Once again, it's time for the FNGT!

If you don't know how this works, . That link will take you to another site to give you some additional information and tell you about some of our off-site features. That's also the site where we will host the weekly guitar threads, should Poal go down.

NOTE: That site is by invitation only. If you want an invite, and you're a regular participant, then just ask Crazy, or myself.

If you do know what's going on, you probably don't need to click that link - but you may want to, to make sure you know of the other features, such as the archive or a separate forum that's invite only.

Remember, we are guests here on Poal. Let's act like it. If you're interested in supporting Poal, then .

Damned right! Do it!

Like 95% of all bands fail pretty early on, so don't take it too seriously. Treat it like a business, but treat each other like friends.

Remember, drugs and alcohol don't actually make good bands or performances, unless that's the point. If that's the point, see the bit about 95% of all bands failing quickly.

If you're performing, your job is to entertain people. If they're not entertained, you don't get called back. If you don't get called back, you don't make any money. If making money is your goal, see the part about 95% of all bands failing pretty quickly.

Rehearse... See above... Your job is to entertain. Sloppy musicians aren't entertaining.

Well, if you ever need suggestions or advice, I'm pretty much an expert. I've performed with countless bands over the years.

As you can see with BDE, I kinda know what I'm talking about! LOL They went from making maybe $100 a weekend to making their entire living through their musicianship. It's possible!

But of course I thought of that already. They just left, they are coming back tomorrow and we are going to jam then. They want to learn to play my songs. Plus do others that they wrote or have us come up with some together. The drummer guy wants to do thrash metal but my songs really aren't thrash metal for the most part and that other guitar player guy doesn't play fast, LoL. So I think it's going to end up to be a rock and roll band with a double bass drum beat sometimes
