I was rooting through the internet (yet again) for some good readin' and came across some very insightful and most hilarious takes on what's happening in the music biz these days:

On Rockstar SuperNova:
Is it me or is Tommy......?
Is Tommy slowly morphing into 1991 era Vanilla Ice?? WTF? Plus Motley scalps their own tickets on their website. To hell with these dinosaurs. Remember when a Metallica fan would beat up a Motlety fan? Now people from both bands are together? What planet have I landed on? Puh-leaze!

Observations on bands:

If you are in a band and you do any of the following you should think about getting another job, because you suck at being a musician. The following bands anger me:
Bands who pour water on the drummer and the drum set because it looks like you rock harder when you hit the symbols and the water splashes everywhere.
Bands that play a two hour set. That is too much.
Local bands that play more than once a week. Everyone gets tired of hearing the same shit over and over again.
Local bands with a manager. I hate to tell you that your band is going nowhere.
Bands who suck and talk shit about other bands.
Bands that make silly faces when they perform solos. It doesn't make you rock harder. It makes you look like your masturbating.
Bands that talk politics and have no idea what the fuck they're talking about. I hate terrorists too. We all know you're a right wing republican nut in a metal band. Shut up already. Ted Nugent sucks.
Bands who bring other bands with them that are not on the calendar. I want to see the bands I came to see. I don't want too see a bunch of shitty bands open up for the band I want to see. That takes too long. I work during the day. I can't be in a bar all night.
Bands that use one of their girlfriends as the manager. 9 times out of 10 she's a total fucking bitch (just look at the fate of Chris Cornell and Susan Silver's marriage).
Bands that blame the sound guy for sounding like shit. You can't polish a turd.
Bands that can't play longer than a 15 minute set. Wait before you get a show. People have to pay money for that nonsense.
Bands that show up wearing "All Access" passes around their necks. You are not special. I wanted to operate a spaceship when I grew up, but you don't see me walking around wearing a spacesuit at the club.
