nganu diay dili mu ganahan ug mga SELL OUT NA BAND?

[[GjB629]]

selling out means turning your back on what you love to do, perform, create.. so kung a band has gone mainstream, ask yourself this: Did they choose to change their sound because they wanted to or did they change because they let outside factors dictate their choices? If the answer is the latter, then, they probably have sold out... anyway, i don't really care about that.. what matters is that, whenever a band is accused of selling out, a million other listeners are turned on to their music... but i still believe that there should always be a certain measure of creativity involved.. dili lang porke magbuhat ka ug kanta na murag otcho-otcho...

nicely said man..


pero para nako di man tingali ka sell-out kung grabe gihapon imong gi himo...

Let's face it.. tanan taw nanginahanglan ug income. And there's a lot of starving musicians out there.. great but starving musicians who relies on their day job to pay for their equipments, recording sessions, etc... a record contract would make their job a lot easier.

calling all indie musicians, artists, songwriters..
let's rise...

i think we should make an indie stronghold here in cebu.. cmon, its hard to survive the music scene if we're not super rich dudes.. so why not let's create ONE platform for us to promote our own original music, get heard..., being in a group with common goals will help us get to our dreams.

ANDOI - maabot ta sa off topic ani pero sa tinuod lang (simang sa tag kadiyot), sa kagrabe sa piracy karon, lisod makabawi ang indie musician sa ilang expenses. Ang mga fans man gud, instead mo support sa banda, di naman nuon mamalit sa album kay magpa kopya na lang. Instead mo bayad ug ticket sa concert, mamukong na nuon.. manghambog pa nga nag gate-crash ra sila.

Makalolo-oy ang musicians. Buot huna hunaon... pila gud ang gasto sa recording.. pila ang mapagawas sa bulsa sa musicians mismo. Then ang album sales ug ilang talent fee sa mga tukar maglisod ug bawi sa hago ug gasto sa pag cut sa ilang record. Lisod gyud bai.

Kanang mga grupo grupo sa banda.. people have tried to di it. Preha sa SCUM ug SRA... they were successful pero to a certain extent lang. It's so easy to say "RISE, UNITE, ACT!!" pero ug wa kay supporta sa imong masa/following, wala gihapon.

Anyhow.. what matters is that we enjoy what we do.. signed or not, getting paid or not.. bahalag di makabawi sa gasto sa jamming/recording/equipments/pamlete, payts ra.. lingaw man... di ra ikaw ang malingaw, malingaw pa ang uban taw.

coz people or listeners dili sila ganahan sa genre or style sa music kay nag stick lang sila og 1 genre kung heavy, heavy ra jud ila ganahan mao na dili sila ka appreciate sa mga sell out na mga banda labi na kung naa sila sa mainstream

LOL ... same here bai. I've been playing in bands for almost 20 years na. Bisag karon sige lang gihapon ug tukar. Do I hope to get signed sometime in the near future? Oh yes! Pero, on the other hand, I'm also very realistic that the chances of that happening is very slim. But realizing that, it still won't stop me from playing music `cause that's one of the things I enjoy in life. Getting a record deal won't complete me as a musician, but getting a record deal might make life easier.
