Q

Just because some of you get angry because you can't get people interested in your projects, please don't start playing stupid on me; you really are embarrassing yourselves. How long have some of you been around this site, or the rest of the industry for that matter, with literally no commercial or social success? What's that? ... You don't have much to say now eh? ...

Don't brush off my success in marketing myself so easily. Doesn't it say something about YOU that, how did some of you put it- "some unknown talentless idiot from the sticks" can get all of this attention when you and your "seriously talented" and "great sounding" music get thrown by the wayside EVERY SINGLE TIME. Well ... Admit it ... The truth hurt's doesn't it?

I will gladly charge for my review services if anyone want's it. I understand how frustrated some of you are that the only attention you can get is from some unknown person like me; I would love to help you out ...

Just because I don't go into minute detail about the problems with my recordings doesn't mean that I don't know that they exist or that I can't define or comprehend them in a technical way. Once again, the reason I have posted material from different time periods is to show that I intend to, and do get more refined as I go along. Which as you know, cannot honestly be said about some of you "my way or the highway" types.
 
Oh yeah ... I can charge by the project or by the hour. It's your choice ...

That raises a fundemental question; Is more better? Any recording techniques or sounds from let's say before the 80's can be duplicated. The same cannot be said for the equipment, or most engineeer's skills for that matter, from bygone era's if they were somehow to be brought to the present day. The amount of options has increased. Does this in of itself mean that sound qualities are better in today's world? Some would say so ...

... And what of the opinions of people raised during or after the 80's? Growing up with all different aspects of projected music, from each era of recorded music to draw their opinions from, seems as if it would make for a broader scope of understanding. For the most part you old-timers cannot, and would not, even listen to something "new" in tone or projection method; due to the jealousy and fear that invades most of your thought's as you begin to comprehend your own limitations and even mortality. The youth of today are much more open-minded in regards to opinions about art of all kinds than even you older "hippie-types". You see, in their minds they can live forever and anything is possible; so, they are much more likely to experience and know a larger amount of information just from the amount of input they willingly receive.

Now it's time for a reality check. Is your opinion of sound quality based on facts, or whymsical notions about your past?

See ....... here's where you start to have an actual interesting conversation about sound quality which would be a valid and useful discussion; and stick a bunch of insults in it so it'll continue to be adversarial. Unneeded and counterproductive.
As for open mindeness ....... I think I'm way more open than a lot of my younger friends. For the record ....... people pay money to see me play first off. So I don't have to ask anyone to listen to me. ........ and my opinions on sound quality are based on facts rather than any predisposition to not like newer stuff. i play in several bands ranging from bands with other geezers to bands with 20 year olds playing Weezer. I can play either ....... but a lot of my young friends can only play new stuff.
So just being young doesn't automatically mean you are more accepting of a wider variety of music or sounds.

Consider yourself having extremely well marketed yourself to... well... less than 100 persons that have participated in this thread (myself included...and I'm a nobody who rarely speaks up). If you consider that successful...any normal person would think otherwise. I wouldn't consider it as creating a fan base.

You invited critique. You received it.....good and bad as it were. Be a man and accept the comments for what they were instead of persisting that in some way YOU will prevail in converting others to your train of thought (whatever that may be).
 
First I want to break my own new rule of engagement, and apologize to you directly Lt. Bob. Some of those comments were meant for you, but not all of them. You seem as if you are a smart and respectable person; I wouldn't want you to think that I initiated any negativity your way for no reason. I am addressing so many issue's that at times my words are taken in the wrong way by the wrong people. I guess I should start quoting, but some of you little girls cry and get upset very easily. So, I thought it may be better to speak only in general terms. Once again, I apologize for any misunderstandings ...


In general I would say that most of today's younger people are more open-minded than those of past era's, but you are right in that it is not an automatic right of existence to be young and have an open-mind. Open-mindedness and intelligence levels are of course two seperate issue's though ... (wink). I have come to this conclusion because of the actions taken by each individual generation. Social, economic, and religious education and tolerance is much more prevalent these days. I would site the major instances that have formed my viewpoint, yet mabye that would best be saved for another time.


Anyone making money from their artistic endeavors has my complete respect. Most of my more negative comments are aimed at those critic's that sit in their homes and small businesses and sink to the level of an "arm-chair quaterback". You all know the type; they don't have any material that is really their own, (well recorded or not), or that is of any worth to anyone besides themselves; and they rip other people's accomplishment's apart when ever they can get the chance. It doesn't make them feel any better though; they are still unknown and lonley which is a rather sad fate.




