This will be the last part on “Why I don’t get along with a lot of musicians out there”. Yeah, so I don’t get along with a lot of musicians out there. A lot of ’em dislike me for whatever reason.

Honestly, I think they’re just intimidated by my online presence. Why do a lot of them feel intimidated? Well, for a lot of reasons. As I explained previously… jealousy and ego is a small part of it, always. They also think I’m a bit weird and crazy. Maybe a little delusional. Maybe I am admittedly but it’s normal and okay to be that way. Other musicians are no different, ya know? In reality, we’re all weird, crazy, and delusional… that includes me. They will never admit it. They will always think they are better than you. The last thing you want to do is let them think they’re better than you.

Some musicians out there really get off on bullying and making fun of me a lot. You know, picking on me. Kind of like a bully picking on a kid in high school. I get that a lot over the years by other musicians. They get obsessed with it and they won’t quit. Why? It’s because they are losers with nothing better to do. They do it because they find it entertaining and funny. Period. It’s just their way of looking for a good laugh.

I tried to warn musicians that’s not a good way to treat other musicians like that. It’ll affect their professionalism and reputation… they’re not even realizing it. Sure enough, they never listen. Instead of focusing on their own music like making albums and playing shows, they get so obsessed with making fun of me. They get off on saying so much bullshit about my personal life, criticize my music and bash me as a person quite a lot.

They think it’s okay and they think they have every right to be doing what they are doing. When bands do this stuff, they are nothing to me. They’re dead to me… I’ll no longer associate with them online or off. I’ll stop listening to their music and going to their shows. They won’t have any contact with me whatsoever.

I have no time for negative people like this, ya know?

A lot of ’em also aren’t happy with the way I post online over the years like with online local forums. Some refuse to talk with me online and off. Like I previously explained, some musicians believe I’m a troll and a hateful person.

So you ask, what is the point of me writing these “Why I Don’t Get Along With a lot of musicians out there”… posts. Why do I have to explain myself when I shouldn’t?

I’m just explaining my views of what I don’t really like our music scene too much. Explaining to you of where I’m coming from so hopefully you’ll understand.

Once again, not all musicians dislike me. Some of them stayed loyal and supportive to me over the years no matter what happened and I’m grateful for that. When you see stuff like that… they are adult acting musicians and very professional acting. A lot of musicians think they are “professional” acting around here but they don’t know what “professional” is at all.

When you want to become part of your local music scene you can’t expect to get some kind of approval from every musician out there. NOT EVERYONE IS GONNA LIKE YOU. Period. Once again for thousandth time, you can’t please everybody, ya know?

When you want to play your music, get your songs out there… you don’t want to share your music with other musicians. It’s a good thing to do but you don’t want to do that. What you want to do is create your own following. Your own fanbase. No matter how much hate you get, there will always be some people who will like you. That’s the kind of audience you want to attract. You don’t want to attract a bunch of assholes. You want to attract people who will like you and appreciate who you are. You will get them. The true fans.

The thing with local musicians is that they think they can control you as a person. They usually want your personality of how they want to be. The last thing you want to do is change for them. You don’t have to be how they want to be. As you can see, I never allowed other musicians think they can change me. I was always the same guy and still am. If they don’t like it and if they can’t appreciate who you are, fuck each and every one of them. Seriously.

Just worry about your own music. Keep on keepin’ on. Let ’em hate. Haters are gonna hate.

Keep playing your music and you’ll get even more respect from musicians and other non-musicians. When other musicians hate, it is usually jealousy and ego. Nothing more. They just try to get more attention off of your popularity. That’s why they do it.

Hope you enjoyed these posts as I certainly had fun writing them.
