I understand that musicians who play in bands like internet discussion and they enjoy interacting with people but they must be careful with this stuff especially the more successful and popular bands. When all a musician is gonna do is call out bloggers or critics who give them bad reviews that is not good for them in a professional way. It’ll hurt them professionally in so many ways and let me explain…

There is this certain guy who thinks he can be a critic of mine. That’s his goal and that’s his whole point. I understand what he’s doing but it’s not a good idea for him to do. A guy who fronts a well-known local original band that should be nameless at this time. It’s not professional what he’s doing. What’s he’s doing is that he is criticizing me on two different blogs. One of his own and another anonymous one. I refuse to show links here ’cause those two sites don’t deserve to get promoted, they don’t deserve even more attention. What he’s trying to do is trying to make me look bad publicly. He’s trying to get a discussion going with his supporters and fans. I am noticing that no one is replying to his posts written about me so that’s a good sign that no one else really cares which is good on them. I know he’s just messing with me for fun but it’s not healthy for his professional career in music if he ever had one.

The more he keeps it going and the more he keeps getting obsessed with it, the more it’s gonna hurt his music and hurt his band’s reputation. He thinks he has every right to be doing what he’s doing ’cause he’s hiding behind freedom of speech. That’s all good and cool but when he’s playing music on a professional level, he can’t be doing that stuff.

Look… I know other musicians around the scene don’t like the way I blog at all and I have plenty of musicians who don’t like me but they don’t waste a lot of time trying to call me out. Why? Because it’s not a professional thing for them to do and they know it’ll hurt their careers. They have better things to do and better things to worry about like making their music and playing the gigs.

When bands reply to bloggers and critics… calling them out in an aggressive manner… it could potentially turn a lot of people off. Especially the fans and clubs/venues. More fans could get turned off with their immature behavior and they’ll stop supporting them just like I just did. More clubs/venues could stop booking them.

When you’re a solo artist or a band and you get up to the point where you’re big and successful, you have to ignore all bloggers and critics.

I can’t wait until this certain guy that I speak of gets his first negative review toward his band when they release an album. Let’s see if he can be able to take it ’cause it’s gonna happen. Not everyone is gonna like your band. You will get a few bad reviews from other critics and bloggers.

This is why I believe this guy doesn’t have what it takes to get big and successful if he’s going to continue to act this way. That’s the only reason he started blogs of his own so he can have an opportunity to criticize me. If that’s all he’s going to do, that’s not good for his music and his band as I explained above. It’s a distraction with his music and career.

A shame. I expected more from this guy.

If he keeps this going, his career could go downhill.

I know he’s gonna laugh at my face and disagree with this but everything I said above is the truth. I’ll let him keep it going. I’ll let him wreck his own career. He’s already hurting himself even if he doesn’t realize it.

He really should stop what he’s doing but I have a feeling that he won’t. Anyway, let him keep talking shit… it’s good publicity for my blog. Sometimes bad publicity is good. I used to be a big fan of his music. Was a huge supporter but he lost all respect from me. Respect to him is now gone.
