    Good songwriters?

    Joking Aside Joking Aside, We Brits and Americans should really credit Rock and Roll's origins to Africa, where the blues originally came from.

    In that case I'm not a Brit, I'm a "European".

    As for Hendrix! Jimi Hendrix would of remained an unknown if he hadn't been "discovered" by the English. And while you were bopping along to Gene Pitney and other lame teen idols, The Beatles were listening to Fats Domino, Elvis, Little Richard and working on an invasion strategy!

    If this sounds ignorant, tell me.

    As a financially challenged musician, I have yet to record a studio quality demo. The one time my band went into a professional studio to record the 'real' thing was back in 1993 and we fired our singer half way through the process so we were left with a lot of debt and great tracks with no...

    Krystof01 : When you spoke to John on the phone he was simply being modest, at least that's what he told me at the pub last night! Aaron : Not a bad list, with perhaps the exception of John Denver (of course in my opinion) :) You know who I forgot? 1. Carole King 2. Neil Diamond 3. Simon Le...

    YO Krystof01! Who are you to tell me who I think The Who's best writer is? If I say it is John Entwistle, then to me it is John Entwistle. I suggest you listen to the 1970 album 'The Ox' by The Who and then get back to me. He makes Pete Townsend sound like an amateur.

    Good songwriters?

    I'm assuming that was some flame bait? If you are serious, Marshall Mathers aka Slim Shady aka Eminem is in my opinion not a great songwriter. Firstly the music and melody is usually decided by his boss Dr. Dre and his cronies. Secondly his lyrics while entertaining are hardly groundbreaking...

    Getting a record deal could ruin your passion!

    I have read many articles about bands that have made it all the way. Most seem to state that once they have to make music for a living, that they need to find a different outlet for a hobby or to simply relax. Many take up fishing (Roger Daltrey and many more), Golf (Huey Lewis and many more)...

    CD Production... Use a company like Discmakers? Or do it myself with my computer?

    Looking for good L.A. guitar stores

    You Bastard, How dare you gloat and buy guitars 'just to hang up on the wall' while I have to play and record every day with my beat up Epiphone. Sod Off!

    Please check my first mp3 attempts

    I checked out that lead solo on one of your recordings, sounded pretty good for a live gig with the exception of the tape hiss that is rather prevalent. The guitarist plays very well also, a little fast for my taste but it still sounded good.
