I would do anything, anything at all, to have a 10th of that success. Unfortunately, despite the hours, and hours, and hours, and hours of practicing, going to berklee, playing with everyone I possibly can, and the hours and hours and hours of networking over the years, none of it matters, because I'm not rail thin, I don't have a doochbag holier-than-thou attitude, and I don't have cool hair, as someone pointed out earlier.
Knock a band like that when you're at a similar level.
I can't. I would die to experience just one day they way they do. But I never will. |
Wow, you`re full of excuses. There are a lot of guys that are rail thin, have goatees, long beautiful hair, look prettier than their gfs and can fake the rock god thing but they still live with their parents and they`re 30. They even get lucky twice a month with their gfs.
Truth is, you could lose weight if you wanted to.
You could improve your playing if you wanted to.
You could make all the connections if you wanted to.
But its no guarantee that you`re going to have 1/10th of their success so enjoy the ride.
If you`re unhappy with things, change them, only you can.
Sorry about the self help talk but sometimes we need to be reminded... WE MUST BECOME THE CHANGE WE SEEK IN THE WORLD.
Something tells me, NB would still be rocking out hard if they had no success.
Thats the new attitude you want to acquire. ROCK OUT NO MATTER WHAT. Wear your heart on your sleeve. Stay true.
Peace,
