like you’re better than others, ’cause it certainly is a turn off. I don’t have the time to deal with these kind of bands. If they still act like an unsigned band and not a rock star wannabe, you’ll get my immediate support.
