Man you guys get some pretty good gigs...I'm playi'n dives that seat like
50 people max and Saturday night there's like 8 people there.
Were' not Led Zeppelin either but were pretty good. I take home an
average of 100-150 a night. We play 1/2 times a month.
Course I'm playing the outer-suburbs too but it's not like it
used to be though either I guess. OH well....I'm just not the
"rock star" I used to be ;D

OH well....I'm just not the "rock star" I used to be ;D Hey don't sweat it nofx, I'm pretty much in the same boat. For some reason this year things have finally been coming together and we have been hooked up with some really great gigs. On a normal basis we play the same 1-2 times a month and I take home an average of about $10 per gig!!!! Its all ticket based sales so we don't make sqaut...but.....I get to play MY songs and I wouldn't have it any other way (unless I was getting paid alot to play my songs:). Most of the time we are playing small-medium sized clubs with 5-20 people also. I have stepped up my marketing and networking and it has really payed off. Its just alot of work on top of having a life and a full time job. |

I do admit that I wish I was making some money from playing instead of losing money. For all the work I put into it I could have made alot of money doing something else that was finiancially productive...but...I really love making my own music and it's worth more than any money I could make. It gives my life some purpose and I feel like I am contributing something to human emotions even if its disgust and pity occasionally:)

Hi Vom, I agree that Tracii is a douche. But what's the story between you two? I tried to do a search but can't find anything about you two on here. I know when my band played with him and Brides he was semi nice. But I did tell him his guitar playing wasn't that great on the cd. He just ignored me from then. Payback from when we played with him while he was still in LA Guns.Total prick. Nikki was cool as always. So what's the story/

So I get "he's a prick" and "he's kinda cool" so we'll see when I play with him which one it is to me. I'm guessing the former since I am younger and will probably have more hot chicks around me ;D ;D