Now ... Out of pitty ... A moment of silence for those who are now on suicide-watch ...




The man.


The truth.


The legend.

A good rule of thumb is to never belittle another persons achievments, and that is my honest opinion. Some of you may not give worth to others opinions, or even their own, but I do. 100 people that know about me now are 100 people that didn't know about me before. EVERY opinion has worth. Mabye this is why some of you make great music but don't go anywhere because can't market yourselves very well ...


Just something to think about ...


Of course a little personality might help too ...

Well... since you've yet to achieve anything, it's not really an issue then...... :rolleyes:
 
I said I was done, but like everything else I say, it was bullshit.

Bingo. That's the first thing I've seen you opine about that is absolutely correct. You really need to quit slamming people that you know nothing about.

Well, I've never made great music in my life, but I manage to play in a couple of bands and sell some CD's every now and again. How's your regular gig working out? As you look down on all us little people from your lofty perch of superstardom resulting from your marketing genius, don't forget to ask the next person that puts money in YOUR hands whether he wants fries with his order.

The next time I want to give off that "I'm the only retard who ALSO HAS a multiple personality disorder with histrionic tendencies" vibe, I'll start heeding your advice.

Don't get me wrong...I think you're funny - but only during those brief periods where I believe you're not taking yourself seriously. Sadly, the more I see you begging people to listen to the utter shit that represents the greatest inspiration that your genius has spawned, the sadder it gets. I'm not pissed at you or anything...you've never done a thing to me; if you wanna' take a few lines to rip on me and call me a "never was," that's fine. You don't know me, but that description would certainly fit, lol. I just think you need to relax A LOT and get a grip on why you're compelled to yell at the world like some 12 year old with A.D.D.

Whatever...this is still the most entertaining read in the clinic.

Enjoy your fame, Mr. Legend.
 
For your information I do not have to work. I am sufficiently taken care of by a woman. How does that strike you? I realized long ago that I do not wish to sign up for the 30-year contract. I have been there and didn't like the long term implications concerning my limited time on this earth. I have other things in mind for myself ...

I haven't begged for reply's like you either my friend. Yes, I have read some of your cries for attention. I have indeed intiated and welcomed any response; but I haven't, and won't, beg- for anything.

I do find it intersting that you say these things about my so-called "advice" yet you use my name in your Mp3 post. What's the matter, you can't get anyone to listen to your material on your own merit? I wonder why that is ...

Hhhhhhmmmmm ...

As far as getting a "regular" gig goes ... Come on and get real! Anyone can get a "paying" job; even in a place like Salt Lake. How much you are actually making is the question. Playing for beer, or a "split" of some measly profit on a continual basis is no sign of finacial success or achievment; and it is definately something that is not worth bragging about or trying to support your petty notions with.

For the sake of truth- I have worked at McDonalds twice when I was much younger. Everyone has a function in life. What makes working at a fast food place so bad anyway? Most managers start at 30,000.00 a year; which is comparable to most wages earned by those with non-technical degree's. Just out of curiousity ... Who else do you look down on? Women? Minorities? Those with different sexual taste's? Or just about anyone that doesn't agree with you? Check yourself pal because you are now the one who is the egotistical prick.

The next time you are hard at work giving your time, energy, and life-blood to someone else, just think of me laughing at your supposed importance.





The epic tale of the legend Jesse Michael Garcia continues ...

Wow... what a mensch you are!! Not even man enough to support yourself..... unbelieveable... :eek: :rolleyes:

Until this point, I was merely laughing at the pompous, overblown ego you display here (without anything resembling true talent to even remotely justify your attitude) - now I find you're just plain pitiful, as well as being a talentless and clueless fuckwit.

How do you even live with yourself?

Sad... how very sad.... it won't stop me from calling you out on your bullshit, but I honestly feel very sorry for you....

I've been playing longer than you've been alive. I've played 1000's of gigs to 10's of thousands of people. I've had guys call me to fill in with only a weeks notice. You know why? Cause I'm good and well respected.

You have a long way to go junior.

Is this supposed to impress us ?

I'm with Blue Bear. This makes you even more pathetic in my opinion.

Then there is you.

You need to get over yourself. Seriously.

Oh and BTW. I'm pretty sure that Chris could fart and be more on key than you could ever be.
 
Calling me on my bullshit?

Yeah you are really letting me have it; I don't know if I can continue ...

... And yes I would like to impress you and win over your opinion. That's why I am being so patient with some of you ...

