Well just like modern country, you just copy pasted the same idea for likes.

I think we may have given the site the hug of death.

I’ll need to check it out later, because that sounds really interesting.

Rage always gets the rage out for me

Give me one reason is an all-time favorite.

Bo Burnham has a song about this that I think you’d like . Bo Burnham- Country Song.

And they still talk music with you.

What’s so ‘great’ about Creep is that it’s easily accessible by a large cross-section of society. I don’t think discerning listeners think it’s all that great. The song itself, pretty good and catchy. Several notches down from most of their work. It’s not at the bottom, but probably lowest quarter.

So here the thing if he writes all the material he id going to have alot of influence of over the band. If you want to change front men someone else is gonna have to start contributing writing wise.

didnt i just see this post

Because you did. Just copypaste!

Hey dude! Don't be afraid.

Bands are funny things aren’t they, like you end up playing with a group of people and you build this connection with so it can be kinda hard to say or suggest stuff. Ultimately I think it comes down to just how invested you are in the band, what it means to you and how seriously you wanna take it.

I definitely advocate for suggesting something and giving people time to think on things. You’ve had this thought and have sat and stewed on it for a while now, but the other people haven’t. So give them time to think stuff over as well. People need to digest stuff and take stuff in and process info.

A few examples of famous band dynamics:

The Who- Roger Daltry was the front man, but Pete Townsend wrote the music and lyrics.

R.E.M. - At the beginning Micheal Stipe was an incredibly shy and awkward front man. He would even turn his back to the crowd during early gigs, lots of mumbly vocals. There’s an early tv appearance of them on Lettermen where Stipe hides away after they finish playing so he doesn’t have to deal with the cost chat with Dave.

He also openly admits to not knowing what he was doing when they were recording early albums and whenever they asked him to do a retake and gave advice, he didn’t understand so he would just sing it differently. Point is, people can grow and develop. That’s however not always the case, but it can happen.

They also always spilt the writing credits evenly between them all. Berry/Buck/Mills/Stipe.

Sonic Youth- Kinda spilt the vocal duties 3 ways. Maybe Thurston was the band leader, but I wouldn’t say he was the front man.

Point is, is that it’s your band. You get to create the dynamic. Sometimes awkward, tough conversations are needed- comes back to how seriously you are taking it.

As a singer and frontman…

I need my people to tell me when I sound bad. I have a lot of range and can go a lot of different directions with my sound, but that lead to issues in itself. If I need to change modes, I need to be told. I don’t always hear it myself. Not sure how your relationship is, but my people will tell me if I need to do something else.

Now, they won’t just say, yo that sucks. They tend to be more subtle than that. Like, maybe try your Elvis voice on this one. Or go goblin mode, you’re not high enough. Or hey, do that thing. Or whatever they need to say to get me on track.

I feel like I saw this posted nearly word for word about a week ago. I mean I don’t disagree or anything. Just weird.

I've listened to the album plenty over the last 30 years and it's still dreadful, I think they were lucky to get a second album, fortunately they blew it out of the galaxy with the bends.

AFK records in Virginia Beach is still that place. The owner is there most days and is really tuned in to all genres of current and old releases. His staff is pretty knowledgeable and even the younger staff will help with some research and leg work if they don’t know. Folks working the shift are in charge of the turntable (as it should be). Also has a really well curated book store attached to it so if you have an SO not into a day of album browsing, there’s books too. It’s a happy place.

Ooof I’ve been there. You need to have a band meeting about it. Start out by saying this is not a personal issue, it’s a band issue. If you (plural) are serious about the band, you need to take steps to make things better as a whole. Things like performances, make sure we’re hitting our cues, not staring at the guitar necks, etc. then broach the topic of singing. My gut tells me he’s not exactly confident in his abilities either. Tell him he has to let go and be engaging and ENTERTAINING, not just fill notes. Have the other guys chime in that you’ve received bad feedback and want to make it better. Then tell him you love the songs but can we explore having a dedicated singer? Make sure he gets a composer rights to the songs in return. Win win.

A Wilhelm Scream - Career Suicide.

Get mad you son of a bitch

Go listen to Blow Out, it’s definitely better than Creep, and while it still has a bit of ‘old Radiohead’ sound, the song itself is top half of The Bends good

Hahaha now that comment was awesome. Here's your gold medal for my favorite comment good sir or madam🥇

Gotta be Far Beyond Driven by Pantera. Served me well over the years.

Let the people decide!

Relax, he is cooking up the greatest album of all time. The wait will be worth it.
