But so many of those bands records are made in LA. Gearslutz is a site primarily for engineers and producers not rockstars. Yeah go to the one city that one of those bands came out of and wait for the next one.....zzzzz
The big KROQ concert this summer is headlined by Tool and Linken Park, both LA bands and co-headlined by AIC which was a band that played LA before breaking big, I know I opened up for them. Their demo was being run up and down LA. Next week I'm going to see Incubus, another LA band. Now I know Incubus and Tool are not as great a band as Fall Out Boy... Ooooops.
Who cares. How many people on this thread make a full time living as a pro? That I'd like to know, to qualify peoples opinions. I haven't had a real job in nearly 15 years, if I was living in a satellite city I'm not sure I could say that. I grew up in Florida, yeah they had some big bands come out in the 90's but the area as a whole still sucks for music.

p.s. And for the comment regarding film and tv bla bla bla. You have that luxury. Go into a meeting with that attitude and they will laugh at you, it's fantasy. Film and TV is one the only vehicles left for bands. Most all labels look to music placement to fund young bands. It's a big thing. I have spent the past 2 years working on a daily basis with and for American Idol, when you want to talk serious then we'll talk but if you just want to bullshit around on a forum I'm busy.
