SmoothedShredder Posted July 6, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 6, 2005 I'm talking about what Burt said about the nature of Criticizm on Message Boards and how it acts like a poison to up and comming acts... and how it suggests, that if your a band, you should just advertize on message boards, and not participate, because there are people that will eat you alive... Oh well, personally I'd like to talk directly to the artist sometime, even on a message board... but supposidly a message board is not a safe enough place to do that for a musician trying to make that... seem's a little diseased for me... since we are willing to pay money to have them amplify their views in our ears for an hour plus. Anywho... I'd elaborate... but I'm sure there's enough meat to keep the wolves happy... I know I'm lickin' my chops already Peace, ~W PS good work on the Photo... I'll try to read the article when I get some newstand time... or is there an online link... yeah... I'm a lazy bastard... actually... I'll just go look now... ~W Just my two cents...

ersh Posted July 6, 2005 Report Share Posted July 6, 2005 Hi smoothedshredder.Jeff from BNB here. Haven't read the article yet myself... been having a hard time trying to find a copy. Shane has been very kind to us over the years in including our band in his writings.... and I congratualte him on his Relix feature. When he first interviewed me back in 2001, he told me he wanted to be the next Dean Budnick! He's well on his way.Got a question? Feel free to ask - Mike and I are regular posters on this board and our own. I believe Shane used us in the article because of some unfortunate occurances with our band and message boards back 4 years ago or so. I never got around to answering Shane's questions for that article that he emailed me... but kind of wished I had.We received lots of very nasty comments online in 2001 and 2002 regarding some decisions we'd made. Emotions were high and a few of us, myself included, lashed back a few times on the boards. Looking back it was not the right approach to dealing with the situation we'd put ourselves in. I have regrets.I've lightened up on the whole thing these days, although I am careful what I write... as everyone should be. At the other end of these user names are real people with real emotions. Sometimes we forget that.Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SmoothedShredder Posted July 6, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 6, 2005 Yeah for sure... seems like everytime someone lays a line down here it's like a powder keg... {sorry Del} I'm fairly new here, and pretty positive about music in general... I'm surprised at how negative the focus is on many threads, but still find this place the best community to find info on the music I like... still, I'm naieve to the whole thing... don't even know where to buy my marshmallow overcoat... seriously though... I looked for the article on the way home... save a tree, and lets get it online maybe? Or not, either way it's cool . Totally dig your band... and I dig that Olmer Album too... that's some great songwriting!!! Peace, ~W Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Velvet Posted July 6, 2005 Report Share Posted July 6, 2005 The other day a friend of mine said "I hate Tony D (a local blues guitar player)". I was shocked, as I work with Tony and he's an awesome guy.He was talking music, I was talking people.What a funny little world we live in.

SmoothedShredder Posted July 6, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 6, 2005 (edited) "I hate Tony D (a local blues guitar player)". wow, the h-bomb... everytime I hear that word everything which usually follows sounds like Japanese Ear Cleasning Music. People can be so reckless with what they say... we should always talk of 'people', musicians are not commodities, what the fuck is music anyway, and is it so much more important than the person to always cut them up, or say you 'hate' them?~W Edited July 6, 2005 by Guest Insert Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pick it up at our shows if you get a chance.I tried to read the article online but there's no link at the website. I'll get to it soon....Glad to hear Scott's got a shot in there too.

I was shocked, as I work with Tony and he's an awesome guy.He was talking music, I was talking people.What a funny little world we live in.Yeah, that was a very old and uneducated personal impression that I know now was completely wrong.

bouche Posted July 6, 2005 Report Share Posted July 6, 2005 that was the start of a lot of craziness, not the catalyst. There is a post about jeff leaving the band, and posts about BnB breaking up.