I am a stay-at-home dad that takes care of 4 kids and I can guarantee that the majority of you have no idea what real work is. I am very glad to have the opportunity to stay home and watch my kids grow up, and play music at my leisure. So you think less of me for this huh? Too bad. I won't lose any sleep over it ...

Concerning my manhood ...

Most of you pathetic waste's of life are out of shape and ugly on both the inside and outside to boot. I am not threatened at all, by what in your own mind, seems to be your "imposing masculinity". I laugh at you. In real life, this would be the point that I either started throwing blows or would watch you cower down into the shadows and punk-out.

The amount of time that you have been playing is completely irrelevant in regards to your abilities. For someone in any age group to make this type of argument is ridiculous.

So ... you have also played for tens of thousands of people. Honestly, I wish that I could say the same thing but I can't, so you have my respect for that. Does this give you any credibility concerning your playing skills? No, not really. Granted, you may be a very experienced musician; but playing out doesn't qualify you as a good player. I will spare you the list of artist's that have played even more gigs than you that are terrible musicians. You see ... I have openly given you my compliments for your accomplishment's; does this make me weak?
 
I am late to the party can some one bring me up to speed as to why this thread is 9 pages long. LOL

Translation - You're an unemployed, 30 something burnout with shitty demo recordings and no band. How's that working out for you, champ?

...please, listen to the other songs I posted.

...why won't you listen to the other songs I've posted and see my evolution...

...I just posted an older song of mine...

... don't judge me off of one or two songs....

Mabye your opinion will change after you here some more of my material. It is true that those two songs are similar; yet as I am sure that the other gentlemen can attest to, they are in the least very unlike the other two that I had orginally posted. I'll post more ... in time ...

...The second song I put up should bring you back in ...

...I have posted some new songs on my Purevolume site for your scrutiny...

... I'll post more soon ...

...someone says they won't even listen to me...

No, it's because it's a funny thread title, and I'm a funny guy. You're the punchline because you're a fucking joke - get it yet?

You're going Sybil on us again, but that's about what I'd expect since everything you say is total bullshit. Anyway, since you asked the question, answer it; How well is your music career paying you, Jesse? Apparently, it's paying you well enough for you to have to be "taken care of." LEEEWWWWZZZEEEERRRRRRR.

Your fatal flaw (besides sucking) is that you seem to equate monetary gain with "success" when it comes to music. Music isn't a job for me, it's a passion. I have a job that pays the bills pretty nicely. I record my own crappy songs for free, because I enjoy it immensely. However, despite the fact that music is still (and will always be) nothing more than a hobby for me, I probably made more off of it in the last month than you have in your whole pathetic life, and that's a fact. It doesn't make me important, it doesn't make me a better person than you, but it damned sure makes me a lot happier than you.

Truth hurts, eh?

Still threatened, apparently.
 
tsk tsk tsk.

Some of you are rather slow-witted so here we go ...

Each of the request's that you took out of context was for different songs to be listened too. I believe that I have posted more than ten different songs during the course of this thread. I am not begging; just simply bringing new material to everyone's attention. This is a review thread after all right?

Now you are going to pull the "I just do my music for myself" trip. That is a pathetic cop-out that I have heard by others many times before ...

So you want to talk about making money? Truth be told- I don't make much money off of my music- yet. So what? Here's another way to look at it ... Count up all of the people that you have played to over your long career. Do any of them remember or care about you? How many cd's have you actually sold to people outside of your lillte circle? What label are you signed to may I ask? Any? When you get right down to it, you are a nobody who's music has been passed over year after year by all of these so many differen't people that know of you. Why go public if you play music just for yourself? You must have cared at some point to try to get "known". How did that work out for you? Is that why you are so bitter? It seems that you are glossing over the main point. You judged my finacial success in regards to music in comparison to yours. The small amount of money that you make is irrelevant really at this level of success that we both share mutually. You are unknown. You don't, (or can't), support yourself through music. Welcome to the club champ.


... And if you have a good job that's great. You are still are harboring anger and frustration within yourself. Look at the way you are tripping out on me. Me; a "talentless loser". Why should you care? Why do you keep coming back? Surely by your words you don't think much of me as a person, so why do you keep initiating a response from me? Is it because I am becoming a voice of reason to you now? Or are you just covering up some secret crush? It's okay. Just don't get to close; I have a feeling you have a little "stalker" deep down inside of you somewhere ...

Intimidated? Hardly. I don't have a split-personality like some of you. I do not act any different in the real world than I do in cyberspace. Point being; if you wan't to talk some shit and have a good time I am all for it. If you wan't to get personal and start taking your frustrations about YOUR life out on me, then you most likely would get punched. Straight up.
