I am happy and proud that any band or solo artist want to achieve their dreams and go forward in their careers. I am not jealous of any of them at all. What I can’t stand is how a lot of them respond to people online when they do get bigger. It’ll only hurt you professionally… in other words, bands showing their anger online and losing their tempers at people, especially toward the ones who were nothing but supportive and helpful to them. The successful bands have always had a problem of defending themselves online through social networking, bloggers, and critics.

You see, when you get big in music… you can’t reply to the critics and bloggers. You can’t really respond to anything.

Usually, the more bigger and more successful and established musicians wouldn’t care about the drama and negative bullshit online. They don’t have time for that stuff and they would be focusing on their careers on a full time schedule. I’m sure other successful bands and artists around this area won’t like me or won’t like what I have to say online but they don’t use the internet to vent about my web presence ’cause they have better things to do. Like making their music, playing their gigs and all that stuff.

Why aren’t you doing the same? When the more successful bands respond to my web presence like making fun of me or bullying me publicly, they are not a real musician. I’ll look at them as “rock stars in their own delusional mind”. I’ve had this problem before of successful musicians replying to me in an aggressive way. It’s nothing new to me and it still happens.

The thing is, some musicians like to call themselves “professionals”. Well it’s not professional when you respond to the critics online. Sorry but that’s the truth. I understand that bands get kind of upset over my opinions and thoughts about the local music scene but I have every right to be honest and real about this stuff all I want to.

Let me tell ya something. If you guys wanna move forward to bigger careers like possibly get signed to a small indie label or whatever… you’re going to get a lot more bloggers and critics writing stuff about your band or whatever. Not everyone in the music industry is gonna like you. Just something to keep in mind, right? If that’s all you gonna do is respond to the online critics defending yourselves, then you don’t have what it takes to make it big in the industry.

The bigger you get, you really have to have a professional attitude at all times. You really can’t be yourself as much as you would like to. You have to leave your ego at the door and respect all criticism of any kind.

I wish these so called “musicians” wouldn’t have to worry about what I have to say online. If that’s all their gonna do is obsess with my web presence even if they don’t like me, then they aren’t as successful as they claim they are. If they think they are so “successful” in this area and so big, I want them to prove me wrong. Stay busy with your music and only concentrate on that. Don’t worry about me. Worry about your music.

I wish noting but the best for all of them. Stop replying to my blog and just do your thing. The more you respond with your anger, the more it’s gonna turn me off and I’ll stop supporting your music altogether. I stopped supporting a lot of bands and solo musicians music ’cause of their unprofessional attitude. They think they’re “professional” but they don’t even know what it is. Just amatuers living in dreamland.

This post isn’t aimed at anyone in particular, I’m only giving kind advice to all bands and artists. Of course, if you disagree with it, I would only get called a hateful jealous little troll.

Best of luck with your music ’cause you’re gonna need it.
